Sorry, oh jaded one, but not hardly.  :wink:

No Los Lobos, Pretenders or UB40 shows up in a Morey 1990 set, much less those tracks (27 sets total). The Wilburys track is also a Db bustout.  "Istanbul" is a bustout as far as 1990 goes, (it has appeared in the Db only twice & both times in theme sets).  The Sundays, Rembrandts & Gary Moore each appear only twice or thrice.  That leaves only the first two tracks as actual Katrinas (and by no means the most egregious, compared to "Birdhouse...", "Blue Sky Mine", or either Michael Penn track).

Well, I wasn't implying that they were ALL Katrinas  :wink: . That 6 of 10 have been in Morey sets (if not the exact year) tells me "alternative" radio was getting pretty boring in 1990.  At least he avoided Concrete Blonde.

I can see your point, but at the same time 4 bustouts in any given 1990 set is not scarily Morey-esque.  If Dave whips out 4 bustouts, we'll be overjoyed.
