Guilty pleasures. - Page 4

Mine is the series "Lockup" that airs late night on the weekends on MSNBC. I'm not sure why I find that show so compelling but I do. Despite what I have read about how unfair our incarceration practices are in the USA after being a regular viewer of this show I can say with certainty that I have never seen an inmate on that show who wasn't exactly where they belonged.

I've yet to find anyone including such a crap band as Barclay James Harvest or songs like 'Chirpy Cheep Cheep' in their list of GPs.

I bought a Barclay James Harvest record once. 'Time Honoured Ghosts', which featured this song

I probably bought it for the cover art

. Not knowing who they were I sold it soon after, same with Sugarloaf's "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You".
At the time (the seventies) it felt like I was overdosing on country rock. Or was it belated beatlemania?

Anyhoo, prior to that, when puberty began, I remember getting a groove to Chick -a-Boom. My parents should've had me 'checked out' then.

Joan Jett shoulda covered the last one.

One of many songs covered by Jonathan King

For a hard prog rocker like myself, it may come as a surprise that, I love Toni Basil's Word of Mouth album and even Abba.

VEF! It has no redeeming social value. But it satisfies me. Every day.
