Never quite understood the hatred for "Squeeze Box", but OTOH I'm a bit tired of it lately.  Nice seg from the 'oo to EJ's "Pinball Wizard, tho'...

EJ's PW gets a BOS. 

thanks to EJ's Tommy getup and his real-life fame and general sartorial splendid weirdness,  I used to fantasize how utterly fabulous being a rockstar would be. I saw myself as The Star playing awesome keyboards to stadia full of other fifth graders who adored me.

I'd see myself w mechanical elevator shoes: I could press a button and they would boost me up to about 20 feet tall.  That's the kind of thing EJ made me think about..!

Damn, sorry I couldn't wake up for that one.  (As my nightshift schedule gets more ingrained, I find myself more frequently not getting to bed till 5 and sleeping till 12.)

Katrina though it may be, it's always at least a co-BOS for me since I so closely empathize with the song's bitterness toward a too-small hometown.

And a candidate for "Shouldabeen" lists: despite following up the #3 "Miracles," it peaked at only #45.  No idea why; it's the most poppy and radio-friendly thing Grace ever created, and it's less than a stone's throw from Carole King's work of the period.
