In the fall of 1971, before Oct. 29, I think I remember that Rolling Stone said that the ABB's next album was tentatively going to be called Lightning Rod.

Does anyone know anything about this? Or is it lost in the mists of time?

Thanks.

I herd about this title not long ago, saying it was the original name of Brothers and Sisters.

Hello Billastro,

This topic from eleven years ago might cause a flashback or deja vu experience for you 😉 :

You also brought up that alternative title back then but the following discussion is mainly about another alternative working title. Check it out.

Cheers

No wonder this sounded so familiar. Thanks for the link!

The past is now the present, Nice!!!
I was trying to come up with more about the brothers and sisters title, I think Lightning Rod was the original name
and then changed after Berry's passing.
