I have You're Only Lonely, and it seems to be another entry in the 70s California rock sound. Think Eagles, Jackson Browne, Loggins & Messina, etc ... It's pleasing enough, but it never really grabbed me.

Dean:

I have John David Souther, Black Rose, You're Onnly Lonely, and Tenderness. Carmichael's description is accurate, but sometimes "pleasing enough" does grab me. Also, not being The Eagles or Jackson Browne grabs me. Weirdly, I like L&M, too.

It's unlikely that you could make a crabby patty using cheap champagne or any type of champagne. However, if you are looking for a recipe for a seafood burger patty, there are many recipes available online that use ingredients such as crab meat, shrimp, or fish, combined with various seasonings and binders to create a flavorful and satisfying burger.

Always think - compare ~ contrast to Magical Mystery Tour. Beatles as amateur Filmmakers & real Musicians - role reversal with the Monkees making the Pro freakout. Or ...compaer to 'Let It Be' for the cinematic immolation thing ...again with TheBeatles being the less self-aware ones suddenly ...except 'Get Back' counters the myth of those sessions being them Breaking Up just that moment ...or does it...

...remember some suggestion that 'Head' made 'Easy Rider' possible ...but it notably flopped so I guess I don't remember it - must have been Monkees series money...

My high school chemistry teacher first thought of building a bunker out of six-packs through which he would drink his way out. The depth of the walls of six-packs was determined according to the teacher's capacity for alcohol and the half-life of uranium.
