One of my favorite years.

not exactly what I'd call a TOTHC: S&C sing about that (literally) blessed bird in "Hummingbird".  Don't fly 'way, fly 'way.

The Lunatic is in my head. Or maybe it's just that damn hummingbird.

Woo Hoo! "Hocus Pocus", Focus, is the locus of the set so far. And that's no Joke-us.

VHM Mr. Dillon, er, Dylan, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".  Another famously-snubbed-by-Oscar movie song.

A pretty shameless knockoff of "Your Mama Don't Dance", tho'. I didn't pick up on the shout-out to Timothy B Schmidt until years later.

"Little Timmy Schmidt has got his old man's van"

Another trip down the Yellow Brick Road.  I'll say it again: nobody realized how incredibly f---ing GAY this song was?

Nope, not Krokus. It was Mott the Hoople, on All the Young Dudes.

Speaking of whom, Ian Hunter is on a double bill with the Zombies at the Fillmo', mid-March. No telling how he's aged, but I aim to find out.

Wow, I used to see him on the Upper West Side in NYC occasionally in the early '80s -- and he looked old to me then!

I always thought it hilarious that he probably made more $$$ from Barry Manilow's cover of "Ships" than from his own LPs.
