HM to the "Alice" theme.  Always got a soft spot for that show.

I think this stems back to a long, long time ago when Geoff, Urth and I were discussing the (sadly out of print, they assure me) "Poptopia!" compilations of late-'70s power pop.

Aaahhh.  I wasn't putting the two together.  I have never heard this song before, but now I love it.

I'm somewhat of a Starship apologist, but this one isn't aging as gracefully (no pun intended) as the others.

VHM to Jane!Jane!Jane!

But BOS, of course, goes to the majestic "There But For the Grace of God Go I."  What an amazing song, lyrically and musically.  Socially conscious disco rocks!

Well, there's your Starship (Red Octopus, Dragon Fly) and there's your Starship (Freedom at Point Zero, Knee Deep in the Hoopla). Once Marty  bailed and Craig Chaquico unpacked his fuzztone, things went into decline.

Anyone out there able to fill me in on this disco piece that's on now? There But For the Grace of God?
