I like a great deal of The Carpenter’s work, and have liked it since first hearing ‘Close To You’ during the summer of 1970.

As for that song ‘Calling Occupants”, I have less than zero (ZEE-ROW) use for it. I often wondered where they came up with such a clunky, contrived, overworked ....mess, but I didn’t care enough to look into it. Put that under the category of ‘Throw Away Songs” full of keywords and phrases unknown to most people, a song best performed only for drinking or vaping buddies.

“September 20, 1977.”

The Carpenters is not something KZEW of Dallas (Texas, y’all) would give air time to.

Good post.

A lot of Freepers need to be reminded that the UFO craze is not something that just happened this year—it has been ongoing since the 1950s.

From what I’ve heard, Karen led to the demise of John Bonham.

I bought the first Klaatu album. It was a cool album of decent songs. I probably still have it somewhere.
