Here Comes Your Baby
Did you know there was a week when Chuck Berry had the number 1 song in US, Elvis Presley was number 2, and Rick Nelson was 7? And this wasn’t 1957. It was October... 1972! Thus began my daylong deep dive into the the 50s Rock and Roll Revival of the 70s.
The deep-dive included usual suspects like American Graffiti, Grease, Happy Days, Sha Na Na @ Woodstock, Elvis comeback special. But also included the Richard Nader revival shows that started at Felt Forum but grew to sell out Madison Square Garden.
I was even shocked to learn that there are other people equally obsessed with the topic who best me to it. Bless them. scrammagazine.com/2016/02/25/yes…

It ain't no use to sit & wonder why babe
It don't matter anyhow
And it ain't no use to sit & wonder why babe
If you don't know by now
When yr rooster crows @ the breaks of dawn
Look out your window & I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
Don't think twice it's all right
“Blue-jean baby
L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed
Pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina
You must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me
Always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand”
“Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all
Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that that would only break my heart”
“Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago.”
“ I hold you in my arms as the band plays
What are those words whispered, baby, just as you turn away
I saw you last night out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind to know just what I've got in this new thing I've found”
“Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk, they're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busing in from out of state
And the D.A. can't get no relief”
“Livin' on the road, my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath is hard as kerosene
Weren't you mamma's only boy?
Her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
Sank to your dreams.”
“Tom, get your plane right on time
I know your part'll go fine
Fly down to Mexico
Doh-n-doh-de-doh-n-doh
And here I am
The only living boy in New Yor
“In the timbers of Fennario, the wolves are running round
The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me
Please, don't murder me”
