Soakin' in 1978Soakin' in the 70's, Episode 51Release date: April 15, 2026Spotify playlist of songs featured on the show: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1s8vuO4Lee13O76Aw22H5i?si=rvjTz9XFQg-ILpyd00RGag&pi=j6Aa6q2XQxOx0Items mentioned:Scott was right. Mork (Robin Williams of Mork & Mindy) got his start on Happy Days in Season 5-in 1978. In the episode, Mork from Ork attempts to take Richie Cunningham back to his home planet but is stopped by Fonzie. Very believable. The movie from Police drummer Stuart Copeland is titled Everyone Stares and it is available on Amazon Prime. Recommended viewing! Yvonne Elliman sang on a number of Eric Clapton albums in the mid 70's including Slowhand and she is featured on The Core (our favorite Clapton song.)Thanks Justin McIsaac-you rock!

It’s a song from a movie. Is Supertramp prog (progressive) rock? Probably not. But here is that Urban Dictionary definition of Prog Rock: A word abbreviated from Progressively Hard-as-a-Rock, which also is loosely translates to Progressive Rock. This genre of music, as well as bands dedicated to it, is known for its tendency to give listeners the most intense orgasms known to humankind. Musicians who play prog are thought to be Trans-dimensional Gods from another world, who have a zenith of skill higher than any other being in existence, whether it be of imagination or reality. YIKES! One hit Wonder Ratio this week 12.5 to 1. Want to see the racy, tattooed image on Supertramp’s early album? Search for Indelibly Stamped. It’s not a falsetto.
