Oooh ooh can I have this One Blood song? I'm sorry I missed more of this set.

Goodnight, boxer. Good show, but I must say the block of reggae covers of top 40 songs was getting weird. Bread?!? Paul Revere & the Raiders?!?

As you well know, wendell, the '70s were a weird, weird decade. (Also, sometimes these reggae covers remind me that, even though I'm sick of the original after hearing it once a week on bad soft-rock/oldies radio stations for my entire life, the bland, insipid originals are also good pop songwriting.)

And here ya go, Eide.
