When I was in high school in Michigan, 1965-1969, everybody in the Midwest seemed to listen to WLS (Larry Lujack, Fred Winston, John Records Landecker, etc.). Until your post, I'd forgotten about the Ides of March and "Vehicle" (and I never knew what a romantic backstory the song actually has until I googled it this week ).The Buckinghams were REALLY on a hot streak for a while, maybe in 1967; was that national or just a WLS/Midwest thing? I think the Chicago LP I posted came from my wife; I'm quite sure the only one I own is their first, when they were still the Chicago Transit Authority.Nice. I grew up in a Chicago suburb, so I grew up with Dick Biondi on WLS playing all that big horn rock. The Ides of March, the Buckinghams, Earth Wind & Fire, and of course, Chicago. My dad saw pretty much all of them when he was a teen. He said a lot of them really sucked live because they didn't actually have horn sections, but just used them in the studio for the records. Often, it was the players from Chicago that backed up the other bands.
I forgot I had this one. Big smile when I found it. Back in high school I knew this girl who really liked Joan Jet and........
The blade belonged to my father. After WW2 he lived the biker life for awhile. The guys carried razors in addition to a regular folding/fixed blade. He gave up the Harley but continued to carry a razor for most of the rest of his life.
I thought it was appropriate for JJ.

Here's another "Who's This?" quiz, that I think is pretty easy. Who is it, and for fun, what's your favorite cut on it?

He said back in the day they carried them in their socks. That’s about all I know. He didn’t speak much about those days or the war.How did he carry the razor to protect himself from an accidental slice? Thx

My parents split up late in the first grade so I didn’t see him a lot. Wished I had some great stories to tell but it didn’t turn out that way.
Very nice trio of records, and superior knife!

I'm ashamed to admit that I took a while to figure out what the top album was, before realizing that the letters were "sideways". Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus" used to be one of my all time favorites, even though I probably haven't listened to it for almost 25 years now!
Works like the album below used to be called "rock operas", I think.
