Jefferson Starship - Freedom at Point Zero

If push ever came to shove and I had to honestly list my favourite songs "Jane" would be near the top. I can't really describe what it is about the song that just crushes all my buttons, but it did - and still does. When this came out in '79 the sheer number of killer songs that were out that year was astounding (look it up, make your own list). The album though was a different thing all together. Freedom At Point Zero was an album a buddy of mine had, and I remember listening to it once . Expecting more than it could possibly deliver I was profoundly disappointed. I don't know if I even made it to the second side. I borrowed the record and put the song on a mix tape, and then gave it back - he didn't want it back, but I didn't want it either. When the band had another hit with "Find Your Way Back" a couple years later I never even bothered trying to find the record ... I had written the band off. Fickle I know, but my roots didn't go back to...
