...at least that's what Ginger said yesterday, the year KBCO was born apparently.
-
BOS to "Estimated Prophet," as I was bummed to have missed it the other day. Not too many GD songs lodge themselves in my brain, but this is one of them.
-
BOS Townsend/Lane -- you NEVER hear this one.
ETA: at the time (fall, 1977), this LP gave Aja a run for it's money as Most Played Album on NY prog FM radio.
-
BOS Townsend/Lane -- you NEVER hear this one.
Nor do you ever hear Oh, God! Yay for George & John.

I have never seen either of the Oh God! movies. You know they're doing a remake with Ellen DeGeneres as God, right?
-
I bet you heard plenty of this album on those NY Prog stations. Another BOS for the APP.
-
That Clapton was another little-played track. Nice choices so far.
-
How is this ironic? The law DID win.
-
BOS Clash!

No, this is the first I've heard of that. I can't imagine Ellen's style of humor translating to the big screen. I'd MUCH rather see Lily Tomlin in the role. Or Alanis Morissette. (I adored Dogma.)

BAHAHAHA!!!!! He took the piss out of the Sex Pistols by putting them in a cheeze medley! I love it!
And now, an Mshray fave, "Couldn't Get It Right" in the NII-hii-hite.
-
This rocket got to roll...
yet another BOS, I have a double live album by the CBB that predates this song, adn it's really good. One of their best songs is called "I Am Constant", like Mike's tag quote.
-
Would've loved to hear that Dolly. I still say that Mann/Weill composition is a pitch-perfect hommage to Pet Clark's mid-'60s ouevre. I can totally imagine her singing it with a full Tony Hatch arrangement.
-
Thyme may love a hero, but I prefer my heroes with oregano or basil.
-
Well they say, mshray loves a hero...BOS # whatever.
Now my aunt she is sad and lonely,
She'll never know that she drove him away.
As a coward I admired his courageous ways.

Amen to that. Cass Elliott also had a love of these kinds of songs, though I'm not sure she could have summoned the vulnerability necessary for "Here You Come Again."

that gives us the 3rd M3S "constant as a northern star" reference Gaz was looking for.
BOS "Hee-woes"

and so, apparently, does this deejay subbing for Ginger. Another Hero BOS to Bowie.

well, they say morning star instead of northern star...
I am constant
As the morning star
Shines out of the sky
And I am constant
Never knowing if it's
Truth that's in your eyes,
As unchanging as the rivers flow,
But heaven knows I've tried
Rearranging different music
But still the same inside
I am constant...
I am constant
As the morning star
Shines down from above
And I am truthful
But who knows the truth
When jokers fall in love
Dust and ashes take the best of us
But what goes on before
Superficial as humanity
When people go to war
I am constant...
I am you...yes I am...

All you gotta do
Is slice some ham
And there go all my defenses...

BOS3 Karla Bonoff's version of her own "Someone To Lay Down Beside Me", also covered by Ms Ronstadt.
-
That's amazing to have found a "constant ... star" trifecta so quickly.
And a BBBOS to "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," some of the best pure songwriting I've ever heard in the singer-songwriter ouevre. Was Karla Bonoff considered part of the Canyon community?

I have to assume she was; I believe it was either Jackson Browne or Glenn Frey who turned Ronstadt on to her stuff (there were sveral Bonoff songs on Hasten Down the Wind).

Agreed that was my BOS too (what I heard of it).
Any idea what she's up to lately? Looks like her website has been abandoned--karlabonoff.com goes to one of those "buy this domain" pages.

I never knew she had a song on the Footloose sndtk. Guess she's still living off those residuals!

She played a concert in NYC in January. I wrote this preview of it for the Voice:
SATURDAY 1.21
Karla Bonoff
NY Society for Ethical Culture, 2 W 64th, 212-307-7171.
8pm, $25-$30.
Her “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me” made for a better ersatz Ronstadt than Ronstadt herself, and she went on to pen other hits for Linda, including “All My Life.” Bonoff’s a talent, albeit an unprolific one; long breaks between records rendered her forgotten. Her catalog isn’t large, but it’s good. Opener Catie Curtis is a Bostonian confessional singer-songwriter who sounds like those Canadian softies.

That's happened to me, maybe even to this domain. If for some reason your bill doesn't get paid on time, it automatically defaults to this generic type of page. I don't really see why she'd abandon it.
