Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Review/article on the 33 1/3 books in LA Times: [link]
Part of the beauty of the 33 1/3 series is that there's something for any fan of popular music to appreciate. The series has covered soul musicians like Dusty Springfield and James Brown and country acts such as the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. There are books for indie rock fans (Neutral Milk Hotel, Guided By Voices), hip-hop enthusiasts (Nas, A Tribe Called Quest), and Top 40 aficionados (Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen).

Because books.
The Byrds are country?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Byrds are country?
They're credited with inventing country-rock when they added Gram Parsons and then Clarence White for Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Now on my radio -- "Double Shot of My Baby's Love." Does any other song of the '60s exude so much testosterone?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
"You're Having My Baby" is 70s, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's not only 70s, it's 1974. A notoriously bad year for songs.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I see "Billy, Don't Be a Hero" is #2. I've always thought Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods got a bad rap. Their follow-up single, "Who Do You Think You Are," is a wonderful piece of pop. But "Billy" was the big hit, and it's the one everyone remembers.
And anyone who'd vote "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" as worst song of any year has no romance in their soul.
