The Drive, 5/11/09: 1972!

[RGMike]

Mick rolls the "Dice", Jim Gilstrap sings on Stevie's "Sunshine", and Lucca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes. "Bada-BING!"

[RGMike]

Doobs go rockin' down the highway.  BOS Still Bill, "Lean on Me".

[RGMike]

Bob pulls another of his famous play-it-when-it-was-released-not-when-it-was-a-hit scams, with PPL's "Amie".  The loooooong version.

[RGMike]

WOS Ringo. I said this last week when Casey played it: my least-fave of his hits. "Back Off"? from what?

[RGMike]

BOS2 EJ, "Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters".  proxy-of-Gaz, whose own seeds will be sown in Noo Yawk Citt-ah.

"subway's no way for a good man to go down..."

[RGMike]

Jethro Tull has something that's thick as a brick. Er...

[Tinka Cat]

i missed the Stones, so BOS EJ. 

nice xref w the awesome Walter Matthau movie.  The remake looks typically super duper improved!  (not)   

(achoo!)

eta: -- also, BOS Tull, dude.

i missed the Stones, so BOS EJ. 

nice xref w the awesome Walter Matthau movie.  The remake looks typically super duper imporved!  (not)   

(achoo!)

I watched the orig TP123 over the wknd; one of the classic Noo Yawk flicks, like French Connection or Serpico. Matthau rules, he's surrounded by all these great NY character actors (I noticed this time that the guy playing the mayor looks like Ed Koch, but Koch wouldn't be elected until 3 years later). Tons of great lines ("How am I supposed to run a fuckin' railroad without cursing?"). You just KNOW the remake will be pumped full of 'roids (it's Tony Scott directing Denzel in the Matthau role). It's gotta suck.  But they do have James Gandolfini as the mayor.

[RGMike]

it was a long cool Creedence in a T-Rex.

[Tinka Cat]

This set seems tried and true, but nothing to complain about:

War's The World is a Ghetto and The Hollies' Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress (very fun to play on gee-tar)

[RGMike]

whaa? an all-Winwood set tomorrow?  Hrm -- a good day to listen to JJ on KPOO!

[Gazoo]

Doobs go rockin' down the highway.  BOS Still Bill, "Lean on Me".

Whose idea was it to make the album cover look like Soviet propaganda?

Thanks for the proxy, Mike, but my seeds ain't gettin' sown in this city.  So to speak.
