Starting with Jimmy Carter entering the presidency doesn't make this terribly challenging, does it?

Not if you have any memory for US History.

Wonder if Dave made a last minute change in the year when Fogelberg's death was announced.

Jeez, how quickly we forget. Or me, anyway.

Anyone else think they've bumped up the reverb on Carry On Wayward Son in the same way several ZZ Top tracks have been sweetened?

Carry On, a major flashback from the winter of 1977.  My best friend John Harrison & I cut out of school as fast as we could one day, caught a bus, transferred to the Hampton Blvd line, and got out at the newly opened Peaches Records (kind of a midwestern Tower).  I remember it was bitterly cold, hopping over puddles of slush and dirty snow and trying not to slip on black ice.  I only had enough money for one LP, and this was the one I got.
