And we start with a Raspberry Beret.
ETA: An 80s set was a foregone conclusion today. Normally I'd cringe at the thought, but the last few mid-80s sets Dave's come up with have tossed up the usual formula quite nicely. So I'm kinda curious to see what else we hear.

Nice start -- BOS. Has it really been 6 weeks since we did '85?

Never mind about 10at10, Rumsfeld is stepping down! This is a good day, amigos.

It's a perfect way to make the girls (and boys) go crazy!
Watching Bush at the podium now. Hard to not slip into Schadenfreude.

even Scritti Katrinni sounds good this morning!

I bet he wishes he could have "a margin of error for two".

I'm curious to see how the GOP will try to spin this one.

he can always turn to Ted Faggard for comfort :roll:
-
Cars working formula, albeit well, on "Tonight She Comes," their last major hit.
-
BOS #2 Pete. Loved this whole album then & think it still stands up quite well.
-
second-hand BOS. Rob gave us Roger, Dave brings the Pete.
-
That Sexy Katrina!

He's been predictably defensive, no jaw-dropper quotes of note so far, but he keeps reverting to the same spin quote for Rummy's departure: "fresh perspective." He attributed the GOP losses to impatience with Iraq and a few unethical sens/reps (paraphrased). Jim Rutenberg of the NYT just asked him point blank if we'll see a change in his leadership style, and he's incapable of anaylzing these winds of change at a level deeper than "they won, and so we've gotta work with 'em."
-
Aaargh. He looks forward to turning the war on terror into a "Cold War". This is painful. What's playing?
-
It sounds better than usual today, but I still have to give a WOS vote to "All She Wants to Do Is Dance." In part because he commits one of my pet peeves, rhyming a word with itself: "Don't come back here Yankee/But if I ever do/I'll bring more money/Cause all she wants to do..."

The Chron's Marc Sandalow has an interesting take on the Virginia US senate race--says it might be in the Dems' best interest if they lost--a 50/50 split would keep Cheney glued to the podium to vote on any ties, and force Bush to take a high profile stand on any major issues.

Henley and another song rife with Rummy references.

Henley wrote this song about Reagan's foreign policy, but it could just as easily be about Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld today.

what started promisingly has become a parade of the Usual Suspects. Enjoyable, certainly, but Rob's '85 set earlier today was light-years ahead of this one. Makes me wanna :cry:

...and with my 6000th post, I'd like to dedicate this Godley & Creme song to Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Pat Robertson, et al.
-
Segueing from Back to the Future to Foreigner didn't work. But the song is a sledgehammer of sorts for me, or at least one of the songs I remember most vividly in '85. "Easy Lover" was out at the same time IIRC, with "We Built This City" following soon after. I was listening to a LOT of Top 40 radio at this time, including Casey's Weekly (and dude, thanks for the tip on the AT40 rebroadcasts on satellite, I hope to check those out!).
-
my favorite line from a movie chock full of 'em...
"There's that word again, 'Heavy'. Why is everything so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?"
Can't even say why that slays me, but it does.
VHM Foreigner. Showing Styx the right way to do a power ballad.

Happy 6000! I'll be passing the 5000 barrier by mid-month. Amused that you're 16.66% more verbose than me. :D

Between Mike & I we have more than 1/2 of all posts, but by himself he has more than 1/3. So what's verbose squared?
Math pedant: I'm 20% more verbose than you, you're 16.66% less verbose than I am.

BOS3 to this, a superb power ballad (obviously the gospel choir helps). LOVE the dance mix of the Wynonna cover version from a year or so back.

I don't take the second incidence of "do" as a rhyme with the first--it just doesn't fit with the meter of the verse--the last line doesn't really rhyme with anything. (A case could be made that "all she wants to do is dance" is intended to rhyme with itself though.) Here's the entire lyrics for your analysis:
They're pickin up the prisoners
And puttin em in a pen
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
Rebels been rebels
Since I don't know when
And all she wants to do is dance
Molotov cocktail the local drink
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
They mix em up right
In the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is dance
Crazy people walkin round with blood in their eyes
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
Wild-eyed pistols wavers who ain't afraid to die
And all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat
Comin off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
Well the government bugged the men's room
In the local disco lounge
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
To keep the boys from sellin
All the weapons they could scrounge
And all she wants to do is dance
But that don't keep the boys from makin a buck or two
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
The still can sell the army
All the drugs that they can do
And all she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Well we barely make the airport
For the test plane out
As we taxied down the runway
I could hear the people shout
The said, "don't come back here Yankee"
But if I ever do
I'll bring more money
Cause all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Never mind the heat
Comin off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
All she wants to do is dance

BOS Julian. This is a zeitgeist track for me, listening to this LP in the little loft apartment I shared with my first serious girlfriend, situated directly above the local Domino's franchise serving our college.

thanks for the lyrics -- one of Henley's better efforts on a really superb album.
people complained about Foreigner today but not about "Babe" yesterday?? WTF???

My favorites from that album were "Valotte" and "Jesse," though the latter hasn't aged well. "Say You're Wrong" was pretty cool too.

I was about to say!!

ROTFL! Annalisa just followed JCM's "Authority Song" with a clip of Cartman saying "You will respect mah authori-tah!"
-
BONUS! Smiths, "How Soon is Now?" for the 2nd time today.
I'd like to dedicate this to Ted Haggard. "I am human and I need to be loved... just like everybody else does..."

There are a lot of Republicans outside the White House who are happy he's gone.

Is it me or does he sound a lot like his dad?

There was some question at the time as to just how much he was trying to sound like him/playing it up. Some people found it charming; others thought it a tad creepy.
