Classic Rock Bottom

It is Celebrate Your Name Weeks here at Rockollections.
Rather than list yours and everybody's name and playing songs for them, I have taken the most common names of the past Two Centuries- John and Mary!
Simple as that.
Except this week, it's Ladies First.
Anybody remember a movie in the late 60's called John & Mary, with Dustin Hoffman and Mia Farrow?
It was expected to be a huge box-office hit- even made the cover of Time Magazine.
It bombed, lol!
I'm going to Mary's...I'll meet you there.
Enjoy!

Here are the links to more Mary songs, a female start this time, at Mike Pell Rockollections:

I don't think it's a thing at work.

Even I have to login to leave a comment, and I did the damn show!

Used to just go there and it would remember me.

Either they changed, or it will come back to normal.

Well, you just handled Jon about as well as can be expected...

Jon,
I don't know what to say.
Except ask, are you off you antidepressants, lol?
Thanks for...whatever that mad rant was...hahahaha,
Mike

For some reason, I can't sign in to podomatic at work, it won't let me.  I think it works fine at home, but then I have to remember to do it so I can copy/paste my comment.  I think I need to do that for the last two shows.

RJ,
A plethora eh, ok Professor, lol!
Interesting you liked this show even more than the last Mary show.
That Harry Chapin song I can definitely relate to- that's why I called him a Poet.
I don't know how often in the course of humanity this has happened, but I sure as hell know I have done it a good number of times!
I would get sloshed for about a month while hating women, then revenge bang any woman I came across.
I gave up drinking, so I had to give up broads, lol!
Hard to find a better storyteller than Harry.
Jon really, really loves Bob Seger?
Reading what he wrote I think he finally went off the deep end, lol!
I knew I would be eclectic with this show, because I played so many hits last week.
Only two you knew?
Wow, I really was deep in the music library.
Funny thing is, I thought someone would mention the Cagney tune, the Steve Miller, and particularly what would be maybe my Golden Pell winner by the Everyl Brothers.
You listen to that song, from the FIFTIES, and they are experimenting with sounds that didn't come until almost the mid-60's!
And last week nobody brought up Thomas Edison, and my brilliance for getting him into the Marys, LOL!
It's Wadsworth Mansion by the way.
We have talked about Gordon Lightfoot before and that album is one of his best- with a particular favorit of mine being the title track, Did She Mention My Name.
I've only ever played it once on the show.
ALL early Gordon Lightfoot is GREAT Gordon Lightfoot!
The Golden Pell to Sam Cooke.
I can't complain about that choice, it's a good one.
I don't think Sam Cooke ever sang a bad song, they were all winners, lol!
And hey, what happened at Podomatic? Man you gotta sign in to leave a comment?
A pain in the ass!
Thanks for the listen and writing bro,
Mike

I didn't like anything here at all. I don't like Mary anymore. I have all these songs but have scratched them off the CD's so I never have to listen to them ever again. 

B&W movies are stupid. I never watch them. What's the point? They had color back then so making movies b&w is just a waste of my time. Never have watched one, never will.

The Gordon Lightfoot and Harry Chapin songs were great, even though I don't like them. Too bad I'll never hear them again on my CD's. Bob Seger is the greatest ever but I don't like him, but like him a lot. Have every album and thing they're the greatest but don't like them at all. 

Rick Nelson did that garden party song. I don't like that song. I didn't like this song either. That garden party song is really good, but I don't like it. 

Oh the hell with it. I don't like nuthin'.

I think I liked this show even more than the last Mary show.  There was a plethora of material from which to choose a Golden Pell winner.

One song that won't win but I really wanna mention was If My Mary Were Here by Harry Chapin.  That song tells a great story.  How often in the course of humanity do you reckon this has happened.  I'm drunk so I'm calling an old girlfriend to talk about how my most recent girlfriend has left me.  Great lyrical story there.

And I'm so glad you played a Bob Seger tune...you know, Jon really, really loves Bob Seger.  So good for Jon.

I believe the Bob Seger song and Hello Marylou by Rick Nelson were the only two songs I've heard before.

And finally, the fight for the Golden Pell.  Originally, it was going to Sam Cooke.  I dig that song and I love the vocal and background vocals.  Awesome.  But then, along comes Dadsworth Mansion (or something like that) and Gordon Lightfoot.  Why do I not have a bunch of Gordo in my collection?  I'm going to the record store Saturday and I'm gonna see what I can find.  It was a tough, tough decision, but I'm giving the GP to...

Sam Cooke.  It's just such a great song, it has to be a winner.

Yessir.

Is that Supertramp?

Comment by RJhog (Admin) on March 18, 2013 at 7:57am

"Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane/Will we ever, meet again"...heard this yesterday.  Also heard a song with the name John in it, but can't remember what it was.
