I'll give Mr. Myrick a very enthusiastic BOS.  I still like to hear "Wind Power", but it's too close to being a Katrina to get a vote.

I'll BOS Thomas.  I dig his sound.  And I like Martha too.  I don't know what you all hate about her.

In a totally unrelated note, a quote, probably from a movie, just popped into my head.  I don't know what it is, or where it came from, but it's been bugging me for years.  I always imagine Eddie Murphy saying it, but I can't confirm it.  Anybody recognize it?

the two best alliterative lines in rock in the same week!

VHM Mr Henley, still relevant.

and speaking of, Olbermann did another brilliant ripping-Dubya-a-new-asshole commentary last nite.

hey POC, you just passed the 4k post mark, congrats!  You're probably the only one of us who doesn't make the majority of their posts while loafing at work (well maybe Gaz is in the same boat).

Anyone have any idea what the lyrics are about?

Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now

I made a break I ran out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures
They give your game away yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to stay

Please please tell me now
Is there something I should know
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear war
'Cause the dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I got so far before I had to say

Please please tell me now
Is there something I should know
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cause you don't let it show

Please please tell me now
Is there something I should know
Please please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow
Please please tell me now
Is there something I should know
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way

I don't hate Martha, but that song is overplayed.  If Dave played "Danger", "I Remember the Nights" or "Shame" I'd give any of them a BOS vote.

Oh man, I have been jonesing for the Burning Sensations all week.  BOS #4 & a big ol' proxy for Rod.

Before posting I'd written "Dude, you're thinking about it too much--it's a pop song" but deleted it, figuring Mr. Natural got my point across succinctly enough. So we were more closely jinxed than you realize.

can't help noticing how much the henley tune stands out in this set. brings some color to the grey of the rest of the music (even if it is a nice shade of pale). seemed he jumped onto the mid-80's sound before anyone else. well, henley and duran duran. but moreso henley.

I'm witcha on that.

Jon Stewart was talking about the black Republican running for governor of Ohio -- another former Sec'y of State who fiddled with election returns -- and called him "a former secretary of state who's actually more do-able than Katherine Harris". The audience went wild. And Stewart says, "so... you hate him ... but you'd (bleep) him???"

A vote for the Motels here, too.  Liked it then, it's okay now.  Not WOS material, anyway.
