    But in the daytime everything changes
    Nothing remains the same.
    No one smiles anymore
    And no one will open his door
    Until the night time comes--

    And then the
    City lights, the pretty lights
    They can warm the coldest nights
    All the people going places
    Smiling with the electric faces
    What they find the glow erases
    And what they lose the glow replaces, and life is love.
    In a neon rainbow...

  2. CC Lyrics fail. Guy is singing "The Letter" by the Box Tops. You know, "My baby just wrote me a letter", that one?

    🎶 ...All the children going places
    Wearing masks upon their faces
    What they find are Mars Bars traces
    And their bags, the Butterfinger graces,

    And the night is love.
    In a neon RainBlo--
    A neon RainBlo! 🎶

  5. Having to scan receipts to count for #BoxTops is a problem both because it's an invasion of #privacy and because not everyone is rich enough to be able to afford a compatible #phone. The second thing is a bigger issue because that can affect poorer schools, which are disproportionately minority-based (usually meaning Black people) due to financial discrimination by the state and stuff.

  6. YouTube comment:

    "Big Star's Radio City album is in my top 10 of all time, right up there with The Beatles, The Who, The Stones, Miles Davis, etc. But it always strikes me funny that Alex seemed to enjoy himself more playing these Box Top shows than his Big Star reunion ones. I do know that he almost loathed playing Big Star songs, yet he appears to still have a fondness for the Box Top stuff."
