Vinyl excursions

AllMusic calls Loggins and Messina's mood "amiable, laid-back, and good-natured," among other things. Well, yeah, there's not much anger in songs like "Your Mama Don't Dance" or "Thinking of You," found on Loggins and Messina. For sheer enjoyment, though, I'll take "Holiday Hotel" off this album. It's a light-hearted admonishment from a wife to a travelling musician telling him not to stray while he's off playing a gig in Modesto. I wouldn't have thought it possible to get up to no good in Modesto, or anywhere else in the Central Valley, but never mind.

I think Scott Peterson and Gary Condit are both Modesto-ites, aren't they? ;)
