Okay, you bastid kids.
From 1967, here's the absolutely amazing Joni Mitchell with my favorite song from her debut album Song to a Seagull (produced, beautifully, by none other than David Crosby).
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
But I'm warning you -- none of you is going to get it. In fact, I'll drop in from time to time to give you more clues, but I guarantee it won't help.

ReplyDeleteSecond useless hint: Gary Brooker's scream of "Here I go!" on Procol Harum's "Rambling On."
Wow. These are the most evil earlier than usual clues to the new direction that I have EVER seen.

Key Changes
Oh that's good, Coveted, yes, I put my last 20 no-prize points on key changes as well with a side bet that A Day in the Life was going to be Simels' next diabolically evil early clue. Say no more? I can say no more.
ReplyDeleteThird totally useless clue:
ReplyDeleteZal Yanovsky's solo album.
Heheh.
Who Am Us,
ReplyDeleteIf the answer is 'key changes', I will send you this Coveted No Prize, as long as you promise to prize it and display it prominently. Open tunings, your answer, was a good clue.
But, if the answer actually is 'Hippie Music!!!' as I have guessed many times, I am moving this No Prize to the middle, and will prize it forever.
Another guess, as we are obviously both wrong
