the great thing about the Drive's shorter list of active years is that the good years come up more often...

hooray for Rhymin' Simon. He's a consumated man...  which is better than being a constipated man, certainly.

Is that "Loves Me Like a Rock"?  That song annoys me.  I'll be over in a few minute; the Peak just went from Broooce's "Rosalita" to Edie Brickell's "Circle."  Can't tune out yet.

BOS EJ "Teacher I Need You" -- this one hasn't been played in ages. I used to play it back-to-back with ABBA's "When I Kissed the Teacher".

I've never heard this one!  Sounds like Elton had been listening to "Doctor My Eyes" a few times.

Not sure how to parse that.  I don't have a general dislike of Paul at all (only that song and "Slip Slidin' Away"), I hasten to emphasize.  "Like a Rock" is just too old-time-y for me, I s'pose.

YES! totally. Too bad the J-5 didn't cover this (as they did the Browne tune).

I'm surprised Kid Rock hasn't done a cover of "Can't You See" yet.

Kid Rock feat. ________.  Nelly? Fitty? The Game?

As I noted the other day, Waylon Jennings did a nice cover of this.

Rockin' Rod's missing a set with both ABB and MTB.  TCB!

BOS2 Zappa, the pigmy pony, and his lowly dental floss.

Wax On -- Wax Off!  Frank gets easy BOS by singing of dental floss.  Maybe he can send his leftover wax to Mick Jagger's dad (is that "ceiling" wax or "sealing" wax? I never knew).

sealing wax, as in the old custom of sealing an envelope with a  blob of melted wax and stamping it with your seal or crest (you've seen it done in a hundred movies).

I never quite got Zappa's obsession with helium-voiced backup singers, tho'.

There's a lot not to get where Frankie Z's concerned.

Meantime, my own personal BOS goes to the Doobs, still as thrilling as the first time I ever heard "Long Train Runnin'."

few songs evoke summer '73 for me like that one does. and in lieu of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Get Down" it'll have to suffice  :wink:

Ah, and now the inevitable (it seems) Stealer's Wheel.
