  1. About six or seven years ago, I got to see the Little River Band in a medium-sized nightclub; one of the members had been in Player, and the LRB covered "Baby Come Back". It was splendid. Nowdays, I can't hear that song without thinking about the time Homer was supposed to be watching Maggie, lost track of her, and called the missing baby hotline, who's on-hold music was that song.
  2. Was that "Life Beyond L.A."? There's one tune I really loved.
  3. What would a cat know about unusual pop progressions? I mean, really...here's an animal that licks it's own ass. LiveMusic, I have long felt the same way about the song. It is an unusual progression; it stretches and pulls, draws in, settles down...and does it all over again. In a Top 40 radio context, there's not been anything else like it. I was having a conversation with Sting once about great songs--in particular, pop songs as they relate to his business, because his tastes in music are broader than what he releases--and he mentioned that "Tempted" is quite likely his favorite pop tune, and he "wished to god I'd written that one". Now, to me, THAT is saying something along the order of the highest compliment. If you all want Motown-ish work by Gelnn Tilbrook, check out his first solo album a couple or three years back, "The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook"... the opening track--'This Is Where You Ain't--positively drips Motown.
