Some interesting songs on the British charts, Top Twenty:

ANGEL FACE-- GLITTER BAND
REMEMBER ME THIS WAY-- GARY GLITTER-- What's all this glitter stuff?

BILLY DON'T BE A HERO-- PAPER LACE-- Their US hit "The Night Chicago Died" went to #1 in August. Still wondering where Chicago's East Side is, though. Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods had a hit with "Billy" in the US.

SEVEN DAYS OF RHYE-- QUEEN-- Was this the "Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen?
WATERLOO-- ABBA-- Was this their first Top Twenty?

ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK-- BILL HALEY & HIS COMETS-- Who'd have figured they'd be back all these years later.

Thought for the Day: There's always a lot to be thankful for. For example, I am sitting here thinking about how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
