Post by: RGMike on October 24, 2008, 08:04:11 AM
Summer of '69 in '85, as usual. Not an auspicious start.

another WOS for .. you know.. CRAPTON!

ETA: I'm guessing the title is "See What Love Can Do."  Maybe it can change the station?

I saw John Fogerty play this in '91 (?) at the Golden Gate Park Polo fields in the tribute to the departed Bill Graham, and I found that I *liked* hearing it!  John put on a good show, and I believe the Dead -- who also played there that day -- were his backing band that day.   do I have that right?  anyone recall?

anyway, HM for a song we hear all the time, which I originally didn't care for, but then I came me to like.  Plus, it's about baseball....

One of the great bungled lyrics of the decade:

"You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep"

wouldn't "you're in heat" have made more sense, and also rhymed better, than "you're in deep"?

I see your point, but I get the deep addiction thing, too.  "You're in heat" sounds very primal, too. 

They prob thought of that one, but I but it didn't poll (pole?) well.

Someone at the label probably thought that lyric was a step too far.  Just like with "867-5309": "Jenny Jenny, you're the girl for me / You don't know me, but you make me so happy" - I'm sure that last word was at some point supposed to be horny.

PS: Tinka, thanks for adding dik-dik to my vocabulary!

That sounds right to me. I think the Dead backed CSNY for a song or two as well.
