  #YearPlaylist: 1972 Part 1 One of the more accessible ones of these? I remember hearing Johnny Nash, the Staple Singers, and The Sweet on WLS-AM. I must have a false memory of hearing the Jean Genie on the radio as a child - it only reached 71 on the US chart. Most of the rest I didn't hear until the early '80s, or in some cases, much later. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf7faWAFuL4w

  RE: https://mastodon.ie/@sk76/112909260601408055 I just twigged the moral. Previously I thought it was still talking about baseball, and that the "Main" was the field (or village green or whatever). Instead it's saying baseball is a metaphor for the pursuits of the British Empire - "the Main" being, duh, the high seas.
