10 Songs: Friday, October 9th, 2015
1 – Imagine – John Lennon – Nothing lasts forever except for this ode to nothingness, a dream of unity made poignant, if that is possible, by his murder at the age of 40, on this what would have been his 75th birthday – A+
2 – The Red Nation – The Game, Lil Wayne – Look, I’ll buy into the great return of The Game, if you can find me one song this great on the newbie – A

5 – Haggard, Hank And Her – Toby Keith – My big album of the moment, this has the best line: “the jukebox knows no shame” – A
6 – Over – R. City – I hope they release this as the single, it is that good, truly, and I didn’t like “Locked Out” – A-
7 – Sha La La La Lee – The Small Faces – BBC live version, grittier than the recorded one – A
