classic TOP, with that tight rhythm section
So Very Hard to Go

BOS to "So Very Hard to Go."  I understand this song a little bit better with every listen.  It's a special kind of message.  (cf: my recent blog entry on "You Gave Me Somebody to Love.")

agreed.  This ages extremely well alongside most of the rest of the songs, which is not a put-down for me of the other songs.  There's just something classic and simultaneously modern about it.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

BTW, I nearly missed this set because I discovered that KOFY TV 20 has revived Bullwinkle and Underdog and are showing them back-to-back, weekday mornings from 10-11!  Hokey Smoke!

Wow! Got to program my DVR tonight!

Me too.  Was only peripherally aware of it until I started listening to 10@10, but it's become kind of a retroactive sledgehammer for me.

Soul Makossa
(proper title/spelling?)

you are correct sir!

but Continuity Alert: it's not often we get a song twice in less than a week.

Maybe the person picking reruns is trying to get the man more residuals, in light of his recent lawsuit against Rihanna and Michael Jackson:  http://www.theboombox.com/2009/02/04/rihanna-michael-jackson-named-in-650k-lawsuit/

Just did a quick hunt for this one in the DB--it's in there as a classic twice: it was part of 10 10@10s for 10/10 on Oct 10 '04, and it was a classic again on March 7 of '08.
Let's get right to it.
