"Strange Magic" sounding nice today.

Wow, either she's got the worst case of spider veins ever, or that's some funky moire pattern on her tights there.

One of VERY few songs that I adore and Mike dislikes: "Why Can't We Be Friends?"

OK, once again: I don't dislike it. (indeed, I thought it was you who criticized the lyrics) But it IS rather overplayed.

It does seem to pop up frequently in '75 sets. And there's a bigger K yet to come in this one. (This set is from May 30, 2007, if anyone cares to peek.)

BOS the Mighty Zep -- why no one's done a dance cover of this is a mystery.

Ain't talkin' 'bout love, but I am talkin' 'bout a BOS for the Mighty Zep.

Isn't this one of the several Zep tunes that were liberally sampled by the Beastie Boys?
