Every one in America spoke a least a little French in 1975, thanks to LaBelle:

Fame by David Bowie.  Katrina?  seems we hear it so much, but HM anyway.

James Brown borrowed from Bowie for his 1976 song called Hot, but it was never as famous.  If it was, David would've sued the Godfather, so I've heard.

whoa, Cortez the Killer.

meandering and vast.  BOS again. 

fine selections here, so far.  But I wonder if Rob will head down to the Bowery and check out the budding NY rock scene...

Oh Ringo please, your "No No" makes me sneeze. VHM.

"Walk This Way" is legal in '75? They really had a case of delayed-45 syndrome.

That commercial for Nashville made the movie seem like a wacky comedy.  It did have its funny moments, but I see it as a tragedy.  But how can you create a concise commerical for such a meandering and vast movie? 


I note that Ringo mentions Nashville Tennessee in No No No:

A man I know just came from Nashville, Tennessee-o
He smiled because I did not understand
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh-ho
He said it was the best in all the land
