The Shray man's gonna be bummed, unless he gets to hear this in the car.
Dave begins with one of his fave '68 Katrinas, "Do It Again".

Early BOS to ReeRee
Making me think of the Blues Bros. movie

Was I just distracted, or is Do It Agan really really short? Seemed like it was maybe 2 minutes...

yes, very short (2:25). As is "Think" (2:20).
But here's a long day's journey to the center of Ted's mind. I see a lot of red meat in there...
-
VHM "Hold Me Tight" but this is very much"Morey's Greatest '68 Hits" so far.
-
BOS2 "Pride of Man"... "a very important record in it's time..."
-

BOS for me too, though must be approaching Katrina status...where's Mark when you need 'im?
-

I can ditto that BOS.

I can ditto that BOS.
Then I'll tritto it.... :D

BOS3 Fever Tree. "San Francisco girls with San Francisco ways..."
or to quote a current KFOG hit, "got them hippie girls, takin' off all their clothes."
-
I like that Vanilla Fudge Coke commercial. I thought it was gonna be Moby Grape's "Omaha", which is always welcome.
-
OMGWTFLOL! Elvis, "US Male" -- a breakout, it seems to me. BOS4!

Checking in with a belated BOS. SF psychadelia (sp?) gets me every time.
-

Dated, maybe? "that makes her the property of this US Male". Oy.
-
BOS2 "Pride of Man"... "a very important record in it's time..."
A very important record in ANY time, I'd argue. In the past year I've gotten to hear David Freiberg sing the hell out of this song live twice, and feel a better person for it.
Would love some recording action, as staying up for the replay would imperil my capacity to work tomorrow. :?
-
BOS Hey Jude.
10-Way BOS!
-

a period piece, for sure. Of course, in 1968 Elvis was a period piece himself.
Oy, "Hey Jude". Time for a bathroom break.

Not dated if you're a Southern Baptist or a Promise Keeper. But yeah, Oy indeed.
PS: Seems like I should get Moby Grape. But I don't. Argh.

I guess I just have a special place for Hey Jude.

Don't worry, so do I. Especially when Paul starts vamping, "Ju-Ju-ju-jud-ay-jud-ay-jud-ay-jud-ay-WOW!" I don't think anyone had vamped like that on a major hit before, and I loved how Roland Orzabal revamped (heh) it on the outro of "Sowing the Seeds of Love."
-

from '56 to '64.
re: Moby Grape, in '68 Goofy Grape was more my speed.
(it was a flavor of "Funny Face" drink mix, an attempt by General Foods to compete with Kool-Aid)
-
[Especially when Paul starts vamping, "Ju-Ju-ju-jud-ay-jud-ay-jud-ay-jud-ay-WOW!" I don't think anyone had vamped like that on a major hit before
er, what about "Winchester Catherdral"? :wink:
BOSes 5 & 6, that extraordinary MLK tape followed by Spanky and Our Gang, "Give a Damn". Chills.
-
Who's doing this "Give a damn about your fellow man" song? It sounds kinda like what Belle and Sebastian are doing now...

Do you mean you should like Moby Grape, or you should know what song I'm talking about? In case it's #2, "Omaha" is the "Listen my friends..." song. Though I have to admit I was actually thinking of "See", as in "Things ain't what they used to be, love's the only thing I see", or something like that.

Me also.

Which I can't get enough of. Though changing it up with "I Can Hear Music" (or, dare I dream, "Never Learn Not to Love") [ETA: Or "Darlin'."] once in a while would be welcome.

The Shray was groovin' his way down to Santa Cruz, but missed songs 5-6-7 while picking up some food for the picnic lunch. So I'm catching up on the replay. Woo Hoo!

Or a Mormon...

I'm surprised no one pointed out the neat segue from Cronkite's Tet Offensive summation, into the "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost the American people" quote, into "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" with the lines:
Generals order their soldiers to kill
And to fight for a cause
They've long ago forgotten
Although SF/C was tied for the biggest '68 Katrina coming in, so maybe that's why y'all didn't comment. Song still gives me chills & its relevance is, unfortunately, undiminished.
-
"Do It Again".
Which I can't get enough of.
Worth noting, then, that at the time the song was considered both a throwaway and a throwback, and a somewhat embarrassing one, particularly by those who had embraced the BBs post-"Good Vibrations" output. "A step backward creatively" was the cry from many. And it was a rather jarring and incongruous thing to hear on the radio in the midst of 2 assassinatons and a Chicago convention riot. Of course hindsight being 20/20, we can appreciate it now for the delightful instant-nostalgia piece that it was/is.
Interesting coda to this set: the Balboa theater is in the midst of a Boris Karloff fest, and tonite I saw Targets (1968), Peter Bogdanovich's first film. An amazing relic of the time, if you've never seen it.
God, "Give a Damn" is a great song! I had one of those "Give a Damn" buttons and wore it everywhere (which made me real popular in my Archie Bunker-esque Queens nabe).
-

As is true of "Pride of Man" and "Give a Damn." Would that some of today's artists attempt some kind of social relevance (as opposed to social reflection, which doesn't do as much good).
-

Yep, sounding even better the second time around. Sure hope Dave replays this in either the 2 or 3 slot tomorrow, 'cause I'll definitely catch it a 3rd time in that case.

Funny how I never really thought about the distance in perspective between someone who's lived through the year in question and someone who hasn't. You've apprehended my approach to the song precisely.
Think more logo-ing and slogan-ing would do any good for today's peace movement? Or are the kids too jaded for that? I'm dying to know how to get a young machine into motion.

It happens, it just doesn't get on the radio in as widespread a manner as it did back then. I wish you had access to KPIG, they play a LOT of current, VERY political stuff. I still say that Pink song, "Mr President", is quite amazing.

Where do I find KPIG on my dial? I keep meaning to look it up.

1510 AM -- but good luck getting them in the East Bay, the signal's low-power and pretty crappy. The FM version, based in Freedom/Watsonville is at 107.5 (you coulda listened today in Santa Cruz) but doesn't carry north of SJ. They're also on another frequency in SLO.
