One of the other songs I could play on WWUH when I needed a bathroom break.

some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
That was great. So far I've listened to it 5 times. Good stuff.

No doubt. Time Has Come Today comes to mind too.

Haha! When I was an intern at WWMO waaaaaaaaay back in 1986, we had two triple deckers that were all sequenced. There was a special cart marked "BATHROOM." It was a liner that went "And now another four in a row gospel music feature..."
At the Ole Miss campus station , it used to be Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother Suite .

I didn't realize how localized in time and place Jaime Brockett was. I was in Boston when he was doing his thing in Cambridge, and I heard this maybe once or twice when I was there. Then, I got reminded of it when I heard it late-night when I'd pulled off the New York State Thruway near Rochester in '74 for some much needed Z's. After that, it took a while to find the vinyl (now out of print - but there may be a re-issue). While I was stopped, that station also played Harry Nilsson's The Point with Iblio and Arrow.
At that time and place, this was a massive hit. It had just the right tone for the times, and Mr. Brockett's high-energy playing and singing and speaking were very, very well received. Like I said in the original post, I'd give my left ...whatever... to see him do this live. Must have been AWESOME back then.
I see, though, that not everybody appreciates what he does. Ah, well, no accountin' and all that. I do think that the images in that particular youtube video are distracting...mebbe I shoulda found one without images. Now, I'm going to take my 497.5 feet of rope and get outta here!
Do the Eagle Rock!

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
Yup. Of course any one of Harry Chapin's story songs was also good in a pinch.

After you've smoked that much magic weed it doesn't matter if its USS, HMS, RSS, CIA, FBI, NSA...
