LITTLE RIVER BAND – Help is on its way
Australian band formed in 1975 and I loved them! My favourite track I couldn’t locate is ‘Home on a Monday’ with the famous line ‘Can you guess where I’m calling from, The Las Vegas Hilton”. When I stayed at the Vegas Hilton I HAD to play this and it give me a kick!
STEELY DAN – Any Major Dude
Great track from the nemesis of The Eagles, Steely Dan with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (“they stab it with their Steely knives but they just can’t kill the beast”). I love this particular track as much as 'Rikki don’t lose that number' which is probably the most popular one of all I imagine.
PETER FRAMPTON – Show me the Way
As a teenager I had ‘Frampton Comes Alive’ on vinyl and this was my favourite track with his ‘talk box’ effect that Ijust thought was the best thing I’d ever heard!
DOOBIE BROTHERS – Listen to the Music
Michael McDonald et al! Just classic 70’s fare.
BOBBY WOMACK – Across 110th Street
This song got into my head again when I watched American Gangster again and it just got under my skin so much I had to include it!
ROXY MUSIC – Love is the Drug
Oh that army shirt. I wanted one badly and finally found one in an army surplus store but it had to be the right colour with the right stripes like one Bryan Ferry wore on TOTP. Oh the folly of youth….

Society is afraid of your wild natures afraid of your naturalness, so from the very beginning, it starts cutting your wings.
And the most dangerous possibility in you is the possibility of love.
Because if there is love, you can go even against the whole world.
If you know your being, there is no question of becoming.
All that you could have ever imagined to become you already are.
You are gods who have forgotten who they are.
You are emperors who have fallen asleep and are dreaming that they have become beggars.
Now beggars are trying to become emperors, in dreams they are making great efforts to become emperors, and all that is needed is to wake up! You may be the last generation which has be the possibility to rebel.
And if you don't rebel there may be no more chances.
Humanity can be reduced to a robot like existence.
