BOS6 John's "Mind Games". Whenever I hear this, it's the fall of '73 and I'm suddenly driving across the Whitestone Bridge.

John Lennon promotes Tower Records into John Lennon "Mind Games"
An odd clip, I think, since the commercial wasn't even slightly humorous. Not really worthy of John.

I assume it was one of those spur-of-the-moment, he was in the studio at KLOS or KMET plugging his LP and they said "hey John -- for a lark, read this live commercial!"

What a blah set for me.  A very high LNQ in my opinion, and the rarities from Steve Miller and
Dr. John did nothing for me either.  1973 is on the downward slope from the '69-'71 plateau,
but it could be much better than this collection.

I agree.  Except for Mott, nothing grabbed me. The presence of Dream On kinda sullied the set, too.  I think it was my personal mood that affected my enjoyment.  I could not compartmentalize yesterday and, really, nothing sounded good all day long.

Well, I freely admit it helps to have been in high school at the time. So I probably graded on a curve today. Some of my '73 wish-list of songs I never got AL to play:

Misstra Know-it-all (Stevie W)
And I Love You So (Perry Como)
Night the Lights went out in Georgia (Vicki L)
Wild in the Streets (Garland Jeffreys)
Pretty lady (Lighthouse)
Give Me Your Money Please (BTO)
Across 110th St (Bobby Womack)
Dirty Love (Zappa)
Sylvia (Focus)
Superfly Meets Shaft (Jon & Ernest)
Free Electric Band (Albert Hammond)

on any given day, your mood, your triggered memories, the weather, etc, all might affect how a set sounds to you and any reaction is valid.  This set might sound fantabulous on another day when I wasn't being so rushed & harried, and if that happened I'd come up with something genius, like "Aw yah, good set!" ... and that's perfectly fine.  We're talking about pop music here, not brain salad surgery.  can't wait to read your book... :)

Well that's one copy sold!

I have a line in it about the two protagonists "listening to Dr John sing about 'brain salad surgery', not realizing they were performing it."

Ah, so it's not just me.  I had a rough start yesterday morning, and there's no question that
influenced my response to the show.  I try to be "objectively subjective," so while on a better
day I might have enjoyed a couple of the songs a bit more, I still think it wasn't that great
a set.

Today hasn't been much better.  My stress levels are through the roof, and I have no relief
in sight.  This morning's 10@10 just went in one ear and out the other.  I'll probably skip
the replay and try going to sleep early.  Morpheus offers the only respite, albeit temporary.

'73 from the KSAN playlist would be cool.

Hmmm.... I would have sworn that AL played this... I have a vague memory of hearing
it on 10@10.  It doesn't appear in any year, but I still can't shake the feeling of having
heard it, the whole "the poodle bites (come on Frenchy)" etc.  Strange... maybe she
played it some other time.
