the 80's were just mean to people. killed their talent! :)


if you mean Mr Joel... well, I think he did quite nicely with Nylon Curtain & Innocent Man, but yes, the early part of the decade was when he succumbed to his worst excesses.  He had a major chip on his shoulder -- he wanted to be taken seriously as a rocker ("I'm better than Bruce") rather than the excellent pop songwriter that he was. I remember when "Glass Houses" came out, the critics were quite harsh; Rolling Stone said that if they gave polyester albums rather than gold & platinum, then that's what "Glass Houses" would deserve.

this version of Sniff'n'the Tears "Drivers Seat" sounds like a mix I've never heard before... a 12" version?

Am I correct in assuming this board would cost us a lot less than the old one?  Not that I'm a cheapskate or anything...

Glad I switched to DDT  :lol:

Seriously, Dave's obsession with that piece of fluff borders on the unhealthy.

who sings that song? "never-ending love..."


Delaney & Bonnie (& Friends, feat. Mr Clapton)

Last nite's Joel Selvin show was "Eric Clapton, Sideman", records where Slowhand was a gun-for-hire.

can I change the topic of your first post to include 1992, so the thread makes more sense?


Sure!

reg is afraid of a little 80's prog? :) you're missing van halen - dancing in the streets. and santana's 'hold on' sounded great!


I fear no music!  But the Asia record is pretty wretched, and we've discussed my aversion to Rush many times.  The only thing that would've been worse would've been "Leave It" by Yes :-)

In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Memoies of Johnny

Well Goodman didn't have a lot to say about Carson because he's not old enough to have watched Carson as a kid. (Pause while we reflect on our own mortality. Ahem.)

I remember what a treat it was to get to stay up and watch Johnny -- it was one of the reasons I looked forward to summer vacation.

My favorite Carson joke:  He had Don Rickles (a frequent guest) on one night back in the '70s. Rickles was famous for a number of failed TV series and even more unsold pilot episodes (this was pre-"CPO Sharkey", the closest he ever came to a hit show).  The subject came up and Carson said "you've had your hand in more pilots than a Air Force proctologist".

The most oft-repeated Carson anecdote is the one about Eva (or maybe Zsa Zsa) Gabor. This was also early '70s. Supposedly she came out and sat on the couch with her pet cat and said to Johnny, "would you like to pet my pussy?" To which Carson replied "You'll have to move the cat."

Now, a friend of mine in high school saw that show and came in the next day and told us the story. I have no reason to believe he made it up, and there are many many people who SWEAR they saw it too. It's in "urban legend" territory. But over the years NBC and Carson's PR people have consistently denied that it ever happened. Here's a link to an Urban Legend website page about the story:

No, that's really what he says.

See the bubble-headed bleach blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye...

Yikes! Asia, "Only Time Will Tell", followed by Rush, "New World Man".  Think I'll drift back to KFOG to hear what Tim Goodman has to say about Carson...
