Song 817: This week the playlist showcases I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall & Oates, written by Daryl Hall, John Oates and Sara Allen, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. About three years after I had found a comfortable and affordable spot to reside in Oakland, CA, in September of 1988, the home's owner had decided to sell the place, and luckily for me, one of the occupants at a six-bedroom residence in Berkeley filled with my musical friends moved out, and I soon moved into that available room. A few months after I made that move, a duo with names that sounded like a corridor and grains had their harmonies inform us about their inability to accept an expectation. At that point, I actually paid a lot more attention to my fellow songwriters and performers in that Berkeley circle, but I did still sometimes give a listen to the radio as well. Back then, I had a strong attraction to a female member of the Berkeley circle, and I felt ready and willing to do almost anything that she might want me to, but fairly soon, I realized I had to accept the fact that she did not go for that.
