Bill's Notes

Another gay video of a great song: I mean, just how bad did you have to tart it up in the 70s. Worse, they splice three versions of the song together. Doesn't really work. But it's a great song, and I once met the keyboardist, Eddie something, in a music studio in New York.



There isn't a better version on YouTube, though there's a Harry Potter version, which doesn't permit an embed.

YouTube is the ultimate collection of bootlegs. How is this stuff legal?

Now, to a misunderstanding. I was once explaining to an ex-girlfriend about Al Green, and that his song "Let's Stay Together" was, well, super-smooth and one of the great 70s song. She said, "Didn't Brian Ferry [of Roxy Music] do that?" Um, no, I said, that's Let's Stick Together, which is whole 'nuther thing. Dem kids. We didn't stay together.



Golly, this video is from TV's Midnight Special. It was on too late for me to stay up. Yes, I was just a kid in the 70s.

Another funny misunderstanding. I downloaded on Napster what I thought was a pretty obscure song, Alone Again Or, by a pretty obscure 60s band called Love. \



She recognized the song, but not the band. She thought it done by The Damned.



Heck, at this point, both versions are from the Last Century. Still trying to work my way into this century, but I keep getting pulled further and further into the past. And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past ...
