NO KIDDING on the Wings "album". I figured, in later years, that song was devised to help "ladies hygenic" materials off to a newer marketing start. "Yes, store clerk, do you have any with ... WINGS!"

On the bright side, I spent many a happy day on the Green, Keyser Stadium rocking with Led Zeppelin.. Doobie Brothers.. Allman Brothers... Marshall Tucker Band The Bishop Brothers...

The McCartney/Linda group was a total turnoff to me. But then, so was the Yoko/John "joint" screech". Yoko sounded like some twisted variation on ancient Kabuki theatre attempting at incurring hearing loss.. Maybe they had investments?

Alice Cooper put out some great music, I do agree.! (Outside that little ditty, aforementioned...)

Detroit cars back then, I confess I love them, especially the land yachts.

And I admit I love disco.

OK now for the bad, Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You" and The DeFranco Family's "Love Beat is a Heartbeat." The latter is OK in small doses but all the time would drive people nuts. If I was in charge of Gitmo, I'd be playing both songs 24/7 to all the detainees there. B-)

Hey, I knew Suzette.

Dark hair, with small tight curls. Looked kinda Italian.
