Bowie:: Drive In Saturday


A song about using video to bring new life to heavy touching – a crash course for the ravers. I’ve always been weird, but babe, I ain’t the freaky one this time around. Salut.

Gordon Lightfoot:: Saturday Clothes


I’ve got to tell you, that was a swell time. So now I’ll take the butts away and put the glasses on the tray. I’ll see you all next saturday.

Cat Stevens:: Hard Headed Woman (live)


I know a lot of fancy dancers, cocaine queens, and other fading lights of former prominence.

Jefferson Airplane:: Saturday Afternoon (Woodstock 1969)


From the one and only Woodstock, not to be confused with lame imitations from the nineties.

Carole King:: It’s too late


From the immaculate Tapestry, available everywhere under the sun. I just love the line, “Now, you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool.” One of the greatest records of all time. No question. It is all about facing the challenges with courage, which reciprocates with confidence, making you stronger and more importantly, better the next time around. Aren’t there like 7 Billion people on earth?

Utopia:: Couldn’t I Just Tell You


I found this little gem and it brought a smile to my face seeing that clear guitar. Isn’t this where Prince got the idea for the symbol?
