Sad To See It Go: No

This was in my household by 1976 when my mother got a copy.  This beat-up copy I found in my local used store dollar bin for 29 cents, the bottom of the bottom in their pricing.  About 15 years ago I listened to it and it actually played through better than I remembered but I still sold it for my bottom $2.99.  To add insult to injury this was in a box that got hit with flood water.  Some bargain hunter truly rolled the dice on this one.

I prefer this to Rumours, the twin titans of the Lindsey/Stevie years.  I heard it in a coffee shop across from the Navy Yard where Sojourn Records had an office and work for me around 2012.  Over coffee, I honed in on the drums of "Rhiannon" in a way in never had before.  I must've been tired and zoned out that day, but that moment has stuck with me as the moment  I had a new appreciation for this album I have known cold from my mother playing it relentlessly before Rumours came out.

I had a first grade teacher that had it on 8-track and I brought the lyric sheet in at the start of second grade, leaving class to show her the vital missing component that I felt she needed to see.   I was an eccentric record fanatic kid at 7.

As for the music, there is not a note I haven't overheard in my lifetime.  However,  I always enjoy "Monday Morning" and the rest of the album never sounds unpleasant to me in the background.  I was a bit burned out of my mothers incessant playing of this and Rumous as a child, but I still enjoy this on a peripheral level, although I'm probably not gonna elect to hear it the rest of my living years.

Well, I guess that depends on the choices.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
