The Touchy-Feely Tunes of 1973

Dave and Milt riff on Taco Bell shtick, Dolly Parton’s legacy, a listener spat sparked by Professor David Gallant’s harsh Rock Hall takes, and Dave’s front-row Squeeze concert (plus a grim Adam Ant review). The time machine lands on the Billboard Top 10 for August 18, 1973, with context on Nixon’s first televised Watergate address, DJ Kool Herc’s early hip-hop party, a Soap Box Derby cheating scandal, and the blaxploitation film Coffy. They run through the Top 10—pick winners (Croce and McCartney), do a touch/feel-themed playdate quiz, and swap out songs for Led Zeppelin’s Over the Hills and Far Away and Joe Walsh’s Rocky Mountain Way.   Topics 01:08 Crunchwrap Shtick 02:15 Dolly Parton Tribute 06:03 Squeeze Concert Recap 10:57 Machiner Grievances 14:06 Time Travel Setup 1973 15:18 Week in History 1973 20:59 No 10 Chicago 26:00 No 9 Uneasy Rider 34:34 No 8 Delta Dawn 40:56 Gilbert O'Sullivan Deep Cut 42:38 Get Down Meaning Debate 44:18 Finley Couch Rules 45:07 Ali Photo Surprise 46:50 Bad Bad Leroy Brown 51:37 Croce Tragedy Legacy 56:30 Let's Get It On Origins 01:02:28 Gaye Lawsuit Drama 01:06:14 Morning After Movie Hit 01:13:18 Brady Bunch Detour 01:15:37 Brother Louie Context 01:18:42 Louis Flashback Bit 01:19:58 Brother Louie Origins 01:22:29 Live And Let Die Deep Dive 01:27:10 Bond Movie Scene Clip 01:31:13 Diana Ross Number One 01:36:04 Touchy Feely Play Date 01:41:29 Recap And Awards 01:44:18 Substitution Picks 01:52:52 Wrap Up And Plugs
