Two 80s sets in a row--if only today's turns out as well as yesterday's did.

Road to Hell, followed by Fascination Street. Not an auspicious start.

well, I just had a 20-minute meeting and I don't feel like I've missed anything earth-shattering.  This Petty seems like a lesser-heard one tho'.

me neither, but it was probably the highlight of the set.  Loves me some Waterboys & Love & Rockets, but these are awfully predictable, if not out right Katrinas.

This was music from the worst period in KFrOG's history.  Is this Whitesnake?  Man, I can't believe they were playing that crap.  I won My Three Songs way back then and had to go into the station to pick up my booty.  I wrote a letter asking how they could be playing Whitesnake and left it with them.  The format did change eventually.  I think.

figures. even tho' the song was new to me, the group is still a Morey mainstay.

VHM Indigo Girls -- anything not "Closer to Fine" is, er, fine.

wow, they were really playing that stuff then?  That must've been Burkhart/Abrams' doing.  they consulted KFOG for their first 7 or so years.

Warrant, not Whitesnake, but what's the diff?

Whitesnake would be a welcome improvement over Warrant (imho), still dreck, but not uber-dreck.

I feel a bit kinder to Whitesnake after seing Mr. Coverdale in the Mexico City airport last September and having a beer with his bass player.

That Del Amitri tune must be on the same album as "Kiss This Thing Goodbye", but you know, when I called in my vote I was trying to ask about the Nirvana song.  That's a hell of a break out actually.

I think the Nirvana mighta been a breakout, but who was playing that LP in '89?
