Floyd, Eagles & Cheap Trick are promised.  Hope it's more interesting than that...

Ditto.

This ain't no Mudd Club
Or CBGBs
I ain't got time for that now...

I remember being in the car with a friend of mine when we both heard this song for the first time -- we laughed out loud at that line.

Mudd Club?  Not familiar.  I always assumed DB was just singing "night club."  What was the Mudd Club's schtick?

it was another hot-at-the-time punkish venue. Forget exactly where it was downtown. A very knowing 1979 Noo Yawk reference, in other words.

Y'all need to hear Dusty Springfield's cover of "Spooky" someday.  Makes the ARS look like amateur hour, and this is a good if over-direct cover.

Mike, if you're in SF but in a NY state of mind, and I'm in NY but identifying with Grace Slick, how long before we stage our own little Gift of the Magi and exchange places?

Maybe we should both move to St Louis and split the diff.

wow, Cheap Trick and it's not "I Want You to Want Me". points for that, but I still prefer the studio version of "Surrender".

Dusty can sing the phone book and I'd swoon.

Never heard this "Damned If I Do" -- this isn't Alan Parsons Project, is it?  Got those bombastic Asia keyboards, but I can't place the vox.

When not trying to be Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty could sometimes be seen trying to be Bruce Springsteen.
