A sledgehammery year, but it'll be OK.

Especially when Edgar, Rick & Co are givin' Free Rides!

Dude! Sweet! BOS2!

Y'know, I figure a guy with a "little willy" would go home -- alone -- more often than not.

as usual, Bob plays Orleans' "Dance With Me" in '73, the year it was released (tho' nobody actually, y'know, heard it on the radio until '75).

I never knew this.  Does the distaste extend to their cover of "Mamy Blue"?

No. In fact I almost posted "WOS Stories, hitting #1 with their only truly bad single". "Mammy Blue" was quite good, and check out their Macca-esque (or at least Emmitt Rhodes-esque) "I'm Coming Home", from the summer of '72.

I disliked "BL" at the time because to me (not having heard the Hot Choc version) it was just a retread of "Society's Child", which I felt had done the interracial-romance thing definitively.
