Post by: Tinka Cat on May 01, 2009, 07:22:14 AM: Southside Johnny I Don't Want To Go Home. I don't like his voice, but the production is pretty good on this one.

It's followed by Stevie Wonder's Knocks Me Off My Feet. nice!

(So far, none of the usual suspects have checked in for this set...)

Post by: Tinka Cat on May 01, 2009, 07:40:51 AM: stream keeps scrapping out, but I heard a snippet of Quincy, M.E. in there. OMG, that show was pretty crappy at times. I can't believe it began in 76.... Did anyone ever see the famous "Punk Rock" episode from 82? Where Quincy and the concerned soccer moms get all freaked at the youth of today destroying themselves in the punk scene?

Dang me, that probably IS the best '76 set evah. And much as I love (DF)TR, I have to agree that something else off of Agents of Fortune woulda been better, especially ETI (which is an Alison, btw).

Belated BOS from me. I've been singing that chorus around the house a lot lately. Another full-blown unrequited-love situation, first time I've fallen for someone in years.

PS: BOC's "This Ain't the Summer of Love" was the subject of a presentation at the panel I moderated at last year's EMP Pop Conference.
