The Drive, 3/7/08: 1968!!

[RGMike]

Woo Hoo! Happy Friday!

TOTHK: Jimi on da Watchtowah!

[RGMike]

ooo! Fever Tree for the 2nd time this week.

BOS to this Thom McAnn shoe store commercial -- is that Neil Diamond singing the praises of big brass buckles on loafers?

[RGMike]

Hooray! BOS in perpetuity for "Elenor" -- really!

[RGMike]

BOS3 Neil and the BS, "I Am a Child". You can't conceive of the pleasure in my ears.

[RGMike]

Somebody gimme a CHEEEZEburger!  VHM Steve Miller.

[RGMike]

please allow Mick to introduce hisself: he's a man of wealth and taste. Well... wealth, anyway.

[RGMike]

"Heah she come now, say Chase Manhattan."

"Heah she come now, say Union Dime"

(Tommy James trying out alternate concepts before arriving at "MONY MONY")

[RGMike]

BOS4 Supes' Coke commercial -- one of my favorite of the many that were done back then.

BOS5 Traffic, "Feelin' Alright".

[RGMike]

and we close with Deep Purple. 2 fine '68 sets in one week -- will Dave make it a trifecta? (It's been 6 weeks since he went there.)

 Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower 
 Fever Tree - San Francisco Girls 
 The Beatles - Hey Jude 
 The Turtles - Elenor 
 Buffalo Springfield - I am a Child 
 Steve Miller - Living in the U.S.A. 
 The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For the Devil 
 Tommy James & the Shondells - Mony Mony 
 Traffic - Feeling Alright 
 Deep Purple - Hush 

NOTE: The Drive website actually shows the Turtles tune as "Eleanor Rigby". Beatles on the brain, I guess.

Mike, I don't know if I played it for you or talked about it already, but I have a CD full of Coke and similar (Great Shakes) jingles by a wide range of artists.  A music journalist named Douglas Wolk had given an EMP presentation on the history of those jingles and gave me and a few others CDs of the stuff he'd compiled.

ooo I would lurve a burn of that!  Some 15 years ago Coke put out a commercial CD of all those spots and I saw it at Tower and passed it by -- out of print now and worth quite a bit.

I'd love one too, and thanks for the birthday disc you sent. 

If you ever take the time to browse the Db you can request in return any sets that have an A in the A column.

I'll pay for a burn of that CD, if possible?
