BOS1 to Edwin Starr's ever timely message (and I've lately been really digging his soundalike follow-up, "Stop the War Now"); BOS2 to the Grass Roots' "Temptation Eyes."  I love it when the drums hit hard on all four beats.

BOS2 for the relative novelty of hearing S&G's "BOTW" at 8am.

Indeed. His solo stuff (especially 1973's Angel Clare) is worth exploring.

I'm "Glad" to BOS3 Traffic.

ha!  I don't  know this song, so when I read "PG&E" I thought, "oh man - what's THAT acronym mean?" turns out it means what I think it means. Sometimes Mike's shorthand isn't shorthand at all. 

But what a good song..  I know I've heard it before, but they just don't make them like that any more. ... Well, I'm sure they make them, but you have to go to church to hear them or tune into some gospel stations.

OMGWTF!  BOS6 Leon Russell's orig "Song For You", covered by a gazillion others.

"A Song for You" is marvy songwriting, but I can't help cringing at Leon Russell's mortifyingly bad vocal effort.

some of Sonia Dada's first CD reminded me of PG&E's vocalizing.

compared to Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia!, this is Pavarotti. ;)

Love the one yer with -- esp if her name is Scarlett Jo.  VHM Mr Stills -- I still(s) prefer the Isley's cover.

a total mondegreen. But as Paul McCartney once sang, "My glove does it good"!

Bob does nice work on the Drive's 10@10, esp in the '60s & '70s. His '80s sets can be album-rock crapfests (not as much pop or New Wave as we get from Dave) but occasionally he'll surprise us.

Glad you enjoyed!  (Shouldn't it have been a hawk flying with the dove?  Guess that word doesn't scan as well.)
