Title: 24 July 2007: it's 1987
Post by: mshray on July 24, 2007, 10:03:17 AM
a Tammy Faye tribute of sorts is promised, excerpts from Ted Koppel on Nightline.

New Order "True Faith" is indeed a most excellent TotHK.

ETA: and I suppose it will be a good segue into Jim & Tammy talking about theirs, too.

a Tammy Faye tribute!


Well, you knew this would happen sometime this week. He replayed her Morning Show appearance yesterday.  He's just WAY too easy on her ("I'd like to think she wasn't aware of Jim's scams" he said yesterday -- sure, Dave).  I mean, it's nice that she hugged AIDS patients etc but PTL made LOTS of money off a lot of poor, trusting old ladies.  And that buys a lot of mascara.

They'll trip on, er, thru Ted's wire.

"I'm no angel..."

Heh heh, yeah, that's putting it mildly.

ok, the first clip of Jim & Tammy leads into Gregg A. "I'm No Angel".

I guess Dave is trying to show some perspective.

ETA: Does anyone think any other radio deejay is doing anything remotely like this for the memory of Tammy Faye?

yeah, me neither.  Dave's one of a kind for sure.

I'd guess we're going to hear Devil's Radio in here somewhere, except we heard it in the last '87 set too, iirc. (Which doesn't mean we won't hear it again.)

C'est la 'trina!

It's clear that Falwell was a FAR bigger scumbag than either of the Bakkers -- he saw an opportunity and swooped in. What a fucking hypocrite. But that doesn't change what Jim & Tammy did while building Six Flags Over Jesus.  Organized religion is (to me) the real abomination here. Sorry for the reverse proselityzing.

Hmmm. Showdown at Big Sky--perhaps portending a face off between Falwell and Jim & Tammy?

No argument from this Lutheran, and you wouldn't get much from either of my seminary-graduate parents either.

other appropriate '87 hits:

"Didn't we Almost Have it All?"
"Heaven is a Place on Earth"
"It's a Sin"

duh -- "All that Heaven Will Allow"  BOS Broooce.  Wish Dave'd play the Mavericks' version in '93 or '94.

I think I'll vote for Bruce Springsteen "All That Heaven Will Allow", a fairly rare track from Dave.

Yeah, and history says it and this, the first single, came out in Aug of 1986.  Not the first time Dave has played this in an '87 set, iirc.

It's been doing that all morning--I think one of their CD players is having a little trouble.

It was a single in '87 -- not a big hit, but it enabled Warners to flog it for a Record of the Year Grammy nom the year after the LP won Album of the Year -- and it got the nom, in that infuriating Grammy way.

Well, it can certainly  be said that Graceland had the 'legs' to make it into '87

Great Pretenders tune now!

BOS2 "Battleship Chains". Well, the J&T stuff made an '87 set (the most egregiously Katrina-laden year, bar none) almost bearable.
