Watched the first part of PCU with Jeremy Piven a couple of days ago for fun. They should relabel that movie from Comedy to Documentary. What goes on in that movie is literally what goes on in college campuses today.

Heh. My husband is youtubing sounds of the seventies now. Every night. Too loud.
So, here's the thing: I have tinnitus, and music and television exacerbate it. And, I've been tired of the sounds of the seventies since, like, 1978. He doesn't get it that it physically makes my ears hurt. I just want to go to another room. Posted by: April at May 10, 2017 08:01 PM (e8PP1) 42

K-BILLY'S Super Sounds of the Seventies continues. We just heard "The World is a Ghetto" by War, and "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Bo Donaldson and the Haywoods. And if you're the twelfth caller you'll win two tickets to the monster truck extravaganza being held tonight at the Carson Fairgrounds, featuring "Big Daddy" Don Bodein's truck 'The Bohemiath'. The twelfth caller wins on the station where the seventies survived...K-B-I-L-L-Y.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at May 10, 2017 08:02 PM (mbhDw) Old Loves Die Hard is great too. They brought in Barry Palmer to replace Helmut Kollen after he left to make a solo album and then he died from carbon monoxide poisoning while listening to the tracks in his car in the garage while it was running. Stupid! Helmut was great on bass and vocals though. Palmer was good, but they went on a downward spiral from which they never recovered after Kollen died.

i think it's worth reiterating that the story you have no doubt learned, that custer and his brigade came upon stuart's division flanking the union lines on the third day of gettysburg and he rashly charged routing the far larger force. it didn't happen that way.
the engagement at the "east cavalry field" (available at wikipedia) was morse complex than that. it was mostly fought by dismounted cavalry with skirmishing lines and artillery (!), flanking movements, as well as cavalry charges. twice custer charged oncoming confederates at the direction of his commander, gregg. they were dramatic clashes that blunted stuart's advance, but only as part of a larger tactical defensive scheme. check out the wiki entry. it's interesting.

I Kept on Loving You, by the Carpenters 7. Everybody Plays the Fool, by the Main Ingredient 8. The Time Has Come, by Bridey Murphy 9. Love Will Keep Us Together, by Captain & Tenille 10. Carolina in My Mind (1976 version), by James Taylor Keep in kind this list is EXCLUSIVELY about "smooth" or "soft rock" songs -- not about the "best" songs in general.

The crooks down in Columbia passed a big gas tax increase -- nothing but bullshit. Claimed the public was clamoring for it. It's for the roads. They is gonna fix 'em. Yeah, right. They are fixing the road in front of my house here. Resurfacing it. The outfit doing is of course owned by one of the relatives of a local politician. What the hell they're doing, I don't know. They're making a lot of racket, and have been for the last month, but they aren't anywhere near finished. I don't much about road equipment, but after seeing a parade of I don't how many $millions worth of equipment parading up and down, I got interested. They're using a "reclaimer". This is a YUGE contraption that chews up the old asphalt, and digs into the dirt below and mixes it up, spewing out what looks like loose dirt behind. They then roll it. They have a tanker truck running in front of the reclaimer with a big tank of some green solution that is sprayed into the mix as it's chewing everything up. That thing makes the god-awfulest racket you've ever heard. There's a lot of rock underground here and my god, it rattled the cages all over the place. I thought the windows were going to shatter. Anyway, they've been working on this, oh 3 - 4 mile stretch of road for over a month, and it looks like it's going to be a mess. They've washboarded it. After the reclaimer and rolling and rolling, and doing a bunch of other crap, some hellacious washboarding developed in some spots. They're going to spend god knows how much money on it, and it's going to be nothing but a fuck up, I'm sure. Posted by: publius(not Breitbart publius) at May 10, 2017 08:20 PM (8O3HH) 196

163 The 10 best "smooth sounds of the '70s" songs (and since I have the world's best non-subjective musical taste, this list is definitive):
1. Dancing in the Moonlight, by King Harvest 2. Clair, by Gilbert O'Sullivan 3. Funny Funny, by Sweet 4. Down by the River, by Albert Hammond 5. Time in a Bottle, by Jim Croce 6. I Kept on Loving You, by the Carpenters 7. Everybody Plays the Fool, by the Main Ingredient 8. The Time Has Come, by Bridey Murphy 9. Love Will Keep Us Together, by Captain & Tenille 10. Carolina in My Mind (1976 version), by James Taylor Keep in kind this list is EXCLUSIVELY about "smooth" or "soft rock" songs -- not about the "best" songs in general. Usually, I hate "soft rock," but these ones -- the best of the genre! Posted by: zombie at May 10, 2017 08:16 PM (DQ4Fv) Good list, but no America? They practically defined soft rock for awhile. I'm not crazy about them, but they were very very popular at the time. Posted by: rickl at May 10, 2017 08:22 PM (sdi6R) 213

