Actually, watch the movie, it is really good. The ending always gets to me. Plus, you get to see Beverly D'Angelo nekkid. It's also interesting to spot some of the bit players in there, some of them went on to kind of succesful careers.
Those first two songs are really "out there". Not bad, just kinda wacky to me.
But how 'bout that Chuck Berry? That dude can do more with the exact same guitar solo on every single song than many guys can do with totally different solos. This is where my Golden Pell goes. I can't give it to Ray Charles for the closer 'cause I've heard that song before, and the GP's only go to songs that are new to me. It almost went to Living In America by Aztec Twostep or something like that. It was a tough decision.
And the great Archie Bunker. How in the world did that show make it on network TV back then? I'm really glad it did, 'cause he is one of the great all-time American characters (I'll throw Andy Taylor and Barney Fife right in there with him). How could the folks filming this not just die laughing? His interaction with Rob Reiner is so incredible. And he should get a nod himself, 'cause he plays his character better than anyone else could as well. I loved that show. Again, this actually would have gotten my GP if I had never seen or heard it, but I have.
No, Jon did not post wrong. HA!
And that first song...I couldn't figure out WHAT was going on with his voice, but Scott hit it on the head. It's the cowardly lion!!!
And everytime I hear The Fifth Dimension, I always think of Hair. Probbaly my favorite musical of all time (the movie, never saw the play).
Except for that first song, this was fine. Mighty fine indeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!
Two in a row? Must be a record for me! Its a slow week at work with a lot of people out so I get to listen to music and your shows while I catch up on email from being on vacation! Its a rough life but someones gotta do it!
Whoa! Is that the Lion from the Wizard of Oz singing?
Did Jon comment on the wrong show? Because I clearly heard the reference to Hell in the first song of this show and not the first one in the series. Just curious, because if he did, we can use it against him for at least 2-3 months.
Gotta say I love the little "pops" in the vinyl that I hear! Such great memories! But this tune sounds a little flat, sort of monotone in its vocals. Cool that they sing the Document though they could've used the Neil Young distorted geetar touch! hahahaha. (I kid)
That All in the Family clip is priceless!!
Nice touch with Ray Charles closing! And that's the Golden Pell!
Ciao!!
