on underground & progressive rock in Nashville, no one, no not one, could have
imagined at this time!
Chart note: These songs move up after dropping the week before: “Lady Madonna”
(5-8-3); “Take Good Care of My Baby” (17-18-17); “Forever Came Today”
(29-31-23) (Maybe this happened more times than I realized.)
