29 Aug 2013: it's... 1973

[Here'sToYa!]

"The year Brando snubbed the Oscars", which technically happened in April '73, but they were the Oscars for 1972 so could go either way, in the Renee universe.

Mr Walsh gives Steve Miller a riff to rip off a few years later.  "Rocky Mtn Way" is an LN for me.

What *is* the Rocky Mountain way? Does it involve John Denver?

Well, it's better than the way we had.

Or is it? In recent years, Colorado is best known for mass shootings and libertarianism, such as legalizing pot and all of its representatives voting for the Amash amendment to curtail the NSA's collection of telephone metadata.

Sonny & Cher on Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs into Four Tops "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)"

FWIW, there was '90's rap song based on this one: "Ain't no n***a like the one I got, no one can f**k you better."

ETA: It was Jay-Z's third single. I had thought it was somebody a lot more fly by night than that.

BOS5 -- a nice rarity. I wasn't in the mood for brain salad surgery from the good doctor but this is swell.

I take it that was when he was still on the down-low?

Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come"

Jimmy Cliff is a bit too LN for me, but pleasant nonetheless.

I meant back before Beyonce, when the rumors about him were rampant. Not that the rumors went away, exactly.
