1. I really liked this song. Don't know why. but I connected.

2. I was always running second in junior high school. I identified with that song at 15.

3. There was some seriously great 4 vocal harmonies in this band.

Like, "Monday, Monday" isn't a song you haven't related to, in some moments of your life? It's imprinted on me, in a good way, over the past 55 years or so.

On edit, I thought the Beach Boys attained this level of vocal congruence. Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons were pretty close too.

What happened to that musical moment?

4. When people stopped taking it seriously past keeping it sellable. When the producer and board mixer ...

... had a set of aesthetics that might not have been the same as the bands became the filter.

Like around the fourth big album and it becomes formula for everybody.

5. I think we lived in the sweet spot.

Every week. maybe more often, new music happened (on FM radio) ' It was an audio wonderland.

6. This whole album was Great!
