But '73 is still MIA since January, no?

BOS LOL ROTFLSHIPMP!!!!

"Because they're Germans!  You have to swear at Germans."

ETA - Dave & I just had the following exchange:

Me:  Dave, I am eight 8ths German, I'm more German than most of the people living in Germany today & I gotta say that is the funniest damn thing I have ever heard.

Dave:  Ya gotta love Archie Bunker.

BOS #3 Steelers Wheel - "Star"

nice segue from Tania.

Title: 30 March '06 - it's 1974
Post by: RGMike on March 30, 2006, 10:18:22 AM

ah, Stealer's Wheel, "Star", a personal fave back in the day, tho' Dave leans on it a bit much. I'd prefer the variation on this theme, "So You Are a Star" by the Hudson Bros. But VHM anyway.

Nice movie clip, too--Chinatown, I believe. Nicholson was shit-hot back in the 70s.

And now Stevie? Heaven is Ten Thousand Light Years Away.

ETA: Or however many lightyears, a whole shitload of lightyears, to say the least.

KFOG goes to the moives: Chinatown.  Maybe the Best Movie of the 70's, it sez so right here.  I'll take it over the Godfathers about every other day.

Sorry, the Godfathers are *IT* for me. But Chinatown is certainly in my top 5 of the decade.

"I'm the Slime". And so is Bill O'Reilly.

Let's get this straight:

Bill O'Reilly = Horse's Ass.  Anyone who takes him seriously deserves what they get, BUT he tells you straight up where he's coming from & anyway he's an employee of Fox News. So you come forewarned.  (cf Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity & Dennis Miller version 2.0)

Tom DeLay = Slime.  He is as sleazy & devious & self-interested as it gets, but all in the name of some larger entity that he claims to represent.  You should know better, but some true believers suckers are taken in. (cf. Dennis Hastert, the CEO of GM, Condi Rice)
 
Pat Robertson = Anti-christ.  Puts on the best public face, claims the moral highground, says if you don't believe him you are to be condemned/hanged for treason.  In fact is the devil's minion & is wreaking wide swaths of destruction in the name of a higher power.  (cf. Dr. James Dobson, Rev. Jerry Falwell, George W. Bush)

that would be Ur-YachtRock. This was a HUGE fave on our FM prog rocker, WNEW-FM, which had several wimpy deejays who worshipped country-rock of the Poco type.

Yay! "Beach Baby" -- we NEED some sun already!

on the orig LP, presumably. The radio version was the edit you most often hear.  But I think I have the long version at home.

Trivia regarding the TOTHC:  George McRae was one of 7 artists to top the charts from 1964-89 with a song beginning with the word 'Rock', and 3 out of 7 were in 1974 (also Andy Kim "Rock Me Gently" & Hues Corp. "Rock The Boat").   1974 would've claimed 4 out of 7 if the original of "Rock On" had made it to #1 instead of Michael Damian's 1989 cover, but David Essex could only manage #5.

Can you name the remaining 3?

You can get it from me, the five-minute version is on the "AM Top Twenty" cornball comp I have.

Faboo set, will catch the reply if I'm still up, but I will note that "Ride the Tiger" appeared exactly once before to my knowledge: I am rather certain it was a Top O' The Hour Cooker once while I was still a Schwabbie.  And yes, it's downright pathetic that I should say that with any certainty at all.

I really feel like we've had this conversation recently.  Has anyone done the scan recently for this song?
