BOS, nice to hear something other than the usual 3 suspects from this LP.

I was hoping for a bad year so I'd have an excuse to get KINK-y, but I'm gonna have to "multitask" today.

Meanwhile, Dave's giving us the Police Zenyatta Mondatta twin-spin: Driven to Tears>When the World is Running Down. If past precedents hold, they'll count as two songs rather than one (which, imo, they should).

The two songs run together on the album, so Dave often plays them back to back. See my post above.

I'll bet the suits at KFOG would love Dave to do a "guess the theme" set once a week (My 10 Songs!) -- probably increases time-spent-listening.

Since I have no idea about the connection & am not real familiar with this song I looked up the lyrics, and this verse kinda got my attention:

So you found a girl
Who thinks really deep thougts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you

I've suggested that to Dave more than once & to put it mildly he didn't go for it.  He said people wouldn't have any patience for it.

Can anyone tell me how Dave chooses which 10 songs he plays?? I know there are songs he plays during these sets that he never would play any other time (the Jackson tune for this set). I've heard songs that never would seen the light of day on KFOG (like why did he play New Kids on the Block one time for a 1989 set??).

The John Lennon song came from an album (well cassette) which was the first one I ever purchased in my life as a 12 year old. I'm not embarassed to admit I never heard of the Beatles prior to Lennon's death. I was one of those kids that people joked in regards to Paul McCartney ("You mean Paul McCartney was in band before Wings?!?!"). I liked the Double Fantasy album (half of it, even back then I thought Yoko Ono was awful).

Dave plays whateverthehell he wants, generally. Whatever moves him. He'll occasionally honor a request/suggestion but mostly he's resistant to such things, especially when framed as "how come you never play...?"  The idea is that 10@10 is beyond the scope of KFOG's format -- a snaposhot of the year in question.
