least necessary of set: "Spiders & Snakes"


If he's gotta play Jim Stafford, why not "My Girl Bill"? Just for the debate it would spark on this board if nothing else.  :wink:


Personally I found that song quite clever.

Mars Hotel

Not a big stretch, but betting we hear something off the GD's From the Mars Hotel, in keeping with Mr. Garcia's passing. Scarlet Begonias anyone? (More likely Ship of Fools, actually...)

"I'd like to see you in the raw...under the stars above..." Anyone else think that's a particularly ironic line?

Mars Hotel was so 1974, I miss it!

Me too--but I figured the song's ambiguity would be a good source of chatter here. Although he does kind of resolve any uncertainty as to who the song is directed at in the last verse.

BOS BOZ, just a f***ing gorgeous song.  Amazing that somebody else didn't score with a cover version of this, a la Rita Coolidge with "We're All Alone".

I wanna hear B.T Express "Do It Till Your Satisfied" I wonder if his friends called him 'Beet'?

LOL!

As for "Radar Love"- I prefer the Homer Simpson version.

just watched a little last night the new live Boz DVD last night, and it includes this lovely song.  I recommend it:

Missed it, thanks to my cow orker demanding my attention for 5 minutes.

I wonder how many people who know all the words to "Radar Love" have ever even heard Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong".  Have any of y'all? (not that I have any doubt about Mike's answer).

Anyone remember B.J. Thomas' variety show? There was a segment where he'd improv a song based on audience suggestions. Pretty cool.

I wonder if his friends called him 'Beej', too.


When was this on?  I got stoned and I missed it, as it were.  Amazed that Beej was able to pull that off: He's acknowledged that he spent much of the '70s heavily coked up and literally does not remember the recording of "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song."  (Which I've been jonesing to hear for a very long time as well.)

I imagine it could be done, but the original is just so...perfect!  Maybe it has been done.

I have it on one of my recording-various-stuff-from-Barry-Scott mix tapes.  Solid song, but weird to think they were grooving to this down the highway.  Doesn't strike me as the most memorable single, and I'm surprised it made it all the way to #11.

"Paaaa-yyyy-iiin / Come on in ..."
