yo Olymtigs2010, I agree. Actually they could have been a decent band if the TV business left them alone. But, as you know, it's all about the money

I'm grilling a t-bone just off Sepulveda, Encino, c. 1966, Bud in my fist, Dodgers on the radio. Smog obscuring the Santa Monicas and burning my eyes, and I'm loving life in Status Symbol Land.

Carol wrote this song while she lived in West Orange, NJ. Pleasant Valley Road is a main road that goes through several towns in the area. One of my fraternity brothers lived off of the road so one day I asked him "do you have a color TV in every room?" He thought about and answered, "They're not all color."
