Mr. T pities you, fool.

No jokes, no pranks, no whoopie cushions.  Just more good, lost, forgotten music.  That’s how we spend every Monday, April Fools Day or not, at The Nest by pulling another lost classic from DJ Scratchy’s Dusty Vinyl Archive!  Alright, who wrapped the turntable in plastic wrap!?!?

This is the second time AFD has fallen on a Monday since I began the DVA, and for some odd reason there are a lot of songs from the classic rock era to have a variation of the word “fool” in them.  I featured Def Leppard’s lesser known hit “Foolin'” in 2019, and this year I’m going to pick another rocker from a British band that apparently wasn’t a chart-pleaser in the US…

Foghat formed in the early 1970’s, and though they were formed in the UK, they’re much better known in America, where they set up base for much of their 70’s heyday.  However, they weren’t chart darlings at all.  Their biggest and best known hit, 1975’s “Slow Ride,” only made it to #20… and today’s selection “Fool For The City” (from the same year and album) finished just outside the Top 40 at #45.  “Fool” is definitely their second best known song to me, and I was surprised it didn’t do so well with the fools at Billboard…

I’ll have another…….. interesting classic next Monday!
