You’ve read where lightening doesn’t strike the same place twice, right? Well, without hesitation I state that if it wasn’t for the one/two punch of ‘Fox on the Run’ and ‘Ballroom Blitz’, you wouldn’t be reading this blog right now. Although released a few years apart, in the States as singles they seem to have come out one on top of the other–or at least the AM stations out of New York City were playing these two back to back. Both tracks kicked me in the ass as a wee lad. Long before I was listening to The Beatles, it was Sweet and Queen on constant 45RPM rotation…which must serve to explain my awkward fringe and octave-penetrating falsetto. (Hmm.)
