[Robin Trower - Too Rolling Stoned]

Man I absolutely love this song. I was listening to my mp3 player the other day and when the intro came on it hit me that the inspiration for this song had to come directly from Papa Was a Rolling Stone by the Temptations. Has a very similar bass intro and then the "rolling stone" thing in both song titles. Anyone ever recall reading any comments or interviews with Robin about this being the case? I'd sure love to know...

[Question about a Kansas song]

I've always loved the song Portrait (He Knew) by Kansas but I can't figure out who the song was written about. Can anybody tell me who the subject of the song is?

[Tell Me About Little River Band]

LRB had a lot of really great pop songs. From what I understand they were initially supposed to be the Aussie version of the Eagles. Can't say that they were too much alike with the exception of both having really excellent backing vocals, as did a lot of bands in the 70's which became a lost art a few short years later.
