That's not saying a whole helluva lot though because you school me on music all the time, which I love. However...I'm pretty sure these dudes have heard that song and ripped that opening right the fuck off, lol

Have a listen

I never put the two together! You ain't kidding!

I'm falling out baby. But I'd be more than happy to deliver the Big Star to you if you get on Dropbox. If you do, drop me a line and I'll upload it for you to download. Fantastic! Very BTO meets CSNY.
Peace bradda!

Don’t remember Big Star though. “Right Here Right Now” gets airplay on the oldies/classic stations in central Ohio.

When songs from your teens/20's are on the "oldies channel"...you're officially old as fuck!!

Everyone from the aforementioned JJ to REM to Replacements to Posies (two of the Posies were in the reincarnation of Big Star that was around in the years prior to Alex Chilton's passing some 6 years ago) to Matthew Sweet to Wilco to Teenage Fanclub ... Hell, the Bangles did a cover of Big Star's 'September Gurls', and of course the theme from That 70's Show by Cheap Trick ...
