I predict "Switchin' to Glide" and something from Empty Glass.

I always love how Ray spits out the "L-O-L-A" in this live version.

"there is a great disturbance in the force"

VHM James Earl Jones.

WKSF (worst Katrina so far): Blondie, "Tide is High".

[Gazoo]

1980 for "The Tide Is High"?  I very much associate this with 1981.  But I just checked Whitburn, and indeed, it debuted in November of '80.  VHM, at any rate, such a brazen and daring arrangement.

BOS Bruce, "Sherry Darling", one of the many tracks on The River that just cried out to be a single, but Columbia really botched things in that dept, IMHO.

[Gazoo]

I think I've hit my tipping point with Ready Freddie: I don't really need to hear this song again for a few years.

S'pose I have too.

Here we go BOS for "Expresso Love".

btw, Gaz, what is your sig quote?  I know Geoff recognized it, but I am still clueless.

talk about Mr Lord God KING Boofoo.  Agreed, and I'll throw in "Another one Bites the Dust", too.

ETA: and lo, here's AOBTD on KFOG at 9:38.

Here's a M3S for the current song:

Expresso Love - Dire Straits
5:15 - The Who
Picasso's Last Words - Paul McCartney & Wings

BOS: Bill Murray's Caddyshack groundskeeper.  I wonder if the character was written that way or if Bill improvised that.

(And I wish "Late in the Evening" had played all the way through instead of just a teaser.)

I'll hang onto "Steve walks warily down the street..." but I really don't need to hear "Under Pressure" since it just makes me think of Vanilla Ice.  Yesterday I heard a new cover of "Under Pressure" & while the deejay said she loved it, I found it utterly unredeeming.

[Gazoo]

Yeah, I'd be stunned if anyone else knew it: It's from Grace Slick's "Theme From the Movie 'Manhole.' "  A 15-minute epic that I'm sure has never been played on commercial radio.  But there are some wonderfully poetic moments in it, including the quoted verse.

Improvised, according to IMDb he almost NEVER recites scripted lines in any of his movies.  He reads the script through several times, but when the director yells "Action!" he says whatever he wants.

That cover is by two modern-rock bands, The Used and My Chemical Romance.  Agreed with your assessment.

Mr Seger gives that haughty bitch what-for in "You'll Accomp'ny Me".
