Have you heard the chart music these days?
Ah Christ, mine is Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life". Fuck. At least it's not a total bummer, as it doesn't look like there was a single chart topper in '77 worth a damn. Kinda like the last 5 years...
I fucking hate that shit, btw, all that Manilow/Boone/Streisand easy listening melancholy sounding arrangement garbage. Why couldn't I have had a COOL song? Some of the #2's looked pretty good. Of course, not MY week. The week after has a Kansas tune as a #2. Not the best, but beats whatever Diana Ross schlock I have to put up with. Oh dear god.
I was just checking out the book last night at a friend's house. It's a riot.
My birth year artist is the Jackson 5. My birth song is "American Woman" by the Guess Who. My Constellations are Mustache Rock, Oh...Canada and Launching Pad.
The mustache thing is funny. I had one at TapeOpCon last year and I think I met more people because of it than anything.
Well, I also think it's a load of crap, but fun none the less. I did pretty well. The week before I was born, was
HELLO, I LOVE YOU by The Doors and PEOPLE GOT TO BE FREE by The Rascals.
The week I was born,
PEOPLE GOT TO BE FREE and Steppenwolf's BORN TO BE WILD.
Ah, the advantages of being born in '68.
ha..I'm cool. According to this thing mine is
Frankie Valli: Grease
Hey--
There's a site:
www.thisdayinmusic.com
that will give you the US and UK #1s for your date of birth.
Percy Faith & His Orch., Theme from "A Summer Place"--ecccch!
I do feel slightly redeemed, though: Elvis' plane back from his tour of duty in Germany touched down the same day I was born and I share the date of birth with JS Bach. I suppose it could be worse . . .
Well, my instrument of choice is keyboards, and I've had my share of "fun" experiences, so it was no surprise I discovered my song was:
Dave "Baby" Cortez, The Happy Organ
Damn. "Battle of New Orleans"
For those who know my history...this is ironic.

Did you fight the bloody Brits with an alligator cannon?
I love Leon Russell's version of that song. Imagine him singing that in his crazy twang.
