I lol'd at "Yachtly Crew" as a cover band name

As I type this, Paul Davis is whining "I Go Crazy" over our office speakers, which almost made me rethink my stance on yacht rock. I 17'ing hate this song.
I guess like every other era of music, I like most of it, but it can't all be great.

One of my favorite music trivia questions. From Timothy to Escape & Him. How's that for a range?
"Timothy" is a pop rock song recorded by The Buoys as a single in 1970. The song describes a mine cave-in and aftermath, with the implication the two survivors cannibalized their companion, the eponymous Timothy. Written by Rupert Holmes, who also performed piano on the song, "Timothy" was conceived from the band being forced to promote their first single without the aid of their label, Scepter Records. Holmes' solution was to have the song generate attention by depicting a controversial subject.
Despite initial efforts from radio stations to ban the song, "Timothy" proved to be a success for the Buoys. It reached the U.S. Billboard Top 40 chart on April 17, 1971, where it remained on the chart for eight weeks and peaked at #17.
Why you hating on Meridian's own? (I would have lost that dead or alive)
Man I would put Cool Night and Sweet Life right in the middle of Yacht Rock era greatness... but I just can't abide IGC. It probably touches some emotion that's buried deep down in me from my childhood, but that's where I like to keep them.
Is Michael McDonald 100% Caucasian? I need to see his 23andme results
Michael McDonald is Yacht Rock. If you listen to the SiriusXM station I can guarantee every 4th song has Michael McDonald in it as either the singer or backup. He must have sang backup on thousands of songs.
A friend of who used to live by the McDonalds in Tennessee near Nashville said he was a nice guy. He spent a lot of time with his family. I enjoyed that music, and as they said in the preview, the video killed the radio star.

Saw Yacht Rock Revue in Vegas a couple of years ago and even dressed the part. I was walking through the Luxor and Mandalay Bay speaking to everybody like I owned the joints. My gf was walking 5 feet behind me hiding her face in her hands. I couldn't even get her to wear a Gilligan cap.

Define Caucasian...
Btw, I'm not a MM hater, but I often turn off or away from his songs when they come on.
But never Takin it to the Streets. That one is smooth as a fine wine.
one of my best friends is MM 1st cousin. they both grew up in St.Louis. MM is about 20 years older than my friend. my friend talked about going to parties at MM house and the rest of the Doobie Brothers would be there along with Redd Foxx who was also from St. Louis.
