No. no.

The lyrics contain references to “Dixieland”. So this song must be banned. The Dixie Chicks have set the standard, that no references to Dixie are allowed. Please delete this song.

sarcasm, for now. In the future, if we keep going down this road, this may not be sarcasm.

I watched a documentary on the Doobies. Very interesting guys. Yes, they smoked a lot of pot. ;)

They hired an accountant that was someone’s uncle who really thought outside the box.
He made sure they had a retirement plan, health insurance he even urged them to buy a plane to cut down travel expenses. The Doobie Brothers became the first rockers to have a private plane.

They still play and do benefits for veterans and kids.
Like I said, interesting guys. Great music.

I remember they used to pop up in shows in Santa Cruz in the 70’s. Great band.

Considering all the inductees into the R&R hall of fame, can someone explain to me why the Doobies are not in?

This one proves that old guys like us still have the chops.

I dig it, Thanks.

I recall hearing the back story on this particular song and how the band really didn’t like it all that much. After recording it, those feelings even strengthened and they considered not releasing it, thinking everyone would hate it.
