Picture back in the day, hot day really hot:
people rolled down their car windows to cool off. Get to a Stop Light & Love is Alive is on the radio,, 2 people tune their radios, then everyone tunes in their radio. PERFECT STEREO 🤟

Simpler times & simpler pleasures

I just posted a couple of his tunes recently!

How's the rest of the old '70's artists doing? In the day, they died of booze and drugs, now it's old age related--I guess.

It was okay. I was there to see Alvin Lee and TYA and they were great as usual.

Funny thing. I remember the LA Times review of the concert: "Gary Wright performed turgid organ music for his allotted time"

Why can I remember this useless drivel and not where I left a tool I just put down is just plain sad...

Taste in music is highly varied among people. A newspaper critic's taste is not likely to be representative of the majority of readers, but like a broken clock, will be right at times.

Yeah the LA Times music critics were never rock fans.
