Monday Morning On The Radio

tr1 · #1 08-11-2009, 09:13 AM

There's a station here in L.A., 100.3, that plays a really wide variety of music. And they play a lot of album cuts not singles. This morning about 5:45am I was flipping around and they were playing Monday Morning. It was the first time I'd ever heard it on the radio. I must say it was quite the treat and for some reason hearing it on the radio gave it a little excitement to hearing a song I've heard thousands of times before.

99.5 The Mountain ("Mountain of Classics") plays The Chain, Gypsy and Tusk quite a bit....and last night while driving home from work...."Monday Morning" serenaded me as I coasted down the hill... It was a nice end to a stressful day and yes, it was Monday.

From a List of 14 Songs for the Mondays, Death and Taxes by Carmel Lobello, January 7, 2013

From Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled 1975 album, “Monday Morning” is kind of an up-beat tune about love fading between Friday and Monday. “Fleetwood Mac” was the band’s first album with Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and Stevie Nicks on vocal. It preceded the crazy party that was “Rumours” and the sad, dreamy comedown that was “Tusk,” so if you want to look at 1975 to 1979 for Fleetwood Mac as a drug trip, “Fleetwood Mac” is the come-up album. “Monday,” one of Lindsey’s best songs from that period, really hones in on that vibe.

Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation, but I never thought this song was about a love affair that faded away over one weekend.

It homes in, not hones in.

You home in on a target or desired outcome, in this case an upbeat vibe. You could hone (sharpen or improve) your skill at creating the vibe. But you don't "hone in" on something....unless this mistake becomes so common that it will eventually be acceptable.

Sorry for being one of those grammar nerds that everybody hates.

Sorry, my bad! At least I know the correct usage now

I agree with the other guy. It's totally acceptable. You might be correct MikeInNv, I don't know. But in the century, anything goes.

I hear Monday Morning once in the while here on the radio.The stations here are great playing the classic FM/Stevie tunes. but they suck on playing any new stuff.

WDRC 102.9
WHCN the River 105.9
WPLR 99.1 Rock.

Are the best stations here in CT to play FM/Stevie tunes.

And actually, the song talks about changes in love from Monday to Friday, not the other way around! "monday morning you sure look fine/by Friday I've got traveling on my mind"

Which I've always taken as being about the ups and downs in his and Stevie's relationship at the time.... sorta like, one day I think you're the greatest, and a few days later you are so irritating me I'm ready to walk out... except "I'll be there if you want me to/no one else that could ever do" and of course we know he never did leave her, she really was the only one that would ever do for a long time even after they split.

yes - thank you!

so trilogy of relationship falling apart -

Monday Morning - "you only want me when i get over you"
Second Hand News - "i'm just second hand news" but "when times go rough why don't you lay me down in tall grass..."
Never Going Back Again.

i think he was talking about it in some radio interview from several years ago.
