Mystery Year for Friday-1970

Almost Cut My Hair

silly I know, but I love this song.  It instantly flashes me back to Isla Vista, where you didn't need to own this, it wafted out of every student's apartment window.

[Gazoo]

I'm totally with you on this one Beej.

Thanks, man! Your mind is not for rent to any God or government.

it begs the question, though: what is it about Canada that makes men sing so high?

It balances out Gordon Lightfoot.

Sure, when Neil sings falsetto-y, it's great. But if Getty Lee does it? RUSH sucks.

Double-standard!


Neil's whine = the pain of human suffering
Geddy's whine = the ability to communicate with dogs

HEH, HEH!  :lol:

[Beej]

We know Mark is from St. Louis, so that might explain his Rush predeliction, but where'd you get exposed Beej?

Fair Oaks, CA. It's a suburb of Sacramento. Freshman year in high school.

WHOA - I really think "Almost Cut My Hair" is a 10@10 breakout.  Wasn't this snipped from A to Z?

Yes, it sure was.  So instead of a possible George/Beatles pairing we get a Neil/CSNY pairing.  Veddy interesting.

don't know about A to Z, but I'm pretty sure we've heard it in a 10@10 set before. Been a while though.

You all realize, of course, that the more you argue that RUSH sucks- the more I'll say I love it just to spite you.

XXXAAAA-NNNNNAAAAAAAA-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Veddy interesting.

as opposed to "Geddy, interesting"

OK I'll stop now :wink:

As another with roots in Sacburg, I suspected as much. Rush was big in Sacto--they used to come thru and play Memorial Aud almost every year from the mid-70s on, until they got too big for a 4000-seater, and Sac didn't have an arena til the mid-80s.

[Beej]

LOL! RGmike, you so crazy!

[ggould]

fluff, but catchy

I actually like Xanadu. I admit it. What a rush!

My mom works at Washington Memorial in Fremont! Hi, MOM!

[RGMike]

hmmm, maybe Dave is lurking -- he played a montage to show not all Fogheads are stupid.

[Alicat]

BOS to Dave for producing such a great set. YAY 1970!!!!!!!!
