indeed, BOS to the Rev.  But "a very hip in it's time 7-11 commercial"? I'm tempted to say "there's no such animal", but we'll see.  Anti-Nixon Slurpees, perhaps? "Bring the Boys Home" Burritos?

Just occurred to me--when was the last time we had two early 70s (pre-76) sets back to back? Quite awhile I'm guessing.

I was hoping that the "phone call form the president" was going to be LBJ calling Thurgood Marshall, and we'd be in for 1965.

...but as soon as Don Pardo said 1971, I guessed it'd be this one.

Nixon talking to Alexander Haig.

A while back we were talking about the Saturday Night Massacre, and you guys were right that Bork was the ultimate hatchet man, but Haig was the one who told Nixon not too worry, he'd see that it got done.

As Dave has pointed out (and may well say again today): when James starts to sing about food, it's time to turn the 45 over for "Part 2".

OK if that 7-11 commercial is dave's idea of "hip", well... I'm speechless.

So your gonna archive it, right?

That being said, and with today being the last of the month, I am in the process of updating the Db to include the last 2 months as well as the several dozen sets that Urth had in his archives that weren't already in my Db.  And a new feature in the Db wil be a mention in the Notes column if the set is Urth's archive.

Actually "Rutchik" -- missed an "i" in there.  Yup, dat's my name, don't wear it out!  It's Russian meaning "little hand" or "pen", from what I've heard.  Used to be the family name -- my grandfather changed his name from "Max Rutchik" to "Richard Mack".  He was a radio writer in the early part of the 20th century writing for Groucho Marx, among others.

OMGWTF! BOS4 Diana, "Remember Me" -- didn't I just recently call this a "forgotten gen" when VIP played it?  I think this is a Morey breakout.


It got my BOS vote on da replay.  The ILM Board's just recently had a spirited discussion over who has a better career body of work, Diana Ross or Donna Summer.  (It's still in debate whether to count Diana's Supremes work.)  What I really like about "Remember Me" is that Diana doesn't exhibit that all-consuming urge to make a song "hers"; she just sings the hell out of it where she needs to and gives others space where she needs to.  One of her best from the decade, along with "My Mistake" and "The Boss."

proxy Gaz BOS, "LA Goodbye"

which is a complete Narada to me, BTW -- no NYC airplay whatsoever, I'd never heard it until Dave and Bob came along.


Thanks; it'll have to share the vote with La Ross, though.  But do you know how badly I would love to produce a vocal group covering this?  If you'll allow me some hubris, I think I could do some really good things with this song.  (I have a few other songs in mind for which I feel the same way.)

So if I ever move back there, would anyone be interested in forming a '70s cover band, based in sunshine pop, trash singles, and bubblegum, called AM Gold?  It's been a backburner dream of mine for a few years now.

I would if I could actually, y'know, sing.
