am I in a weird mood, or did anyone else think the first 2-3 bars of the intro to "Baby Come Back" sounded like the intro Ambrosia:  I keep ho-ollll-ding o-o-o-on....to yesterday.

Someone on FB thought it *was* Ambrosia.  what a fool believes, indeed!

someone asked "Is this Ambrosia?" on Facebook..

ooh! cheeky Doobie's on What's Happening...!  I remember this ep pretty well: "Which Doobie you be?"

So I'm not so much in a weird mood as I am sharing a wavelength with a clueless Foghead?   YIKES!

I distinctly remember some years back seeing the VH-1 special on the Doobies, and Skunk was talking about how much tension and unpleasantness was going on when Tommy left & Michael McD assumed creative control.  But he added: "Now I'll take a bullet for the guy."

make of that what you will.
