Song of the Day 5/14: Thompson Twins, “Doctor! Doctor!”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has gotten on Trump’s nerves for weeks now, and even a reporter for the Associated Press noticed that it’s making the Man-Baby Menace furious. Has Fauci noticed? Can’t he see Trump is burning, burning?

This was the Thompson Twins’ follow-up to their monster 1984 hit, “Hold Me Now.”
So many great ‘doctor’ songs. Here’s one I like that’s off the beaten track:

Procol Harum is another band that belongs in the Hall of Fame but won’t get considered because of its prog rock taint.
I suppose prog is due for a revival. I discovered progressive rock as a teenager in its waning days around 1977. I had randomly bought an 8-track double album from a discount bin (“Foxtrot” and “Nursery Crymes” by Genesis), and played it until it broke. When I got to college, people had to tell me prog was no longer cool. Although I never liked the overblown late-stage prog.

Always liked this version.
