5 Oct 2011: it's... 1977
« on: October 04, 2011, 10:03:35 PM »
AL posts a YT clip of Roky Erickson's "Starry Eyes" that says copyright 1986; but the song came out in '77 (and we've heard it in several '77 sets). People have guessed '84, '88 (which we visited, um YESTERDAY!), and generally are making pointless off-topic comments. C'mon people -- it's 10:00, I wanna go to bed.

ETA: it's now 10:30 and I give up.

ah, i was right, it turns out: '77.

Isn't it time for a non-Katrina?  oh well...

I always heard this as an hommage to the Rascals ("How can I Be Sure" etc)
