Had I been quicker on the draw, it would have been.  What a simply amazing, amazing song.

My uncle Mike bought me the Beatles' just-mentioned "Blue Album" (1967-1970) for my 5th birthday, at the end of '77.  I've been grateful ever since for his prescience.

and just as amazing is that it got played on "album rock" stations alongside Led Zep and Pink Floyd.

Haha!  Perfect!

Meanwhile, BOS2 to "Time in a Bottle."  I'm not sure I was aware Jim Croce was dead when I first heard his hits in the mid-late '70s.

From Carson's locus to "Hocus Pocus."  Nice.

BOS3 to "Grey Seal," so evocative of my acclimation to SF in the fall of '96.  Who cares if the lyrics are nonsense, that never stopped Taupin before!
