Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Holy shit! I don't think I ever heard this BOA. I loved the live album. My uncle had it. So nasty. Jim Dandy is one of my favorite rock vocalists on voice quality, primarily,
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:07pm
efd:

I just love how Mr. Dandy is so over the top in his vocal performance on that version of "Taxman."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:08pm
Stevel:

Mr. Dandy, indeed!

He was rarely under the top. For that, I loved him, and tolerated the phallic photo of him straddling a Civil War canon in CREEM magazine.

This was the second image to come up after "Jim Dandy cannon creem". Close, but no cigar.

Hi Evan,
I'm wondering if the Steve Waxman in Even Worse is the same guy who teaches music history at Smith. Any idea about that?

Rosko was my generation's Morgan Freeman.

Mildred, no, I don't think so -- the Even Worse Steve Waxman lives in Toronto.

Well, that would have been very weird and I feel somehow relieved.

Ah, City Gardens, where you knew the show was over because of course, before the band was off the stage, the bright whites came up and a line of obese security goons would advance toward the crowd, bellowing, "Shows over, get out."

Oh well, life isn't perfect. And I don't know how many years went by when I thought that efd had recorded the falsetto word "ticket", before I realized he was performing it live each week.

@P-90, the Harry Harrison-inspired intro was based on the adopted naming rights during the 2014 marathon,which lapsed this year. So it's back to the old original intro.
