But that was a misprint. Eddie & the Hot Rods should have been famous though. "Life on the Line" rocks faces.

I named my cat after Oblio from "The Point". Well, she came pre-named, but I decided "Obi" was short for "Oblio".

I've read Whitehead's most recent book, "Sag Harbor", and really enjoyed it. Directionless but really funny novel about growing up sorta geeky. It had one of my all-time favorite passages ever in it:

I still really like "Purple America". I get this feeling that I was the only one.

These guys were briefly The Fall.
After MES fired the whole lot of treacherous lying cunts (TLC in "Reformation Post TLC" in case you were wondering) his record label hired these guys, and they recorded "RPTLC" with him I think.

I love "Silver Ships of Andilar". It's like prog-country, almost. "If I Needed You" is probably my favorite song of his, there's such a perfect simplicity to it.

Yes! I finally belong!

Where are you located? Whenever I walk into Whole Foods it's too damned noisy to hear the PA. I did hear "Telephone Operator" in an Applebee's once.

If Kid Creole had his own television show, I would watch the shit out of that.

@ Doc Brown: I do love their later stuff, regardless of what anyone else says. "State of Confusion" is awesome. They're in full meltdown mode for most of that album.

I have this feeling that I'm the only one who would pick a Kinks song from their generic late '70s period, but "Misfits" struck me a little too hard when I saw Ray Davies play it in concert earlier this year….

Considering "Don't Say Nuthin'" was pretty obviously satirical, too….

Were they playing the Palladium? All of my great Worcester concert experiences involved the Palladium. Except Link Wray, who played in the basement of the student activities center at Clark University.

It was done in tribute to Chilton, too. Reflect on that shit for a moment.

What about Worcesterites? Nobody likes us…

"Saint Dominic's Preview" is out-of-print. It's criminal. Why that's not a controversy on par with "Time Fades Away" is beyond me. (Granted, it has been reissued on CD before, but it's only available at extortionate Amazon seller's prices now.)

"It's Too Late to Stop Now", "Into the Music", and "Moondance" are the three best entry points for Van's daunting and periodically shit-strewn catalog.

Interesting. I like your take on this the best so far. I admit I didn't read the book that Emily seems to have read, but somehow even though I get the feeling that '68 revolutionary spirit part seems to have gone almost totally over my head, somehow I was hooked in to where these crazy characters were going and was…

"Edge of Seventeen" is the song you're thinking of, Totz.

@ Dwigt: Well, you're right about "Born to Be with You" at any rate. Spector and Dion at their over-the-top grandeur-iffic best.
