And I'll add a minority VHM for "Emotional Rescue", which I find to be goofy fun, precisely because of Mick's Marvin Gaye-meets-the Bee Gees vocal that everyone else hates.

Man, that Springsteen tune takes me back. Great lead-off trackfor this set.

And meanwhile, Mick wants to be our knight in shining armor, riding across the desert, on a fine arab charger, yeah yeah, we've heard it all before.

And Bowie's going on about Fashion. Love the guitars on this cut.

Thursday morning -- 6am flight, arrive in NYC around 5 EDT.  Been checking weather.com daily, looks like pleasantly warm and not too humid for the most part.  As long as the 2 ballgames aren't rained upon.

BOS to JLSO, but I'm docking Dave a point for omitting Yoko's wishing bell at the start of the track.

I guess he thought the abrupt cut from Koppell-in-mid-sentence to Lennon's vocal was more visceral.

Thanks, bub!  In addition to the baseball, Gaz & I may get to see Southside Johnny on Sat nite at BB King's niteclub. Quite the lineup there this week, including: a Summer of Love show with Jefferson Starship/Big Brother/Quicksilver; the English Beat; and -- OMG! -- the Strawbs!

Have a great trip. I'll get a taste of NY on Sunday. Gonna check out the Yanks. Giants MUST win eventually. They're having quite a nasty losing streak.

At least I'll get to see the Giants on TV since they're playing those nasty Yanks.

I keep hoping too, but it's going to be tough to turn it around against the Yanks. A month ago maybe, but they seem to have turned things around a bit, in the way the Giants haven't. Not writing the season off yet (far too early for that), but they need a big shock to the system.

Too bad Aurilia just went on the DL, I'm sure he'd have enjoyed playing his hometown nemeses.

Rich gets major points for the best at-bat music choices I know of: A3's Sopranos theme and the Beasties' "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn".  (Gaz will be disappointed to hear that Ryan Klesko's is the theme from Dukes of Hazzard)
