Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. Today, for the first time, Pop-A-Looza is actually scooping my own blog with the first appearance of a new piece, a celebration of "Day After Day" by Badfinger.
The piece was originally intended to run as part of this week's edition of 10 Songs, which would have posted today. I thought it also worked well as a stand-alone, so I offered it to Pop-A-Looza for use separate from 10 Songs. The original 10 Songs post will appear on this blog tomorrow.
In the mean time, you can read this fresh Boppin' Pop-A-Looza today, a story about a song I heard on the radio when I was 11 or 12 years old, about hearing it performed live more than two decades later by Badfinger's Joey Molland playing with a quintet of musicians from Syracuse, and about how a pop record can conjure the past while remaining a vital part of the present. The latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza is "Day After Day" by Badfinger.
