My Favorite Year.

not exactly a TOTH "cooker": "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".  But I remember thinking it was kinda cool that it was a Top 20 at the time.

Still, still cooking with Macca "Jet", the song everyone in 6th grade thought was about me, his "...much later..." line sounds a lot like he's singing "...mark schroeder..."

another BOS to Macca, who thought the major was a lady.  Maybe he knew Desmond, Molly, and Mademoiselle Kitty.

heading into 10-way-tie territory with Paul Simon, one of the 3 or 4 LPs that got me thru '73, emotionally.

nice segue from talking about Watergate to Rhymin' Simon.

...and when I was the President, and the Congress called my name...

Were you already out by then?  I don't recall ever hearing your story.

the wonderful Dixie Hummingbirds, who sing backing vox on LMLAR, did their own version of the song in '73, and KPOO's JJ plays it occasionally.

OMG! ELP! BOS5 or 6. Seven virgins and a mule! Keep it cool!

Paging Rod for the J. Geils Band!

no no far from it.

But in '73 (in chronological order):

My Mom died
I got my first part-time job
I graduated High school
I started college.

So it's a milestone year in so many ways that just about any song from that year resonates. And Rhymin' Simon, Innervisions and For Everyman are LPs that I played endlessly.

They do when the "Thursday Artist Potrait" involves only one artist. But lately they've been splitting it between two, and then the no-streaming rule doesn't apply. So thank god for double-bills, long may they wave.

Even though Bob has not yet surprised us within anything that is not a classic Album Rock staple, this is turning into a set of greatness after the first 8 songs.

BOS #8 "Piano Man"
