Okay, JBNBlog is sure this is Carly Rae Jepsen & the song must be Call Me Maybe. But could the foreshortened drummer  wearing a nice tie be #ldnont ace Jason Pierce? JBNBlog would love to know for sure. The usual prizes are available for the first correct, convincing answer.

Women’s Lib. Hmm. What feminist TV was that? JBNBlog wishes memory would serve this time.

As for the music, Daydream is a fantastic song & I have struggled to play it on the guitar ever since . . .  the Johnny Winter LP was an early album repackaged after he signed with Columbia & was heard at a fine record store in Victoria kind enough to let fans hear music like that & then reapply the shrink wrap if we passed on the album.

At some point, Tommy faded out of the picture . .  . still listen to The Who a lot. Just not Tommy . . . maybe I never got over Randy Newman spoofing it by saying he was at work on a song about this deaf, dumb & blind kid who could play a little pinball. Or maybe there weren’t enough good songs to last over two albums. What has JBNBlog missed?
