For the students to be home with their families they would have to run a gamut through areas of potential peril - there might be a killer loose for all we know! Safty first - stay in the classroom!
No, they would have to run a gauntlet through areas of potential peril.  Of course, since each student would be going in their separate ways home, they would be running a gamut of gauntlets.

You're right, better to keep them all together.

Oh, and has anyone mentioned the marvelous Melissa Manchester's songs, both ones she wrote and ones she sang?  And Carly Simon's beautiful That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be (can't remember if she wrote it or not).

Now, of course, the game would be to list any songs written in the nineties or the aughts that are of the caliber of the ones listed here, and ones that will have a life like those listed here?  Think they'll be singing My Heart Must Go On ten years from now?  They're not even singing it NOW.

One of the problems with trying to list "70s" music is that it comes from two very different mind-sets.  First, there was the continuing "Summer of Love" that began in '68, but was still being felt into the 70s.  Then, around '76 or so, the disco era began, transforming "Make love, not war" into "Make love."  

Of course, some of the music covered both phases of the decade.  Anyone remember the Jackson Five?  Back when they were all still innocent?  Are there any innocents in that family any more?

I believe there is a bounty being offered for anyone caught singing THAT song.

Woohoo! Universal is releasing a second set of Ma and Pa Kettle DVDs and another set of Abbott and Costello DVDs, along with some assorted vintage westerns from the 40s and 50s.  It is very nice to see them starting to release some of the oldies! I hope they continue this trend!

Penny - Thanks.  Your answer made sense.  When it was on PBS, Beverly Sills was interviewed and she said how thrilled she was that they were finally doing it in German, but your reason for their return to the English is dead on.  Now if only their English could be understood without supertitles!

TCB - I don't know if it the same song DR Jose is thinking of, but the "Bonepart's Retreat" I am familiar with was sung by Kay Starr.

I found this through a few links which led me to Slate, in a recap of current magazines:

" Time weighs in on the candidates' eating habits. While Wesley Clark loves Cheetos and Gummi Bears, John Kerry is a Hostess cupcake man, Howard Dean has a hearty "Clintonian" appetite, chowing down on pork sandwiches and strawberry milkshakes in Iowa. John Edwards, though, is at once the most worrisome and most adorable: While he "chugs about a dozen Diet Cokes daily," he also celebrates his nuptials with an annual trip to Wendy's, a sentimental nod to his first anniversary celebration."

By which I must assume they're finding Edwards' trips to Wendy's worrysome, because we all know Diet Coke chuggers are adorable!   8)

Now I am quite confident, Dear Reader PennyO, that I've seen and heard you at the NYCO.  I remember a performance of Carmen at NYCO in particular during your time there.  Gwendolyn Killebrew was the Carmen, and Placido Domingo was the Don Jose.  (I can't remember if Domingo had been announced or if he just happened to be in town and was covering for an indisposed tenor.  Of course, Domingo sang quite a bit at NYCO in his earlier days.)  Perhaps you were in the cast that night.

The CARMEN I was most touched by was the brief re-appearance of Victoria de los Angeles, when she came to the House to sing the role. i was her Frasquita - she was quite old and infirm at the time, but every once in awhile during that performance, she would spin out a magical phrase that quite took my heart. Unfortunately, that was her only performance, and she cancelled the rest of her run, including the live broadcast. But Joy Davidson sang the broadcast with us -- I'd love to get a pirate of THAT! Boy, was I in voice that day.

Has SILVERLAKE been issued as a CD? I have a swell duet early on in that, with mezzo Jane Shaulis. Julius Rudel let me take some liberties - how uncharacteristic of him!!!

RE: Bonaparte's Retreat - After searching through the ASCAP and BMI on-line databases, I think I'm thinking of the version that was recorded by Glen Campbell or The Sons of the Pioneers.  It was on a cassette of Great Country Songs that came with my cassette player.  I'm not sure if it was originally from the 70's... However, the tape did start off with The Everly Brothers singing "Dream, Dream, Dream" - and I think I can still sing the harmonies to this day!!!  *But I really don't think I can remember what "Bonaparte's Retreat" sounds like right now.  I just really liked the title.

BK - Thanks for the Melissa Manchester reminder!

MBarnum - Was "Pop Music" really from the 70's?  I seem to remember it from my middle school and grade school days which would have been early 80's... However, I could also be remembering their "custom" version called "Slush Turtles" since we had a rough winter, and they came up with a song about those chunks of ice and snow that would "grow" on cars right behind the tires... and would fall off sometimes, and look like a "slush turtle"... "Slush, Slush... Slush Turtles"...

OH PLEASE DO NOT LET ME HAVING THAT SONG GOING THROUGH MY HEAD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!?!?!?

-OK - Everyone, All Together Now: Slush.. Slush..

I have decided that I like snow.  Snow is visual and textural.

Rain, on the other hand, is simply wet and cold.

Today we're having rain.

Phooey.

OH!! OH!! - Before I run to class...

I used to be obsessed with the Pointer Sisters version of "Fire".  Oh, and then there was the parody version sung by Elmer Fudd:

I'm widing in caww

"Bonaparte's Retreat" was revived successfully (at least in OZ) by Glen Campbell in the 1970's. (1974) It had been a major hit for Billy Grammer in 1959 and Kay Starr in the 1950.  (Just so that you know).

Obviously, it is impossible for us to discuss popular music definitively during the hours that Tomovoz is sleeping or napping.  What will we do when Colin finally puts him in a home?

Good afternoon, all. Just got back from a network story meeting which was fairly pleasant. Went out for coffee with the producers after the meeting, which was also nice. Read all the posts - interesting stuff. Now I must eat, do a few errands and get to work. Will check in later.
