Day 22- A song from the 60's
Day 22: 60s

The Beatles weren't a very religious band, so to paraphrase John, Christ, this ain't gonna be easy, but they did love them some spirituality, so we'll figure it out. Gonna stick with that paraphrased song though.

The Ballad of John and Yoko - The Beatles


Don’t forget the “B” Side; Old Brown Shoe; my favorite rocker of the two.

 
Day 23: A song from the 70s

Just one? A hard choice.
"But You Don't Care" is from New Zealand's Mi-Sex (1979). They were a fabulous band - well ahead of their time. This song works with a lot of the stories here...

I got you down on your bended knees
You begged for more treatment please
Why can't you let it be
A tree stump twists
Your love shall not be missed.
But you don't care
You just don't care
If there ain't no feelings there
I bet you don't care.

 
Day 23: A song from the 70's.. (Deity reference)

The Lurkers were one of those bands that somehow flew below the radar. Early poppy punk - and on par with the Buzzcocks, Rezillos, Rich Kids, The Skids, IMO.

The second album really explored the themes of alienation… I always felt the album cover was dead on.

The Lurkers - Gods Lonely Men (1979)

 
Day 23 70s deity

Today even

Chi Lites, "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People"


Chi-Lites are one of the unsung heroes of funk. Great band!

I distinctly remember making fun of the name of that band when I was a young punk with some of my friends… only to realize years later, what a great band they were.
 
Day 23: A song from the 70s - 1970. (such a great opening to a love song!)

"I just can’t help believin’
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes "
