Oh good - I'll give myself an extra bowl full of Winalot tonight.
Can't forgive them for ripping off the riff of Satisfaction on Mr Soul though.

Uploaded on 3 Oct 2011 From Wikipedia: "Year of the Cat" is the title track of the 1976 album Year of the Cat by singer-songwriter Al Stewart, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London in January 1976 by engineer Alan Parsons. Parsons had Phil Kenzie add the saxophone part of the song — and by doing so transformed the original folk concept into the jazz-influenced ballad that put Al Stewart onto the charts. Co-written by Peter Wood, "Year of the Cat" is a narrative song written in the second person whose protagonist is a tourist in an exotic market where a mysterious silk-clad woman appears to carry him away for a gauzy romantic adventure. On wakening the next day beside her, the tourist realizes, with equanimity, that his tour bus is gone and he has lost his ticket. He will be staying on for a while. The song "Year of the Cat" began as "Foot of the Stage" a song written by Stewart in 1966 after seeing a performance by comedian Tony Hancock whose patter about "being a complete loser" who might as well "end it all right here" drew laughs from the audience: Stewart's intuitive response that Hancock was in genuine despair led to the writing of "Foot of the Stage". It was the melody for this never recorded song which Stewart set the lyrics of "Year of the Cat" to in 1975: pianist Peter Wood was given a co-writing credit on the song in recognition of his constructing the classic piano riff on the recorded track.
Lyrics: On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolour in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat.
She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat
She looks at you so cooly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat.
Well morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the new-born day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat.

Guy picked me up hitchiking in about 1976 who had exactly 2 cassettes...year of the cat and a live album by Jessie Colin Young, both of which he played, over and over and over and over again, between Salt Lake City and Denver...a 10 hour car ride on a good day, extended to about 14 hours by snow. I will forever hate both albums and both musicians....sad but true.

I will forever hate both albums and both musicians....sad but true. Probably had the same cassette and played it to death at one time Haven't listened to it for eons then a friend said "Have you got Year Of The Cat" so I listened to it last week with fresh ears after over 10 years of not doing so. Quite a revelation in some respects. Know nothing about JC Young but all in all I suppose the words of wisdom should be "Never go on a long journey with only two cassettes"

...Okay... If that's what you want: "Mark Lindsay and these guys aren't cool as hell" I don't exactly understand why you want anyone to say something like that, I think Mark Lindsay and these guys are cool as hell...

Listening to the album Plastic Letters by Blondie - 1978. New Wave/Punk Goddess.
Some of the most iconic images ever. Tell me she wasn't the best looking woman of all time!!
Off for a cold shower.

The Beatles "Hey Bulldog" Talking of which, this month's issue of Classic Rock Magazine has a half page article by The Headmaster talking about the Fab 4 in Hamburg titled "As a young teen, Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson fell in love with the moptop Beatles. But then he dug deeper and discovered something darker, druggier and way more dangerous."classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2014-09-10/classic-rock-202-on-sale-today
