I like Winnipeg, but I think I like Vegas more. I like the absurdity of an expansion team winning the Cup. But really, anyone but the Caps at this point.

+1 for the Phil Shaap comment. Not that there's anything wrong with umm Phil Shaap.

I disagree ^. I enjoy the banter.

@Nutley Sam: And knowing Phil Schaap, he's probably still on the line.

I hear "Don't Let me Down" on this tune.

Nutley Sam:

People who know Nutley Sam know he was only teasing. Let's all calm down!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm
Gaylord Fields:

@longish: I presume you skipped all stated opinions other than your own.
  1:44pm
DG:

OMG! This Rockin' Horse song is totally "Don't Let Me Down"---certainly "inspired" by it, musically & vocally (even if it doesn't copy the tune, exactly). Could be a Rutles tune....or one of those Utopia tracks from "Deface the Music."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:45pm
Philthy woman:

Love that Rockin Horse song!

guys sittin' around talkin' about records - I LIKE IT!!

"I'd rather be out with the boys"......OUCH!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:15pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Marc15: I believe that when Jagger and Oldham (!) wrote this (as the more blatant "I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys"), the homophile aspect you allude to was intended.

@Gaylord Fields: Really? It was intended?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:44pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Marc15: I remember reading years ago that it was written with their pal the openly gay producer Bob Crewe in mind. (And Mike is correct, it was Richards-Oldham; I stand corrected).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:47pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Marc15: Here's confirmation, straight from the horse's mouth: steve-marcus.blogspot.com...
  2:49pm
DG:

Wow, have always wanted to hear this Doris Troy track---written by her & G. Harrison (there are more collaborations on this album, inc. 2 by George, Ringo, Troy & Stephen Stills)...that also sounds like Billy Preston on electric piano. Don't know why this wasn't a hit.

Thank you for the information Gaylord! It is much appreciated!!
