"Dirty Work" form the Dan's debut.  BOS #1

Like a castle in his corner in a medieval game, I foresee terrible trouble, but I stay here just the same.

Bad Co "Bad Co." leads off, but kinda late.

"Looking For Clues" is tune #2.  Also BOS #2 after U2 "I Will Follow".

ETA: Iguess it's 1980 after all, but I always had "I Will Follow" as an '81 tune.

GFR gets a VHM for tune #2, WAAB.  Tune #1, for those who didn't go to the KFOG thread first was Free "All Right Now".

Pretty illustrious career.  Nommed for three Oscars, won two, and all three produced Oscar-winning lead performances:  Won Adapted Screenplay for To Kill A Mockingbird, in which Gregory Peck won his only Oscar. Won Original Screenplay for Tender Mercies, in which Robert Duvall won his only Oscar (Duvall had debuted in Mockingbird, and Foote wrote this screenplay specifically for him).  Also nommed for adapting his own play The Trip To Bountiful, in which Geraldine Page won her only Oscar (on her 8th nom!).

He won a Pulitzer in 1995 for his play "The Young Man From Atlanta, and an Emmy in 1997 (at age 81) for his second adaptation of Falkner's story Old Man (his first adaptation had been nominated for an Emmy 42 (!) years earlier).  I've read that story, but never saw the TV movie.

Not bad.

Just tuned in while checking where the nearest DMV is so I can renew my license, and while I'm searching up pop Prince, "When You Were Mine".  Nice.

KFOG's 10@10 / 17 February 2009--it's 1987

If the next song is Robbie Neville, we can forget it.

This is not the 2nd, not the 3rd, but 4th time this set has been played, and it is as full of Katrina's as it is possible to be. YIKES!!

KFOG's 10@10 / 2 February 2009: a "classic" from 1977
« on: February 02, 2009, 09:54:57 AM »
I heard the promo over the weekend, with Webster saying Dave would take us somewhere - pretty sure it was 1977, but can't recall exactly. 

Definitely not 90's though. 

That I would have remembered.

ETA: guess I remembered correctly!

KFOG's 10@10 / 26 January 2009: a "classic" from 1989
« on: January 26, 2009, 09:52:09 AM »
I heard the promo by Webster over the weekend.  So I'm assuming it's a classic.

ETA:  When I fired up the KFOG player RHCP's were on & the player indicated Travelling Wilburys "Last Night" was 'upcoming'.  And I thought, hmmm, sure hope whoever picked the set isn't about to give us some duplication.  But then Dire Straits "So Far Away" came on instead, and nothing is in the 'upcoming' slot, which I take it to mean that this is the last song before the set. 

So does that mean we can count on some TW's?

Bruce Hornsby doesn't get a lot of love, but The Valley Road is a lovely song with some really nifty ivory work.  BOS since it is 1988 after all.

Just heard the promo by Webster.

Look out for Tears For Fears.  Between them "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" & "The Working Hour" have been TotHK's 7 times in around 50 sets.
