"Midnight Rendezvous" is one of my top-5 warmup songs when I pull out the guitar with it's sideways-"Rebel Rebel" riff.<br /><br />"The Raspberries of the late-70s" is how I've always thought of them. 5 solid power-pop albums. Not brilliant through-and-through like the 4 Raspberries albums, but there's more wheat than chaff in those Baby's albums for sure! <br /><br /><br />Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-36243507963925786342018-08-23T08:29:10.968-07:002018-08-23T08:29:10.968-07:00I discovered free form FM radio in 1971, and never...I discovered free form FM radio in 1971, and never tuned into "hit" radio again. <br />As a result I'm forever suspicious of "Pop sheen", and Top 40.<br />However, The Baby's are solid, and John Waite is a fine singer.<br />buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-22982352909018694492018-08-23T05:56:31.532-07:002018-08-23T05:56:31.532-07:00Mr. Waite just played here on the 4th of July open...Mr. Waite just played here on the 4th of July opening for Pat Benatar.
