Episode 19: The Week Ending September 14, 1974 (You’re) Having My Earache My Eye (But I Like It) Baby

At first, maybe you didn’t feel like makin' love, but she was one hell of a woman.  She told you things like she never knew love before, and then came you. You were still reluctant, but you took one look at her in those skin tight clothes and thought “just do it baby”. You then went off to do your own thing, like a free man in Paris. A few months later, you got a letter from her saying that she really needed to talk to you and would you please come to Boston. When you saw here again and she told you, you thought to yourself oh my god, she’s having my baby! She didn’t make any demands, she just said “hold me, and rock me gently”. In terms of a commitment, she only said “I’m going to leave it all up to you”.  You told her that you would hang in there because I can’t get enough of your love babe. Then a friend told you about the other man, the musician, the jazz man. In a mad fit of rage you went to find him and in a blind fury, you shot him down. As your head cleared and the people stared as if you were some kind of circus sideshow, you realized, oh my god, I didn’t just shoot her lover, I shot the sheriff!  You fled, into the hills, deep into the woods, no time to stop and smell the roses, no time to change horses, especially in the middle of a stream. The horse was your only friend and you said to him, “It’s just you and me against the world now”, but then you realized no, you set him free yelling "go on boy, you ain’t done nothin". At last, exhausted, you prayed for death, realizing you would never see your sweet home Alabama. Then, that moonlit night, he came, a wild thing, and he spared you anymore agony. Let’s clap for the wolf man.
In this episode we spend another Saturday night listening to the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending September 14th 1974. I know, I know, it’s only rock and roll, but I like it.
