Do me a favor: Tell Martin Luther we're not inviting him over anymore if he won't quit hanging shit on the door!

T'aint no big thing to give VHM to Roxy, even if BF's voice is at its least sexy here (indeed, he sounds more like D Byrne on this track to my ears).

If "Takin' It to the Streets" can withstand butcherings by Taylor Hicks and the team of Tom Jones & Teddy Pendergrass, it must be a classic.

Oh, wait: It couldn't.  Never mind.

Who'd'a thunk this guy would end up duetting with Grace Slick?

BTW, I saw the Patti Smith interview in the 40th anniv Rolling Stone issue -- she has much praise for ol' Grace.

I would have expected "Philadelphia Freedom" rather than "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" after the bicentennial festivities.  But this is fun to hear, still.

BOS EJ & KD, a fab pop confection that didn't belong in Dave's HFH set.  Elton should re-do this as a duet with David Hyde-Pierce.
