Whoops, I thought that was Tune No. 1.

Bob thought Chapin was too wimpy to be a TOTHC, so he went with... Dan Fogelberg?

VHM Henley & Co., out on the border, making his first stab at political songwriting (or at least the first that I noticed).

BOS3 Mr Croce, "I'll Have To Say I Love You..." -- sweet and lovely and I don't think we've heard this on any 10@10 in ages.

uh-oh, Brenda Lee's comin' on strong...

Well, we've already had ravens and eagles, I guess a visit to the jungle isn't entirely unexpected . . .

down by the water hole, drunk every Friday.  Ah, subtle metaphor! Where would prog rock be without thee?

A lovely one, though I admit I like "Operator" and "I Got a Name" a lot better.  The latter is not surprisingly incorporated into Invincible.

You probably already know this, but the line is Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong", i.e. the song titile by Brenda Lee.  I have the MP3 of it if anyone wants to hear it someday.

God, I am so ready to quit my job.

one of the great censored singles of my youth: NYC's WABC deleted the line "I get high in the evenings sniffin' pots of glue".  a clumsy edit, to be sure, but EJ was on a roll and they didn't want to NOT play the song.

I LOVE "I Got a Name", which was written for a film (Last American Hero, with Jeff Bridges) by Gimble & Fox of "Killing Me Softly" fame. It wasn't Oscar-nommed, sadly, but they later won for "It Goes Like It Goes", from Norma Rae.
