so, this morning in class, I said "Let's Go!" and one of my students said there's a song like that.  I'm thinking he's talking about some gang-bangin' rap song, but then he says the song is by The Cars!  Pretty funny, eh?

I just checked, and I betcha no one can name even 1 of the 3 biggest Katrina's of 1979.

Sniff is a runner-up.  He is no elite.

Stumper!  I'm surprised Hot Chocolate is remotely close; I don't recall hearing "Every 1's a Winner" all that often.  "Coo-ba," I can see, though.  Can't even hazard a good guess.

Dave hasn't treated us to this in almost 4 years.

But an even bigger believe-it-or-not, "Head Games" is a bonafide Bustout.

Considering how much thieving the Stones did in their formative years, I'd like to think they let this slide as homage/tribute.

As usual, the one I think is easiest turns out to be toughest: "Cruel To Be Kind".

I figured no one would guess "Jane" & "Southbound Suarez".

I didn't look at that picture very closely until now.  Why the fuck is there a holodeck in the showroom?  And doesn't the shadow image look like a crane just ate the driver of another car there?

I think it looks like someone's pouring gasoline directly into the seats.  That "holodeck" looks like a space-age wine rack.

I can only assume it has something to do with the Wrath of Kahn.  The pic is from 86, WOK was about '83.  Can't even guess about the shadow image.  Very strange ad.
