Wednesday Forgotten Oldie...

"I Think I Love You" is a 1970 single by The Partridge Family, featuring David Cassidy, composed by songwriter Tony Romeo. The song was released at the same time as the debut of the network television sitcom The Partridge Family. During the show's first season the song was featured on the show twice as it was climbing the actual Billboard charts. The song hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Pop Singles chart and in Canada on the RPM 100 national Top Singles chart in November of that year and #1 in Australia and New Zealand in 1971.
The only cast members of the television show to actually participate in the recording of the song were David Cassidy and Shirley Jones. The music on the song was played by veteran studio musicians such as Hal Blaine, Larry Knechtel, Joe Osborne, Louie Shelton, Tommy Tedesco, and others.

Survivor - One World update

Ha ha ha!! That's how I feel after last night's episode... Colton is gone. Unfortunately he didn't get blindsided or fall victim to strategy from other players, he got medi-vacced with acute appendicitis.
Now you may have noticed I didn't update last week. I tried. But I couldn't write a summary without expressing my personal feelings about Colton. And I wasn't alone... the CBS blogs were loaded with comments from fans that despised Colton, and even said they couldn't watch the show anymore because of Colton. There has never been such a negative reaction to a Survivor contestant in the 24 seasons of the show!
So, to recap- last week Jeff Probst dropped a bomb when the tribes were re-formed. As luck would have it we wound up with a young, strong tribe and a weak tribe of misfits (led of course by Colton). Probst called the two new tribes "the mighty and the scrawny". The strong tribe won immunity, and for the second week in-a-row Colton engineered the removal of the tribe-mate he disliked most... bye bye Monica (one of the strongest members of the weak tribe by the way).
On to this week. We join our crew of castaways as Colton and Alicia are repeatedly telling Christina that she's the next one to go, for no reason other than she's the person on the tribe that Colton dislikes most. Aha, if you had any doubts before you now know that Colton and Alicia are truly nasty human beings! Not nice people!
At reward challenge, the mighty tribe wins and gets to spend an afternoon gorging themselves on Ice Cream and all the toppings you can imagine!
And then... Colton got sick. He got all headachey and complained of terrible pains in his stomach. The medics arrived, diagnosed appendicitis, and took him away. And just to prove one last time that Colton was always all about Colton, he told his tribe he was keeping his immunity idol as a souvenier (instead of giving it to someone he might help). Ha ha ha.
Sooooo.... both tribes were called to tribal council, the mighty were informed about Colton, there was no need for a vote, and Probst told them to drop their buffs because they were merged.
Sooooo... one tribe, everyone battling for him or her self from here on, and no Colton (see picture) to manipulate and get his way (and roll his eyes). Game on! Survivor just got a lot better!

Wednesday's Forgotten Oldie...

Today a song written by Bo Diddley and covered amazingly well by the Yardbirds, "I'm A Man". The song roared to #17 on the U.S. charts in October of 1965, and illustrated the experimentation with fuzz and amplifier feedback the Yardbirds were known for. In my opinion, the song is largely forgotten by oldie programmers today because they assume it's the same song as the Chicago and Spencer Davis hits of the same name... but it's not even close. Best known for launching the careers of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, the Yardbirds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. They still tour today with two original members, Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja.
The Yardbird version of I'm A Man was featured in the opening episode of the Simpsons' 2007-2008 season on Fox, so even though programmers ignore the song today, Bart Simpson remembers...
