I seem to remember seeing that they had a hit in the early seventies. What can someone tell me about them? From the summer of 1970, "Reflections (of My Life)" (highest chart: about #10). They may have been a true one-hit-wonder, as I don't recall another top-40 entry from them. Can someone with a Whitburn book confirm this? Sounded like a cross between Crosby, Stills, Nash and the Guess Who. Pretty good song, played to *death* by AM radio. As a matter of fact, IMHO, 1970 was the last great year for AM radio. Stations were just beginning to switch to the talk format, and the marketing of popular music to young adults (18-25) by endless reptition was falling out of favor, until MTV brought it back with a vengeance. Some contemporaries of Marmalade that summer: "Band of Gold" Freda Payne (who would take much heat for her follow-up "Bring the Boys Home") "Woodstock" CSN & Y (written by Joni Mitchell, who, unlike your humble servant, wasn't there) "Gimme Dat Ding" The Pipkins (Amazing that this bit of wry social commentary even made the charts) "House of the Rising Sun" Frijid Pink (No comment) "Ride Captain, Ride" Blues Image (Freedom Rock! Turn it up, dude!)

Man Hitomi, you gotta start asking easier questions... :> Actually the truth is what I figured, it just took some searching to find the documentation. This is from a Reprise Records Neil Young bio @: http://www.RepriseRec.com/Reprise_HTML_Pages/NeilYoungDir/bio.html - ------ "Young's solo career kept right on rolling. A good portion of the new material he performed on a '70 - '71 acoustic tour was inspired by his recently purchased Northern California ranch. Songs such as "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold" would eventually be recorded by Young and a band he dubbed the Stray Gators (featuring bassist Tim Drummond, steel guitarist Ben Keith and drummer Kenny Buttrey)." - ------ So, he surely wrote Old Man in 69, and probably played it around even before the tour mentioned above. My guess is that he wrote it the same time as some of the songs in his 1st solo album, which BTW, has a great pop feel (Overdub city) like Buffalo Springfield Again. I bet he's written so many songs that even his publishers can't keep track. One last piece of useless trivia and a question before I go: Old Man is listed on Harvest w/Broken Arrow Music (BMI) as publisher, A search of the BMI database failed to turn it up, and they listed Young's current affiliation w/ ASCAP. An ASCAP search lists Broken Fiddle Music as the new publisher (he obviously has a thing for "Broken"). The only thing that sucks is neither database lists copyright dates. My question is: What's the deal with BMI and ASCAP - are they like unions or what? It looks like a publisher can't be affiliated with both. - Michael (whose wife is an "acoustic Neil Young" fanatic) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jan 1997 13:05:59 -0500 (EST) From: Brian Poust Subject: Re: Woggles Watch out!

Or is it dependent upon which side of the auto fence you're on? (e.g., "I'd rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy" teeshirts and so on). I thought those I'd seen were nearer 1959 than 69 in styling...could these odd creatures actually have been in production for ten years? I KNEW there was more than one manufacturer of these thangs but could not summon the El Camino's name. Saw a magnificent black one, a Chevy I guess (it was raining HARD and I drove through briefly) at a used lot for 4500? 5500? some months ago...you'd think I'd know the difference, it's not like they're interchangeably styled modern appliance cars.

Lola> > > > > > > > The vehicle to which you refer is the early type Ford Ranchero, "The Gentleman's pickup". In it's inception (1958-59), the Ranchero was based on the full-sized Ford Galaxie body, and was indeed a chromed-out beauty! Later, the Ranchero got much smaller and was based on the Ford Falcon chassis (Sometimes called a Falcon Ranchero). The Ford Falcon was the first American compact, and was touted as "The New Sized Ford"; though it looks big by today's standards, compare it to the Galaxie! The Falcon was built to compete with the Volkswagen Bug, and beat out the Chevy Corvair in this role by several months. The Falcon Rancheros are cool too, but in a different way (very cute, stylish, but sparing use of chrome). In later years, the popularity of the Ranchero caused Chevy to introduce its version, called the "El Camino". I hope this helps. If your curiosity is piqued, I will send early Ford links.

Bennet -- Bennet ^ Bennet PLLC - Washington ) Subject: Third Eye To: Bomp list, Inet Someone was asking about the Third Eye. Pass Myself, with its ripoff of the Lucifer Sam riff, was a classic 80's garage single. All I remember was that they had a lead singer named "Vulcan" and weren't around for long. A recall that a friend of mine attended Vulcan's wedding (and sat next to a couple of Barracudas) so I'll see what I can find about the band. Michael Bennet p.s. Does anyone remember a great Australian band from that era called The Spikes? I think it might have been the band of the guy who ran the Greasy Pop label. ------------------------------ Date: 17 Jan 97 14:45:01 -0400 From: Laura Taylor Subject: RE: Re: Woggles+REQUEST "It's just my nature to do weird stuff..."
