“Sweet Emotion”--taken. “Spill the Wine,” “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” “Dirty Work,” they’re gone too. I want to help P.T. Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, Richard Linklater, David O. Russell, or the next person who tries to capture that elusive something about the ‘70s in a song. I don’t want to interfere with the upcoming classic-rock poll, so I’ll limit myself to 10 personal favourites that unroll like films in my mind, and, to the best of my knowledge, haven’t been given the full-Scorsese yet. Which of these is most deserving of that next grand tracking shot into a posse of drugged-up, wigged-out, badly dressed, but ultimately pure-of-heart casualties as they reflect on their sad, wasted lives?
