Anyone know who the folks leading the orchestra are?
Lunatic fringe for starters. Hrm.

I believe that's a character on It's a Living -- cue the theme. Lunatic 'Trina is not an auspicious start. A fire drill looms, I may miss part of this set.

A frequent flyer for sure, but a cool song. "Lunatic French, I know you're out there..."

its 11th appearance, per the shraytabase. Hold on Tight indeed -- also appearance #11. (nice seg, tho' from the air traffic controllers & Reagan, speaking of frequent flyers)

My thoughts exactly. And since I seem to be combating a lunatic fringe in my company at the moment...entirely apropo.

BOS Kinks!

It's a gremlin.

WOS for the extremely ponderous "Keep It Dark".
-
And BOS for the completely unintelligible Pretenders tune.
-
Now this is more like it. BOS2 The Wait. Man Chrissie and the boys played the HELL out of this song.
Oh to be 21 again...
RIP James Honeyman Scott & Pete Farndon.

back from a (mercifully brief) fire drill -- sorry I missed Chrissie; Phil & Co notsomuch. Ah! Donnie!

Yes, yes and yes. God I love this song & it fits my mood right now.
And another BOS to "Ah! Leah!". Saw Donnie Iris in a dive bar/club called Rasputin's in Wilmington in No. Carolina summer of '83 while on a family vacation. Great memory.
-
Ditto my "Lunatic Fringe" comment for "Ah! Leah!". I had a girlfriend in high school named Leah, so I have a soft spot for this song. And it's cool.

"It's morning in America..."
The guy who wrote that line for Reagan just died yesterday or the day before. He was credited with making SF Bay Area an advertising hub.
-
all together now: "we can't stand it either, Eric!"

Hal Riney. I believe there's a thread for him over in the Obits and birthdays forum. And I would bet it wasn't an accident we heard that.
-

Almost as repetitive as the Genesis tune.

we didn't actually hear "It's morning in America," tho' -- that's for an '84 set. Can't really avoid Reagan clips in '81 .
ah, another bad weekend with the Toobs.

Arrgh, this Tubes song grates, simply because they were such a freaking great band that went down, errr, the tubes when they decided to change their image in order to make the bigtime.
-
Ahh, The "Completion Backwards Principle" always reminds me of the RA in my freshman dorm, a fellow tenor sax player and hero (and crush) of mine. So I'm always happy to hear it.

BOS, The Pretenders.
-
VHM, Katrinas and Majors.
-
Gen'rals 'n' 'Trinas -- from battlefields, annoying us. (14th appearance for this one!)
-
If its 1981, its Generals & Majors
-
If its 1981, its Generals & Majors
and we sometimes get it in 1980 too! (Not to mention the "whistle Rock" set.)

BOS(U)2. I was at a party in the early '80s where my friend's mixtape segged from U2's "Gloria" to Laura Branigan's "Gloria" and everybody laughed out loud.
-
BOS early U2

BOS3 U2, Gloria from their second record. Saw both them and the Pretenders at the Warfield within a few months of one another in the fall of '81.

...And they looked just like that!
(Look! The Edge still has hair!)

So I may be wrong, but it appears Annalisa really went off the rails on the Bonus track today. She played the Springsteen version of The Fever, which, so far as I can tell, was recorded in '73 but not released officially until the Tracks album in '98.
It was great to hear it and all, but I can't find a connection to '81 for this song anyplace, unless it was a B-side to one of The River singles.

I'm baffled too -- and she's been doing this a LOT lately. I have the 45s from The River at home (there were only 2, iirc -- "Hungry Heart" and "Fade Away"?) and i don't think "Fever" was the flip of either, but I'll check tonite.

AMG sez that Cadillac Ranch, I'm A Rocker, Point Blank, and Ramrod all made the Mainstream Rock singles chart, but only the last two made it to the top 40. I remember hearing all of those on the radio, but HH and FA were the two big ones.

the songs you mention were "AOR emphasis tracks" as they used to be called, but I don't think they were actually released as 45s.
