WOS ATF, the unnecessary English version of "Der Komissar"

While After The Fire's version of 'Der Kommisar' brings back fine memories of '83- the original was cooler.

WOS ATF, the unnecessary English version of "Der Komissar"

Uh, not to put too fine a point on it, but you totally missed the point.  Dave played Reagan's "...and that's why I am supporting legislation in congress to end abortion on demand..." speech and let the clip run over the intro just to make it clear where he stands.

In fact Dave is in full killer segue mode with "Walking In Your Footsteps" follwoing hard on the War Games "Wouldn't you rather play a nice game of Chess?"  "Later, let's play Global Thermonuclear War" clip.

...if we explode the atom bomb, would you say that we are dumg.  We're walking in your footsteps...

So, why exactly was Dave all worked up to get this here 10at10 rollin'? He was acting like this was some big breakthrough set or something.

I mean- it's not bad or anything... but... as we used to say back in '83: "wut-EVERRRRR".

Whatever. My point still stands, great segue or not.

Couldn't Dave had made that point with the original version, too? Or is there something specific in the English lyrics I missed?

See above comment.  He's worked up because he's being POLITICAL.

Expect an AIDS clip soon.

Lovestruck, baby.  Even SRV seems dull today.  VHM but really, I suspect Dave's enjoying himself more than we are today.

BOS Spandau Ballet.  One of the few really gorgeous ballads to come out of New Wave, Culture Club notwithstanding.  Listening to Marvin, all night long...

Hey, I'm willing to admit my sappy side...

I'm with Mike & Beej on this one. For whatever reason, this one rings "True" with me.

But my BOS vote goes to REM. A very proto-MTV sort of set today.

IMHO, compared to the cheezy power ballads and truly sappy MOR dreck of that decade ("I've Had the Time of My Life", anyone?) "True" really stands out and above as a piece of songwriting craft.
