Wayne Robins, long ago of Newsday, now with a Substack, gets Gary Cohen on the musical record. 6–July 8: Gary quotes the Mountain's 1970 sludge-rock classic “Missississippi Queen” and says “Mississippi queen, you know what I mean”. He then mentions band leader Leslie West. It didn't stop there. Both the song and West got namechecks on 8/4 and again on 8/17 ( by Gary AND Ron). The booth is weirdly obsessed with Mountain, West, and “Mississippi Queen”. https://pickinguprocks.com/2022/10/10/weekly-new-wonders-playlist-27-of-2022/https://pickinguprocks.com/2022/10/10/weekly-new-wonders-playlist-27-of-2022/ Needless to say, all of this transcends awesome. In the stadium they play the opening bars of Mississippi Queen as "foul-ball music" all the time, which might explain why it comes up so often. But cool piece anyhow
