Sounds like we all can use a Doobie fix. Everybody take out your LTR Box Set, be sure
and read the booklet and just to be safe have your entire DB catalog on hand for those
jewels not included in the set. Start with JoAnne Hartius' (sp?) and Patricia Simmons'
"Spiel." We all need a little humor. LOL!!
Out! Out! You demons of Schlock Rock, you!
Doobies Rule,
Steve
Hey, I've got the entire Have a Nice Day series (all 25 volumes) and some of that
shlock is actually not bad. You just gotta be willing to lose all your friends'
respect if they ever catch you listening to it. :) ----- Original Message -----

<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
A friend of mine sent me a 7 disc CD set called "Have a Nice Decade, the '70s Pop
Culture Box". 160 songs from the 1970s...while there are some GREAT songs in this
box ("Long Train Runnin'"," Free Bird", "Ridin' the Storm Out", & "Lady"), they
seem tremendously out of place. The box by-and-large consists of the schlock
of the 1970s..."Billy Don't Be a Hero", "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", "The
Night Chicago Died", "Kung Fu Fighting", Rhinestone Cowboy", etc...you get the
idea...
Listening to the sugary music on these CDs is enough to send you into a diabetic
coma...I mean, check out the quality lyrics of this song (which incidently WON 2
GRAMMY AWARDS):
"Started out this morning feelin' so polite I
always thought a fish could not be caught that would not bite,
but you've got some bait awaitin' and I think I might
like nibblin' a little..."
What the?!?!?!
(Note: If you can readily identify this song, are you sure you're on the correct
list serve?)
1) Thank goodness the 70s are over, but most importantly,
2) THANK GOD WE HAD THE DOOBIES AS AN ANTEDOTE TO THIS KIND OF POP SCHLOCK DURING
THE 70s!!! What did the Doobies give us? Great guitar solos (as recently described
on the list) and fantastic writing that was produced to perfection!
I'm gonna listen to the "Long Train Runnin'" box and Bob Dylan's "Bootleg Series,
Volume 1-3" all day today ta get grounded back into reality!
Whew!
