Good morning everyone! It’s not only great to see John Roberts back, but our good buddy JJ is back! It’s like old homecoming week. I don’t know if this song that mentions Hollywood is going to thrill either of them, but it certainly thrills me, which is why it’s on the countdown. Here’s today’s song. Venus and Mars/Rock Show - Wings Technicalities, technicalities. Technically, I have two songs mentioned here, and only one of them mentions Hollywood. Don’t get picky! Looking at this clip from 1975, it’s sad to think that only two people in the band are still living: Paul McCartney, and drummer Joe English. Every time I see Jimmy McCulloch in one of these clips, I feel bad. What a waste. He died at 26 of a heroin overdose. He sure rocked it in his short life, and even in his old age Sir Paul is doing well. The Boys From Dungeon Lane is a good album. This one is a great album! Venus and Mars/Rock Show Written by Paul and Linda McCartney Recorded by Wings From Venus and Mars, 1975 Hollywood lyrics: They’ve got rock ‘n’ roll at the Hollywood bowl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQNCtVaKPaI

Sir Paul has so much talent. Maybe you had to slip this one in so that you have just enough songs for the count-up, because I know that I am waiting for that top song on this one. It sure is great to see both of the guys back again, trying to convince JJ for a Coughee Moment Post, but not quite sure that I've convinced him as of yet. Wouldn't that just make everybody's Monday alot better?

@FourWalls Good luck at the appointment. I would even settle for a squirrel/racoon tree post, remember those.

Nope we didn't know it. Even though we know Wings.

Chicken wings? Buffalo wings? Does Red Bull have wings?

No, but Red Bull gives you wings. Or so their commercials say.

Love that you snuck two songs in, nobody's complaining here. Venus and Mars is such a great album, the Rock Show opener still gets me. Sad about Jimmy McCulloch though, he really could play.

You just like the reference to scoring an ounce, olé. Great to have you back!
