Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

What Were You Doing April 8, 1970?-- Part 5

LOVE GROWS WHERE MY ROSEMARY GOES-- EDISON LIGHTHOUSE-- Their one hit in the U.S.
INSTANT KARMA-- JOHN LENNON-- (And we all shine on.)

COME AND GET IT-- BADFINGER-- Sure sounds like the Beatles. Paul wrote it and produced it. Their first hit (I sure thought it was the Beatles singing. I also at first thought the Bee Gees were the Beatles back in the 60s.)
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER-- SIMON AND GARFUNKEL-- Their legendary classic song out on album and 45. (This one always reminds me of the political unrest of the Vietnam War.)

AMERICAN WOMAN-- GUESS WHO-- The "A" side of their two-sided hit. (Actually with the intro to this one and the two songs on the flipside "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" it was like getting an EP with four songs.)
VEHICLE-- IDES OF MARCH-- Here's that band from Berwyn (Illinois).

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN-- FRIGID PINK-- Six years after most of us had heard the song done up by the Animals, it was back around again, this time by a Detroit band. (And done a WHOLE lot differently.)

LET IT BE-- BEATLES--The number 1 song in Chicago 42 years ago.

Was That a Canadian Slam Against the U.S.? --RoadDog
