tee hee!  It would be nice to hear Graham Parker's version sometime, tho'.  Speaking of, KPIG has been playing Parker's cover of "Pink Cadillac" lately.

BOS Joe Walsh, "In the City"  

(I know it's the Iggles, but I seem to like Joe solo better these days)

Oh man, it's hot.  I mean, it's hot.  (Insert witty Rodney Dangerfield Joke here)   Greg Kihn was sounding good there.  But Joe Jackson is always a contender for BOS for me, especially stuff from Look Sharp.

As well you should--Joe rocked, the Eagles, not so much.

BOS Joe Jackson--for the second time this morning!

And it's a balmy 65 here in San Francisco's Inner Sunset District! (Working at home today.)

I never thought Ian Gomm sounded like Greg Kihn until you said that, but I can see it totally.  Especially listening with headphones.

Ian Gomm?  I really didn't know.  He's not one of those people you think about.

I won't give it a BOS, but I do think it's a good, sad song.  And I dig "The Core" too.  Zero did a great version of it too.  Ever heard of them?  Included John Cippolina from Quicksilver Messenger Service among others.  I have their (I think only) LP.
ETA:  Looks like I was misinformed about Zero.  They had a few albums.

Neither--1977, from the Let It Flow album. Peaked at #12.

It's funny, but here is another disco song that I haven't heard for years, and I have to hear it in a differnet way than I did when I was 16.  I mean back then in the Midwest I just had no idea that disco music intesected in anyway whatsoever homsexuality.  I figured this song was either about someone too young to date, or a Romeo & Juliet sort of scenario.

Kind of hard to prevent with camera phones these days.  I got some shots from that R.E.M. show where I was sitting next to you, but they didn't come out well enough to be worth mentioning at the time.

Each show is different. The artist gives the yay or nay about photography. Camera phones are always OK as there is no flash. I'm waiting to learn if Roger Waters will allow pix at Shoreline.

Don't hold your breath--Waters is one uptight SOB, although I imagine there'll be some good photo fodder at that show.

ZZTop, "Cheap Sunglasses"

...and he went with ZZ Top. I hate it when that happens.

Anyone recall the parody on The Logical Song dealing with the late-70s fuel shortage?  Dave played a bit of it during the break prior to actually playing TLS in today's set. I hadn't thought of it in ages, and now it's bugging the hell out of me.

Pretty decent set today. Wish I'd paid more attention this morning, but work was being work.

Yes, I do remember it -- done by the remnants of a British group called the Kursaal Flyers, iirc.  I have a fab forgotten 45 of theirs from '76 or so called "Little Does She Know".
