You’re particularly harsh on this week’s crop of songs. I love “Kiss You All Over”, “Hopelessly Devoted to You”, “Love is in the Air” and “Ready to Take a Chance Again”. Absolutely hated “Hot Child in the City” for years until I heard it featured on an episode of “Sex in the City”, which gave me a new perspective. Still not wild about it, but no longer hate it like I used to.
I thought I was being generous- only 1 D and 1 F- and both I find dreadfully bad.
Kind of a bland top 40 with some standouts though.
I do like the Alicia Bridges song. Always wanted to hear a rock and roll version of it.
After that 1972 Top 40 of a couple weeks ago- it does seem kind of bland- but I agree some good ones in there too. Only 2 of them though that if they came on the radio I”d quickly change the channel.
Yes it was full of what we talked about before…well Bryan Adams type songs. Pleasant enough but I wouldn’t buy it.
off topic- I see David Freese has retired. He’d be someone for the Pirates to consider for their managing position– but he seems like a good guy I’d hate to see him suffer.
Man, I just got a great laugh out of your last line. The news took me by surprise and the Dodgers will miss him. When they needed a hit he would come through. Really him and Turner are the two I wanted to see up with people on…he was hurt a lot this year.
I wonder what his plans are…you never know. He was a coach also with the Dodger in reality.
I can see him becoming a coach- then a manager down the line- if that is what he’s interested in.
There are a lot of mellow tunes in here. And a “D” for Captain and Tenille???? You were being generous, Hans!
I don’t know what I was thinking -your right- an F!!! but the Nick Gilder song is a lot worse- creepy bad.
Agreed on Creepy Gilder!
Creepy song- and he was kind of creepy looking himself..
Yikes just went out and looked for an image of him.
off topic- it was a couple weeks ago and well I forget- what was the Carter Family doc that you saw do you remember? I just watched a PBS American Experience doc on them. Was that it?
“The Winding Stream”
Thanks I thought I had ordered that but guess I didn’t- now I have!
🙂
