Kim and Chris are talking about the year they graduated HS. My year was 1977.

Lots of crappy damned music that year. A couple good songs, too.

ELO- Telephone line.
Eagles. Hotel California.
MTB- Heard it in a love song
Sanford Townshend Band- Smoke from a Distant Fire

The rest are so damned horrid, for the most part, with a lot of bubblegum crap by Babs Streisand and KC and the Sunshine Band, i won’t copy the list here.

There were a BUNCH of good albums.

Exodus – Bob Marley & The Wailers
Police & Thieves – Junior Murvin
My Aim Is True – Elvis Costello
Rumours – Fleetwood Mac
Talking Heads: 77 – Talking Heads
Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols – The Sex Pistols
Rough Mix – Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane
The Stranger – Billy Joel
Animals – Pink Floyd
Aja – Steely Dan
Slowhand – Eric Clapton
Bat Out Of Hell – Meat Loaf

I listen to some of those songs today, think of the memories they bring back.

I’m happy to have survived that time. I wish some of those musicians were still there, still writing. Toy caldwell of MTB- that boy could sing and write and play a song.

if you’re a hillbilly, if you’re a redneck, you hear his music, and you grok it’s fullness.
heard it in a love song is my favorite.
Fire on the Mountain.
This old cowboy

Toy Caldwell died in 1993.

Damn. Enough navel gazing, This is why I hate memes.

Eating Gyros and farting in a steamy hot shower is NOT a good idea.

Man, I nearly chewed my leg off getting out of there.

she’s back.
