TWLW ARTISTALBUMWKSNOTES
 Emerson, Lake And PalmerPictures At An ExhibitionFeature Album

Ike and Tina Turner in concert, Saturday, Jan. 29,
8 p.m. Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Cover: 
Cher has a new hit, “The Way Of Love”.
Note: … and hair in her face.

Song notes cont:
9. Presbyterian gathering. The only 2 songs that everybody knew were:
(1) Amazing Grace” and (2) I’d Like to Teach the World…”
16. If she’d written this when she was 15, ok.I mean this is
Melanie Safka. But compare “Candles in the Rain” -> “Lay Down”.
Maybe it is a euphemism for sex. My theory is that the key is
for a car. (1) You buy a new set of skates, the key is included.
(2) “Don’t drive no car…”; “… who don’t drive…” [a car?]
28. Rolling Stone article by Rian Malan.
