Day 20

BA Robertson - Kool In The Kaftan (Referencing Scott McKenzie of hippy fame)

I'm into Scott McKenzie
In San Francisco
That is where he can be found
I don't mean to offend thee
But San Francisco has its faults

Maybe it is truly underground

Day 19

The Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl

And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was "'California Dreamin'"
So, we started screamin'
"On such a winter's day"

And also "If you don't got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin'"

Let 'Em In - Wings

Sister Suzy, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil and Don

Phil and Don Everly (obvs!) ‘Let 'Em In’ is a tribute to various people in Paul McCartney's life, and mentioning them was a nod to their musical impact on him.

Day 14

Before I leave Eddie Cochran, here’s one he wrote after the shock deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It’s a little maudlin but heartfelt. Eddie himself would be killed just over a yr later. RIP

Eddie Cochran - Three stars

Day 10

The Upsetters - Return of Django

Skart the week Monday 👍

I know some would argue this was inspired by the film of the same name, but I’m inclined to think - at least subconsciously - this is referencing Belgium jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt 😊
