I was fine for 2 hours and then they went to, er, sh*t.  So I switcherd to WLNG in time for the uncensored version ("one HELL of a man") of "Big Bad John". Almost nobody plays that version.

ah, the CG Jukebox: nothin' like a segue from Crazy World of Arthur Brown, "Fire"... to Andy Williams, "Music to Watch Girls By".  LOL!

ETA: and here's the Proclaimers' "Letter From America", as wonderful as "500 Miles" and completely unknown in the US.

WLNG oddity of the day: the 45 single version of Zep's "Whole Lotta Love", which I probably haven't heard since 1970.

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: Petula Clark, "Who Am I?"  Haven't heard that since it was a hit.

Greg sounds pre-recorded today; none of his lengthy asides (which I happen to love) and playing mostly obvious "hits".  But a fine mix nonetheless.

oo! Isleys, "Behind a Painted Smile" from their brief stay at Motown.  All their Motown stuff sounds like it was written for Levi Stubbs.

ETA: "Nothin' Goin' On but the Rent"! Gots to have a J-O-B, baby!
