----- Original Message ----- From: "Maurice Rickard" <maurice@mac.com>NP: Chris Bell, _I Am the Cosmos_ (still!),Honestly , I listened to this record the first time and I felt like I'd been listening to it for 20 years . It just had a hugely familiar feel to it . Perhaps I played on it in a previous life .
There are a lot of classic rock (maybe, but not necessarily "Classic Rock") moves in it. If I have a quibble, it's that some of the rhymes and lyrics are obvious, but few people can make obvious rhymes and lyrics *work* the way Bell and Chilton can. And dig that super radio-friendly solo on the title track!
Thanks for the recommendation Maurice , if it was you :-)
You're welcome if it was, and even if it wasn't. I know *I* took the plunge based on recommendations from list members, so it could have been a lot of people.
BTW, I'm also listening--thanks to the wonders of the 'net--to some of what has leaked out of the Beach Boys' _Smile_. Man, if Brian had completed the thing...there's just some amazingly gorgeous stuff in there.
In a serious pop phase right now, Maurice -- Maurice Rickard http://mauricerickard.com/ -------------- To post: Mail tv@obbard.com To unsubscribe: Mail majordomo@obbard.com with message "unsubscribe tv"
