This song from a San Francisco group, It’s A Beautiful Day, got a lot of airplay on album rock stations. It was written while the band was broke and stuck in Seattle during a typical gloomy winter. According to Wikipedia, when rock promoter Bill Graham was negotiating to have the Grateful Dead perform at Woodstock, he also wanted them to take one of two other SF bands. It came down to a coin flip and It’s A Beautiful Day lost out to...Santana. Ponder the ramifications of THAT.
