If you really like those first 2 or 3 Chicago albums, you owe it to yourself to check out two albums by another Windy City band, The Buckinghams, from 1967 & 1968 (before Chicago per se existed). These were both produced and arranged by James William Guercio (Chicago's producer through most of the 1970s). Both Buckinhams albums have more than a few moments that will strongly remind you of Chicago (the band). Based on the recorded evidence, it could well be argued that the style of those early albums owed more than a little to Guercio! The songwriting on these Buckinghams albums isn't always the greatest, but the arrangements and production definitely point at things to come in the near future out of Chicago Transit Authority/Chicago, and Time & Charges was actually a bit of an "underground sensation" in certain rock critical circles of the time. Anybody who finds/found the CTA album "innovative" or some such will likely be surprised at what they hear in these albums!

← Thanks for noticing!

My question to you, Jim, is what were you thinking when you paid your money to get in in the first place? That either of these movies were going to be "<really hapnin'>"? "Blue Lagoon" - I was on the road in some burg, bored shitless, wide awake, and foolishly succumbed to the urge to do something "normal". When will I ever learn? "Rambo" - a friend of my wife harrangued us for weeks to go see this with her. She dug the action. I protested every step of the way, but finally we both figured that the only way to get this chick to shut up about the damn movie was to go see it with her. My wife was to polite to leave, but hey, it was her friend, not mine, so I went next door and rented a copy of "Blue Lagoon". Not really - I went out to the car and took a nap. When the two of them came back, the Rambophile started telling me what a good movie I had missed, and I finally had to tell her, "No disrespect, Peggy, but please shut the hell up about g.d. Rambo!" She kept going on, and I repeated myself every few seconds until she finally took me seriously. Maybe it was pulling the car over to the curb in the middle of heavy traffic to deliver the final admonition that did the trick. Who knows? Peggy remained a friend, but we never went to a movie with her again. Works for me!

It was all over by 72 or so afaic.

Be careful what you ask for!

Well, that's the thing right there - it doesn't have to be a custom ringtone! You've touched on a major modern personal irritant. I'll be minding my own business somewhere, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, comes this goofyass louder than shit NOISE that's as unnecessary as it it is unwelcome. And what is it? Somebody's damn ringtone. "Hey, I'm COOL! My phone plays a song!" Hey Slick, here's some news you can use - NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE PLAYING THE GODDAM 1812 OVERTURE, A DISCO LOOP, OR ANY OTHER GODDAMN THING! IT'S A PHONE, CHUCKLES, NOT A PRIVATE RADIO STATION! GET A FUCKING GRIP ON YOUR BITCHASS REALITY BEFORE SOMEBODY STICKS THAT DICKBREATH PHONE OF YOURS SO FAR UP YOUR SELFCENTERED ASS THAT EVEN 911 WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND IT, YOU PATHETIC, THINK-I'M-SPECIAL-BECAUSE-MY PHONE-HAS-A-REPERTOIRE-OF-BULLSHIT LOSER! Thanks. I feel better now.

Now that I think about it, I realize that I've walked out of every movie I've ever went to see...

"Blue Lagoon" & "Rambo", both within the first 20 minutes.

His is the kind of "interesting life" that I am glad to have not led.

Well, the first line is, "ska-DO-dippy-bah-BAHH", and the rest just sort of elaborates on that. You know, typical lyric stuff.

Thanks! That link doesn't fully load for me right now, but I'll keep trying.

Happy Birthday from a Representative Sampling!

Well, there you go.

I got lyrics, but they ain't got words.

Looking for it myself as well. The redocopus site has no listing for it that I can find, though. Anybody siting this for sale online, PLEASE POST!

Remember a few years ago when he was on his deathbed? Hard to believe.

I think you should think again!

Too bad him & Lee Dorsey never worked together.

Yes, please!

Yes to Little Johnny C!
