BOS to "Fresh Air."  What an odd, vacuum-sealed, spooky production.

nothing like macho rockers singin' about a "Mississippi Queen".

BOS2 J-5. "You and I must make a pack" A pack of what, MJ? Cigarettes? gum?

The B-side of that, "One More Chance," was what I was listening to at the gym when a friend texted me the MJ news.

BOS2 to "Indiana Wants Me," which I used to hear a lot in the middle of the night on 3WS growing up.  I have a mix tape somewhere where the Four Seasons' "Tell It to the Rain" precedes this, and Frankie's ending wails blend into the sirens *perfectly*.  One of my favorite mix-tape happy accidents.

Oh. My GAWD! a Motown twin-spin gives us occasional J-5 collaborator R. Dean Taylor and cheeze for breakfast.  BOS3 "Indiana wants Me".

I've said this before, I'm sure, but I was on a bus listening to a tinny, tiny transistor radio the first time I heard "IWM" and I assumed it was Simon & Garfunkel.

From Mississippi queens to London trannies -- Kinks do the unnecessary "Lola".

I never thought about this before but wow this is spot on.  I think I have today's BIBT entry here.  (Only rarely do I plan my blog posts a day or more in advance.)

It made perfect sense to me at the time (late August of '70).  I owned the S&G "Bridge..." LP; "Cecelia" was on its way down and "El Condor Pasa" was not yet a 45, so i figured it was something new.

Wow, Bob goes for an Annalisa trifecta with the BeeGees.  What were the odds?

"truckin, like a doo-dah man". er, whaa?

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Up Around the Bend 
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush 
Quicksilver Messenger Service - Fresh Air 
Mountain - Mississippi Queen 
Jackson 5 - I'll Be There 
R. Dean Taylor - Indiana Wants Me 
Kinks - Lola 
Bee Gees - Lonely Days 
Sly & the Family Stone - Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin)

Bob's intern misspelled Creedence as "creerdence" but got the parenthetical Sly title correct. Go figure.
