  3. Musical Interlude: How about a 70s flashback? OK, it really came out in 1969, but as far as I'm concerned that qualifies it for 70s status as it was still popular for years afterward.

  9. Musical Interlude: Back in those madcap days called the 90s, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I picked up this CD. Dubbed "A Tribute to K-Tel Records," it's got 70s songs performed by current alt-rock bands.

    "Who is K-Tel Records?" I hear you ask. I hate you. But seriously, K-Tel was a Canadian company that published a series of compilation albums in the mid-70s of current popular songs, all by the original artists, similar, I think, to the "That's What I Call Music" series today. Back then, compilation albums were a novelty. They were advertised heavily via TV commercials, and for many teens of the period, they were a vital part of one's music collection.

    So, part of this tribute to K-Tel was this song, by a favorite band, of a song I love.

    "Venus," performed by Southern Culture on the Skids.
