Marlo Thomas & Alan Alda warped my little mind with 70s progressive liberalism. It was released into the world the same month I was. Coincidence? I think not.
I know this album by heart but have never seen the actual TV special. There goes my next hour or so.

Captain Beefheart – “Diddy Wah Diddy”
Beefheart talks to Dick Clark on the phone, and the American Bandstand kids dance to “Diddy Wah Diddy”.
Just typing that sentence made me smile.

Deep Purple – “Child of Time (live)”
I don’t how these kids aren’t storming the stage, beating their chests and setting the studio on fire during Deep Purple’s performance of “Child in Time” in 1970.
RIP Jon Lord.
damn.

Deep Purple – “Hush”
Mark II is my favorite Deep Purple lineup, but Jon is on fire in this Mark I classic.

Night Music: Sonny Rollins and Leonard Cohen
Sonny Rollins and Leonard Cohen. The gravitas on stage could form a singularity. Luckily, they stride the edge of the event horizon with a studied nonchalance. The goosebumps on my arms and legs are so sharp they almost hurt.
That’s it for today. I’ve barely covered one season of the series, with just a toe dipped into season two. I expect I’ll dive back into the second year soon. I just can’t take anymore right now.

Night Music: Debbie Harry & Pere Ubu
Debbie Harry & Pere Ubu? This show was a treasure. Where is the Sunday Night/Night Music of today?

Night Music: Lyle Lovett & Fontella Bass
Lyle Lovett & Fontella Bass absolutely rip it up on this version of “Don’t Messup A Good Thing”. I love Lyle’s country soul.

Night Music: Squeeze
Squeeze (with a strangely missing Mr. Difford) perform a nice version of “Tempted” and resist the temptation to slap Jools in the face.
