The quintessential Tune No. 10: "Just a Song Before I Go."  BOS2.  I like the restrained precision of Nash's voice here, the way he's steeling himself to avoid emotional breakdown at the departure.  Or am I reading too much into it?

Saw this article last night on the Chron website. The woman from SF who justifies trashing a storefront just disgusts me no end. I agree there was a grave injustice done by the BART cops, but the woman whose store just got trashed is not the person who needs to pay the price. Violence ain't the way, people...

Peter interviewed a BART guy this morning  who tried to invoke Dr King in appealing for non-violence; hope that still means something in 2009.  (And wonder if we'll get an MLK set on the 19th)

ETA: gotta love the guy in the article whose name is (I'm not kidding) Mandingo Hayes. He's 36, which means he was named after the book, not the movie.  ;)

Now THAT was a classic. One of the top '77 sets ever. Only song I have any complaint with is the Santana--which could have easily been a Sex Pistols or Ramones song. No Elvis ref though. And have to wonder if this set was selected on purpose for the Bowie tune, or if that was coincidental.

Can't tell you how many times I played that just before the news. One of the great 2-minutes-and-change singles.

BTW, I can't remember who it was, but some band put out an instrumental called "Just Before the News". Tee hee.

UPDATE: Kaiser just told us all to leave work at 1:30 due to the uncertain nature of the situation in the 'hood here in Oakland. 

UPDATED UPDATE: They're telling us to stay home tomorrow too!
