just as predicted: the year of Mrs Doubtfire. Vote early and often for Tina Turner's "I Don't Wanna Fight" (Thanks, Cap'n)

I should include Lulu's original version in a '93 set.

wow -- I knew she co-wrote, but didn't know she'd recorded it. Easily one of my fave 45s that year, and I was shocked that it wasn't nominated for the Best Song Oscar.

Lulu's version was the B-side of her single "How 'Bout Us" (a cover of the 1981 Champaign song).

uber-LN Jimmy Cliff to start. This has been in constant KFOG rotation for 21 years.

TOTHK - Mrs. Doubtfire "Hellooooooo!" ---> Jimmy Cliff "I Can See Clearly Now"

Depeche Mode "I Feel You"

Depeche Mode "I Feel You"
a relative rarity, if not a bustout, I'm thinking. Not my fave of their oeuvre
ETA:she's played it 3 or 4 times, it turns out.
-
Hothouse Flowers "Thing Of Beauty"
(http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mT4Yr5QgAQaUiUl33boaJbA.jpg)

Hothouse Flowers "Thing Of Beauty"
not exactly rare but I'll give it a VHM.
-

No kidding. Not too mention that this song was LN to me the first time I heard it (I have an aversion to covers that don't differ too much from the original).
-
Depeche Mode "I Feel You"
a relative rarity, if not a bustout, I'm thinking. Not my fave of their oeuvre
Has "Walking In My Shoes" made an appearance. I'd agree that this is post-peak.
-
Mrs. Doubtfire ---> Sting "Heavy Cloud No Rain"

I kinda like Hothouse Flowers, but the repeating guitar line in this grates on me after the first couple bars, and then it never ever stops.
-
VHM der Stingle, "Heavy Cloud, No Rain"
-
VHM der Stingle, "Heavy Cloud, No Rain"
Heh. Certainly not an obvious choice from that album

Blind Melon "No Rain"

Mr Hoon wants to keep his cheeks dry today -- pull up yer pants, bub. uber-uber-LN2 Blind Melon another one that hasn't been off KFOG since '93. Heard it on the morning show yesterday.

I wonder how our rock friend is holding up so far.

Belly "Gepetto"
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c2/Belly_Star.jpg)
Certainly inidicative of lite alt at the time, and not "Feed The Tree".
-
well at least Belly wasn't "Feed the Tree". LN3: Mr Cheekbones.
-
I wonder how our rock friend is holding up so far.
he's been incredibly pissy lately, even for him.

Maybe Macca will perform a 45 minute version of "Let It Be" to cheer him up. ;D

Will AL surprise us all with "I Don't Wanna Fight" as the closer?

I'd like to think we have a 50-50 chance -- either she will or she won't.

Mrs. Doubtfire ---> Smashing Pumpkins "Today"

Today was NOT the greatest I have ever known. Yet another LN.

I'll state that this remains my favorite album from them.

Chris Farley SNL "Jack squat" "van down by the river" to close it out

It seems she felt playing anything but mellow and/or downbeat songs would be disrespectful to the dead.

This was the most snoozeworthy set in a while.

And I think that unless it's 9/11 or something like that, this trend needs to stop.

DM had it right: we don't do "death" on 10@10 (although he broke that rule a couple of times, most memorably for Robin Gibb and George Harrison).
It's fine to play a few clips or a song in tribute to the departed, but to give the whole set a maudlin, funereal tone is not good, sez I.
-
I'm a little slow this morning: when people on FB were voting Robin BOS, for a second I thought they were talking about Robin S. or Robyn. "Did I miss Show Me Love?"

Per AL on FB, BOS Big Head Todd; VHM U2

And, if memory serves, he honored Gibb and Harrison with what were in essence tribute sets.

The fact that there were two major hits entitled "Show Me Love" which were not covers of each other, and by artists with two extremely similar names, less than five years apart, but is not often commented on, is indicative of something, although I'm not sure what.

The first inkling I had that something had happened on 9/11 was the comment Dave made
setting up that morning's 10@10, and the subsequent song list. I still had no idea what it
was until a friend called me and told me to turn on CNN. I had a half-used videotape, so I
stuck it in the VCR and hit record.
I still haven't watched that tape.

Based on Robin's public persona, he would probably have wanted people to party, play upbeat
music, and celebrate his (and their) life.
And why pick 1993? Mrs. Doubtfire is far from his best movie. I'd go for Dead Poets Society,
one of my favorites, but there's Good Morning Vietnam, or Good Will Hunting, or, or... I mean,
check out his filmography just to remind yourself of his work. Just about any actor would be
happy to have such a body of work, let alone someone who is primarily known as a stand-up
comedian. Oh yes, I can guess why Mrs. Doubtfire was chosen -- it's set in San Francisco.
That illustrates the idea that funerals, memorials, tributes, et. al. aren't for the dead, but for
the living.
And then the set closes out with a clip of Chris Farley, who by comparison is largely a
one-dimensional, second tier comedian at best.
(grumble, grumble)
Anyway, I agree. Today's show demonstrates why a whole set shouldn't be dedicated to
one person's memorial, excepting perhaps a handful of truly exceptional muscians.

I agree, too. How about some fun?! I missed the set, and I'm OK with it. I read on GS, I think, that AL put in a Chris Farley clip of some sort. I disagree that Farley was one-dimensional, but I don't get the connection with Robin Williams. I guess both had addiction problems, yeah... In that case, did she play some Belushi, too? What about Mitch Hedberg? OK, enough of that. You get the picture.

Well, Matt Foley (character) first appeared in '93, which was the year of the set.
