BOS "Stay."  This song nails me to the wall.  Just what I need as I - gah - return to work after what feels like an eternity off.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

"Sweet Love Hangover"... definitely not a BOS, but a welcome listen nonetheless.

Mercy sakes!  Annalisa's got a year-kicking theme going of aggressive fuck-the-man optimism going.  BOS to "Convoy," an underappreciated production with that banjo and the swelling strings on the last verse.  But gah, those Muppets at the end ...


I wonder why the Tea Party hasn't taken Convoy as they're theme song?  Just like them, it's grass roots, and features lot of puppets in the chorus.  oh snap!

So.. these truckers are all heading to Boston, speeding, refusing to pay tolls, etc.  At least they're safe when they need to be, judging from the CB chatter to back off the log truck and the gas truck or whatever.  

We need to add Convoy song to our "Songs That Feature Banjo" list, which is somewhere.


BOS to a lot here.

I keep expecting them to say "I'll Take You There". Either that or something about the song makes me tone-deaf.

Gerry Ford blows it in the right direction. "And get off my lawn!"

BOS5 Graham Parker -- "Don't ask Me Questions", bustout of the day.  I had 3 GP tunes on my '76 wishlist  (Heat Treatment/Hotel Chambermaid/Pourin it all Out) but this was unexpected.

I'll have to request "Wake Up Next To You" next time 1985 rolls around, in addition to of course, "Lovergirl".
