JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO
CROSBY, STILLS & NASH
June 1977

Legend has it that Graham Nash wrote this song in 20 minutes to win a $500 bet before catching a plane to leave Hawaii. It holds the distinction of being the final song I played on the air before leaving my last TWO radio DJ gigs way back when.

And it serves the same purpose today: With this post, I am officially declaring an end to the known as Dewey's Jukebox. Oh, I'm not planning on deleting this FB page (at least for a while), and the podcast episodes are still available on Spotify, but there is no need for me to dedicate (waste?) any more time to being a cheerleader for songs from my youth.

Be God's
Dewey

GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE)
GREEN DAY
December 1997

This generation-defining song was played almost everywhere. It even featured prominently in the penultimate episode of "Seinfeld" in 1998. Now THAT was something unpredictable.

SO LONG FAREWELL
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
1959

Written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the musical "The Sound of Music," this version from the 1965 film makes me giggle every time...but you have to watch to the very end to see why.

I'M A MAN
CHICAGO
1969

in 1946, Terry Kath, guitarist with Chicago, was born. The sad thing is, on January 23, 1978, his final words were "Don't worry, it's not loaded," just before shooting himself in the head and dying instantly. Let's remember his amazing talent with this cover of a Spencer Davis song, from Chicago's first album, "Chicago Transit Authority"

EVE OF DESTRUCTION
BARRY McGUIRE
July 26, 1965 (11 days after recording!)

Written by P. F. Sloan and turned into a No. 1 hit by McGuire, the song references social issues of its period, including the Vietnam War, the draft, the threat of nuclear war, the Civil Rights Movement, turmoil in the Middle East, and the American space program. Except for Vietnam and the draft, can we really say it's out of date?

"Eve of Destruction" is a protest song written by P. F. Sloan in mid-1964. Several artists have recorded it, but the best-known recording was by Barry McGuir...

CUT THE CAKE
AVERAGE WHITE BAND
March 1975

We are celebrating with this appropriate tune by the funkiest group of Scotts you'll ever hear. But to keep this in the "appropriate" category, don't look up the lyrics.
