Will Strawberry Fields beat Strawberry Alarm Clock? Is there more love for Modern Love or Modern English? Billy Paul or Billy Preston. Or Billie Eilish? Last chance to impact the standing for our #OldiesCountdown. Send your top 22. But do it soon! 🇺🇸🎸🍺🍰🐵

So far, I can reveal that Pink Floyd has more votes than P!nk. That 3 mentions seems to be the magic number for making the top 500. And that one song is running away from all the others. But it's not Shaddup You Face or Pac Man Fever.

I can also say that the votes have been so 60's centric that Three Dog Night and Pure Prairie League are two of the youngest acts on the countdown.

I hope we can finally settle the age-old Beatles vs. Looking Glass debate once and for all.

The recent, sad passings of Lance Kerwin and Adam Rich have got me thinking of how quickly time is passing. And thinking a lot about the 1970’s. This thread is a quick photo salute to some of my other favorite 70’s figures, real or fictional. Enjoy. 🤟

There is no sports team I love more than #USMNT. And I’ve never been less excited for a World Cup, because of Gregg Berhalter’s arrogance & stubbornness. 3 years in & he’s still basing player selection around his system & not the other way around. Setting this team up to fail. 🇺🇸

Insistence on playing a “high line” w/o the players to do it. Even worse, an adherence to “playing out of the back” long after we assumed we were done with that. Long/ Zimmerman are not the CBs for that. If you insist on it, call up Brooks & Ream. What a disaster this close to WC

Jordan Pefok’s the most obvious case in point. For an entire qualifying cycle the narrative has been “we don’t have a 9 who can score.” Suddenly, an American is lighting up the Bundesliga but GB won’t call him. Doesn’t fit his “system.” All he does is score goals & assist on them

Me: I like to use Twitter to provide real time commentary on current events as their happening.

Also Me: I can’t believe more people aren’t following my super timely thread on “60’s Pop Bands appearing on 60’s Sitcoms.” 😩😩

I was today years old when I learned about:

The Buffalo Springfield on Mannix

Or that my beloved Paul Revere & the Raiders were on Batman.

How about I combine 2 of my favorite topics— 60s pop and 60s tv?

Here are some of my favorite TV appearances by 60s musical acts.

Beginning, of course, with Boyce & Hart on Bewitched.
