Episode 17: Ep. 13 - Don't Call On Me

A fine addition to the list of pop song "Don't"s...(Don't Bother Me, Don't Let Me Down, Don't Wait For Me, Don't Be Cruel, Don't Worry Baby, Don't Cry No Tears, Don't Ask Me Why, Don't Forget Me, Don't Leave Me, Don't Lie To Me, Don't Make Promises, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Don't Stop Believin', Don't Think Twice...ARRGH! So many restrictions! And that's just off the top of my head..). Anyway..."Don't Call On Me", written by Michael Nesmith and John London in 1964, shares the same first chord, sung note and sung word as "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" (another restriction!), but then becomes its own thing and a glorious thing it is indeed. In this episode I discuss Major 7th chords, bossa nova beats, the quantum leap rock music took in mid-1967, flying Telecasters, Monkee Mania Radio and I even work in a reference to the Apple TV series Severance, because it's the best television show going and you all should be watching it and I can't seem to go an hour without working it into all conversations. This episode features my voice sounding raspy and breathing slightly labored as I just got over my annual February flu. So this episode is unofficially sponsored by Mucinex. Anyway, Enjoy and see you in the Spring!
