Well, it’s Saturday nite and that means time for either some comedy or nostalgia.
Ok, I’m about to go all 70s pop here. This first video needs no introduction, except to say that I do have my sappy moments.
Gotta love that 70s garb. Orange flashy jumpsuit? Maybe one day I should devote a page to embarrassing 70s outfits and/or household decor.
This next video has not much of a visual, but the song is quite obscure. I used to think Neil Young did it and was surprised that it was actually Ian Thomas who did this song in 1974. It followed “Painted Ladies”. Unfortunately, “Come the Son” never made the top 40 (peaked at #41)
I also never knew he was Dave Thomas’ (of “Bob and Doug McKenzie” & “Grace Under Fire”) brother.
Funny, how I remembered both of those songs playing on my mom’s old transistor in the kitchen of our old apartment, playing the now defunct CKGM.
Enjoy!
Love the vids, SS!
Did I mention that your new look is very cool ? ? ? ?
hi CK…hmmm…I’ve never heard of either group, but I kinda liked the first one. Although I’m sure you had to take acid to REALLY enjoy it.
As for the new look of your blog WOW !!!! It’s truly amazing. Nice job. And I love the picture of the War Measures issue of the Montreal Star. Wicked.
The only bad part is now I’m really going to have to get off my ass and pretty up my blog …

Thanks Simon, good to see you!
No acid nor any other harmaceutical actually. As for the song, call it a guilty pleasure. As for those outfits, well, maybe there is a pharmaceutical explanation for them, LOL!
Pretty up your blog, hmm! I do like the black backdrop. There’s something about black, grey and white I find suitable for blogs, mainly due to the widgets, badges and links we post to the side bars, and the pics & / or vids we post. Let me know if you require any photoshop assistance; I am what they call a failed Graphic Artist: studied it, got certified but got no job in it: LOL!
Again, Happy New Year to you, Sebastien and the rest of your family!
Let’s all keep up the good fight now, more than ever. The Canada we grew up in and had bragging rights is at stake now!!
Thanks, West End Bob,
