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

Top Songs in Chicago: Feb. 8, 1976

Bob Stroud usually skips five years on his monthly time warps, but on Feb. 8th, he jumped ten years into the future. Definitely some good stuff. Again, since I didn't hear it, these are my comments.

BAD BLOOD-- Neil Sedaka-- definitely back.
EVIL WOMAN-- ELO-- what a sound
SQUEEZE BOX-- Who-- X-rated rock. Was it an accordion or something else?
MY LITTLE TOWN-- Simon & Garfunkel-- brief reunion
TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT-- Eagles-- early in their career.

DECEMBER 1963 (OH WHAT A NIGHT)-- Four Seasons
DREAM ON-- Aerosmith-- first really big hit by the Glimmer Twins.
OVER MY HEAD-- Fleetwood Mac-- going in a different direction from early days of group.
FOX ON THE RUN-- Sweet-- great party band
SATURDAY NIGHT-- Bay City Rollers-- dig that tartan. Can anybody spell Saturday and yell Night?

GOLDEN YEARS-- David Bowie
YOU SEXY THING-- Hot Chocolate-- some really different music
DREAM WEAVER-- Gary Wright
SKY HIGH-- Jigsaw
ISLAND GIRL-- Elton John

SING A SONG-- Earth, Wind & Fire
LOVE HURTS-- Nazareth-- way too sad.
WHO LOVES YOU-- Four Seasons-- Anybody got a lollipop?
ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT-- Kiss-- the Kiss Army strikes. Always thought it was a good thing it was the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show back in 1964, rather than these interesting lads. Just imagine what would have happened if our parents had seen these guys. The emergency rooms would have been overflowing.
50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER-- Paul Simon-- Number 1 song in town.

Don't Come Back, Jack. --RoadDog
