well, that '77 set on the Peak will be hard to beat today. But the Drive is playing ELO now, pre-set, and surely Bob won't go to that well again in the same half-hour, will he?

funny to hear that Nixon "I let the American people down" clip twice in an hour.

Damn! "Amie" -- I was gonna predict Pure Prairie League...

Ack!  I was inadvertently Deep-Tracking instead.  But at least I got a JS dose anyway: they Played On Love.

And followed it with Kansas, "Portrait (He Knew)" ... or, as Dave calls it, "Portrait -- (hushed voice) *He knew.*"

Enjoying '75 from home now.  I'd been summoned for jury duty, but was excused when I couldn't commit to a trial longer than three days.  Decided to exact a measure of revenge on the BMMB by coming home instead of going back to work.  Now I can finish my paper in relative peace.

Well, glad you're here, and sorry you missed the Peak's fab '77 set (see my recap).  here's Dwight -- his Katrina's on Fire!

Paul & Mlle. Kitty, together again. "It's like a relic from a different age" indeed!

my daughter is taking a Beatles course at UCSC, and we talked about it last night, somewhat in light of mshray's essay.  I still feel Paul was the lightweight Beatle, but the best tunesmith.

Here's a dumb question: Was "Venus and Mars" an operative metaphor for men's & women's different ways of thinking back in '75 (cf: the John Gray self-help books)?

HM to "Rock Show" at any rate.  I regret that I never had the opportunity to spend a day getting dolled up with friends in anticipation of a show.

Anyone else notice, and find it odd, that Bob and Dave both regularly play the title track from Young Americans, but not the far bigger hit "Fame"?

Some sub-connections in this set: Brooooce was followed by a song called "I'm on Fire"; Paul McCartney was followed by a song that refs "A Day in the Life."  Probably coincidental, but still cool.

I would say No, although they have (in a literary sense) always symbolized beauty (female?) vs. War (male?).

VHM to Rhoda Morgenstern, and to the last bit of soul the Doobies could wheeze out before being swallowed by Michael McWhitebread.

I don't find it odd: it seems to me that YA is more beloved by Bowie fans. It was huge at AOR back in the day.
