Title: 16 May 2014: it's... 1981
Post by: RGMike on May 15, 2014, 03:31:16 PM
Could this be our first week without a theme set in over a month? A Soul Patrol would be nice. But an early-'80s set would seem likely.

ETA: and I was right: it's '81.

But we got two last week, so it averages out. ;)

Just scanned thru the requests and was amused to see some random (non-GS) foghead harshing on another for requesting Joan Jett, saying he heard it all the time on other stations. But what did he ask for? Tom Petty, The Waiting.

Ahem, sir, you seem to be sporting as dark a paintjob as Ms. Kettle.

true. But I berated one of our own for requesting "Magnificent 7", one of the most-played '81 tracks and pretty much the ONLY tune from Sandinista! we ever get. I'd lurve to hear "Washington Bullets".

And a subtle in-yo-face to the guy who was harshing on Joan Jett.

Another BOS to JJ, VHM to Bad Mama Jama.

Loved this Winwood album when it came out. (At that time it seemed like he'd been out of sight for *eons*, in reality it was about three years.)

Speaking of Firesign Theatre, I was listening to an archived DM set from 1971 a few weeks ago that included the opening segment from I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus ("Welcome...to the future...") in which the dialogue included an audible "Oh FUCK!" that was not bleeped, even on the replay from which I recorded it.

So, these comments made me look up lyrics, and all the sites I saw had this line "I must be deaf on the telephone."  I'd never heard that, and eventually found some legit sheet music on sale, and could read in the preview files "I must be there on the telephone."  Gee, I guess not everything you read on the internet is true!

It seems like the lyric web sites all copy each other.  Whenever I've stumbled upon an error,
all the sites I've checked have the same thing.
