Title: 4 Jan 2016: it's... 1981
Post by: RGMike on January 02, 2016, 11:50:10 AM
"Raiders are Super Bowl champs in the year Serena Williams was born" sez the promo. At least they won't be pre-empting 10@10 during A-to-Z, as they did one time during the DC era, so there's that. But Tues morning is the big Bottle Rock lineup announcement, so a shameless self-promotional set that day is a possibility.

And we start with... "Abacab". Anyone know if they played this in A-to-Z earlier?

Coincidentally, 1981 was the answer on the Pop Quiz at 8:15...

At first I thought this was an anomaly in the alphabet sequence, but now I remember that album being huge in 81. Probably huger in 82.

Interesting that the set kicks off with back-to-back hits by reinvented British prog bands.

Clip (something sitcom clip about psychiatry)

That was Alex (Judd Hirsch) Rieger consoling Latka (Andy Kauffman) Gravas from Taxi. 

..one of the best sitcoms OAT, and some would say the best.
