if “Africa” by Toto isn’t the “Bohemian Rhapsody” of the 80’s, it’s among a short list of finalists. Like the Outfield’s “Your Love” and, of course, “Don’t Stop Believin'” its appeal is timeless, its cover versions endless.
These two guys do a better job than you might expect from two guys in shorts at a pizza parlour. Respect!

Nothing too complicated going on here. It is, as they say, what it is.

Still my favorite MMJ track, it makes me want to get out Decade and listen to Neil Young tunes from back when he was all heart. Nowadays he couldn’t be more self-absorbed if he were made up of equal parts water and paper towel. (I think that line might belong to Dennis Miller.)
Anyway, a beautiful song I think.

Okay, so I’m not among the first million to view this. I’ll still pass it on in case you haven’t yet seen it.
I love the slide whistle instrumental break. There aren’t enough of those these days.