Worst songs of the 1970?
1. Having My Baby This song makes me want to smash Paul Ankas face AND make sure he cannot father children. EVER. 2. If I Were A Carpenter No, I would not marry you, in fact, I won't even let you into the house, I'll just talk to you through the screen until your supervisor shows up. No, you can't use my bathroom. - See the tree, how big it's grown? Bobby Goldboro's Honey Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks and You're Not at May 10, 2017 08:22 PM (Nwg0u) 215

one of my favorite seventies-song anecdotes is that the record label wouldn't let Nazareth call the song "Son of a Bitch" so they called it "Hair of the Dog," but the idea they intended was HEIR of the Dog (that is, son of a bitch).
I thought that was clever. Posted by: ace at May 10, 2017 08:35 PM (8rNrN) 315

on amazon alexa you can't have it set to shuffle, I don't think. You can say "Shuffle," then it does, but usually the first song has started playing and is not shuffled. For a while, the first semi-beats of Immigrant Song and then "Alexa, Shuffle" and "Alexa, Skip" were daily things for me.

The Wrecking Crew.
If you liked the movie, do read the book. Lots of funny anecdotes. Like about the time they were in the studio and a cop told them to move their cars or get ticketed. Then he proceeded to lecture them about "getting real jobs". The musicians were likely pulling down 200 times what the cop was making. ![]() Posted by: navybrat at May 10, 2017 08:38 PM (w7KSn) 340

Firefall - not one damn mention of them. Y'all are sad, sad people. Some perspicacious fellow mentioned Karla Bonoff earlier in the thread!!! Now we're talkin'. Tumbled on to her through Linda Ronstadt's Hasten Down The Wind . Karla, Wendy Waldman and Linda did the backup vocals on a number of songs, most notably If He's Ever Near. They were affectionately called "The Orgasm Chorus" by those who lived in our house. Anyhow, I've a HUUUUGEEEEE crush on Karla. I had a chance to see her at a show in NYC at The Bottom Line 1978/79.

Some of the smoothest, easy listening music ever was on the jazzy albums by Barry Manilow, "Swing Street" (no smart remarks, now) and especially "Paradise Café". Then I realized they were released in the mid-80s. Sigh, at my age these distant decades tend to blend together.

For years he thought he was Liv Tyler's father until a genetic test proved that Steve Tyler was the father. Oops.

Al Stewart's most popular album, "Year of the Cat" was around 1976 or so. That's one of those albums where every song on it is great.
He's released around 20 albums over the years starting in the late 60s, but none of them had that level of success. He's still touring, and if you haven't seen him live, you're missing out. Posted by: rickl at May 10, 2017 09:18 PM (sdi6R) 631

before "the people" get tired of the intrigue and just tune in to comedy shows (designed to mislead/dis-inform/mis-inform)? well the number was long ago reached for a passive population, but when those people are put under duress, they are forced to make real evaluations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to make it clear that he had nothing to do with President Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, who was leading the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. 'Don't be angry with me. We have nothing to do with that,' Putin said to CBS News' Elizabeth Palmer, through his press aide Dmitry Peskov, who was translating. The Russian leader also noted that, 'Your question looks very funny for me.' By the way, shouldn't there be an "alleged" before the word "Russian" in this phrase "investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election."

Color My World
Posted by: Very Irredeemably Undude at May 10, 2017 09:22 PM (2X7pN) Played at every wedding for at least a decade. And poor Terry Kath is just terribly off key at the end. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at May 10, 2017 09:23 PM (mbhDw) True Story: Kath hated the song and didn't want to sing it. The rest of the band took him out to a restaurant, got him smashed, then dragged him back to the studio where he was too loaded to refuse to sing the song. I'm a huge Kath fan. He's usually spot on with his vocals but slipped there. I played keyboards for a band that was big in the Dallas area in the mid-to-late seventies. I bet I've played Colour My World more than Robert Lamm. I remember a huge quincinciera where we played the song for probably an hour.

Sefton at May 10, 2017 09:42 PM (mbhDw) Yep. Plus he battled drugs, alcohol, and depression. I last saw him in November 1977 in Dallas. I think that was his second-to-last live performance. I first saw them at the Hemisfair in San Antonio during the summer of 1968. Without my parents. Kids today would never understand how much freedom we had as children.

Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best I wonder if she'll ever do the same Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied With knowin' I got no one left to blame Carefree Highway I've got to see you, my old flame Carefree Highway You've seen better days The mornin'-after blues, from my head down to my shoes Carefree Highway Let me slip away, slip away on you.
