Anybody besides me remember "Association?"

[Archae]

The group?

"Windy" "Cherish"

Next Friday they'll be here in Sheboygan at the Weill Center.

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. And Windy has stormy eyes

I remember them well, Archae.

[Archae]

3. Here they are now...

[Ron Green]

2. Now my empty cup is as sweet as the punch.

[BurtWorm]

7. That;s my favorite Association song.

In fact I can't stomach the other ones. But I truly love that one.

5. ANy original members?

16. According to Wikipedia, there are two or three in there, and a son.

But the OP left out the "The" part of the name... "The Association"

Rewatch "The Commitments" for a refresher on the importance of "The" in a band's name.

Although, way back when, "The Pink Floyd" was the name, IIRC, until they dropped the "The" and gave it to Matt Johnson so he could form "The The" and toil in obscurity.

6. Requiem For The Masses

[Kat45]

8. Yup. I have those 45s.

I'm amazed that they're still around. Are you going to see them?

[Archae]

20. I don't have the money for the concert.

Besides, I think a couple hours of 60's soft rock would drive me yibbly. :crazy:

9. I own the world's largest collection of Association LPs

Three: And then along comes . . . The Association; Renaissance; Insight Out.

A badly overlooked group with some fine musicians and harmonies that rivaled the Beach Boys. Glad to hear they're still going, even though they'll never make it to my neck of the woods.

[SoxFan]

10. Well, you can always stick this in your ear

[gratuitous]

12. This from somebody who sings "Sweet Caroline" at every home game?

I'd have to stick that in my eye.

[SoxFan]

13. No, don't go blaming me for that thing!

The guy who came up with that actually works for the Dodgers now.

I will confess to singing "Dirty Water" and "Tessie" after a win, which is, frankly, an entirely different story!

[gratuitous]

17. Well, if the Royals ever win a game, I'll let you know what they might sing

"It's a Miracle" comes to mind.

[gratuitous]

18. Whoops, posted too soon!

Kansas City 4
Boston 3

It's a miracle, a true blue spectacle, a miracle come true!

[hippywife]

11. Yep. I do remember them. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Heck, yes. I still have one of their albums from 1968-ish

and "Requiem for the Masses" is on my iPod.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. I saw them in concert when I was in college

Yes, I'm that old.

[swimboy]

19. Recently bought their greatest hits

I try to listen to Enter the Young unironically.
