RIP, half of England Dan & John Ford Coley

Wow, innocent good times. Whereas I was strumin' of "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" as an innocent adolescent in the '70s, I shudder to think what the adolescents in my neighborhood are strumin' to nowadays. Sad really. I only hope my boys don't grow up for a long time.

 

I'm a co-plaintiff with Denis Leary in his class action suit against soft-rockers from the '70s. Kenny Loggins (first concert), Robbie Dupree, Michael Martin Murphy, James Taylor, Fogelberg, Michael McDonald. I am a complete pussy.

 

"Stevie Ray Vaughn is dead, and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi onto a helicopter?"

 

"John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest, Yoko Ono was standing right next to him, not ONE FUCKING BULLET! Explain that to me, God!"

 

Gotta get the Little River Band and Air Supply in there too.

 

PLAY REMINISCING!!!!

 

Why all this distaste for music that actually had melody?

 

Man, that is one cool fucking song. God, do I wish I was 20 in 1978. I so would have tried to score to that.

 

Boy, I haven't seen that in years.

Gotta throw Al Stewart in here too.

 

I graduated high school in 1978. Wore the grooves out on that album. I think I have that song on three different Little River Band CDs now.

 

It's due for a cover version. You can try to score to that.
