Title: 5 Feb 2008: Gung Hay Fat Super Tuesday! (1985)
Post by: RGMike on February 05, 2008, 08:02:55 AM
I was hoping for the Mardi Gras set, or maybe a Super Tuesday election set, but with that damn "Thru the wall" thing looming for Friday, we may be stuck with an '80s or '90s year.

I was so caught up in Super Tuesday and my work that I had no idea today was Mardi Gras!  Laissez les bon temps roulez!  (Did I get that right?  My conjugation is fuzzy.)

Leading into the set we're hearing Beds are Burning, which makes a latter 80s set less likely imo. So maybe we're going 90s today?

Yeah, that was kind of creepy.  It made me feel a little funny to think about the president making such a big deal out of a football game.  I think Nixon talking to Buzz Aldrin in space made sense, but congratulating Bill Walsh just seems silly.

Reagan was always pretending to be president.  To this day I wonder which of his inner circle was really his Cheney, his puppeteer.

That clip is why Dave LOVED her.  He thinks that her being nice to AIDS patients makes up for everything else.

Dave, did you know a guy named Jeff Selman in college?  He was in Chris' frosh dorm & after they got reacquainted last fall I also met him & since he's a VC lawyer I asked him for some advice for our start up.  On our last call I segued off-topic to ask him if he'd ever listened to the this song carefully enough to realize that he could claim it is about himself.

There's some divergence of opinion, but it's suggested that "Lawyer Jeff" is the band's former manager, Jefferson Holt.
