a memory of a song was triggered by the Hullabaloos, I'm a gonna love you. it sounded like a Buddy Holly song covered by someone I can't remember. only remember the melody and a few words of the lyrics that may be in the title. they were something like - my baby dove - or my turtle dove - or something with the word dove in it. it's sparse, but that's all I have to go on

Everything about the Everlys :
Thee Best TwoPart Harmony obviously - the model for everyone to come (crept only Brian Wilson with many parts from The Lettermen)
- but also Class A indispensable Songs (Beaudliue or however it's misspelled & Bryant - & originals too)
- & the Arranging & Playing as well
(adore those jumbo Gibson acoustics with the pickups - & so clearly did The Beatles ... even the way they'd hold them vertical @ one o'clock indeed whilst singing...)

If you love Freaks and Geeks (as I do!), check out the ep. of the Netflix documentary series Culture Shock. Not a dry eye.

@Tim in SF, the ep. of Cultureshock asserts that they all had careers because Apatow went to bat for all of them after F&G was canceled. It's a good story.

Great to see someone mention Utopia here! We're like a mile or 2 away & just had some this AM. Oversized, tasty (although it sometimes depends when you get there...bought these late afternoon yesterday & they're still good). I'm not a NYC bagel snob, have had good ones in Austin, San Francisco, etc. I think the water is a factor (& having bakers with the proper ethnic or geographic, um, experience....)

And yes, totally agree on Freaks&Geeks, a show I missed when it was first on (I think they kept switching the times or something) & discovered on ABC Family (which makes me think some eps. may have been "edited" a bit). As someone who sent to jr. & High school around the same time as the show (well, late '70s) it's heartbreakingly accuate (of course Apatow grew up on L.I., as I did). And the person who cast it, with actors who looked like kids instead of models, is a genius. Some funny guest stars too (Joel Hodgson from MST3K, etc).
