not even a "we MIGHT have spot-the-vinyl" caveat can make me stick around for this. Sorry, I'm bailing.

1987: Perhaps we'll hear Crowded House, INXS, George Michael, U2, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce, Huey Lewis...

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"  Mr. Senility gets his final moment in the sun.

But did you hear Dave say "hello to The Club"?  Did he mean us?  Does he know about us?  (sorry, Tracey.)  By the way, the Roger-less Floyd is actually sounding pretty good today.

Sorry, couldn't disagree more on the Floyd.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"  Mr. Senility gets his final moment in the sun.

And for the masses who can only understand overly simplified cause and effect, he gets credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Me too.  But I'm sure Gaz isn't the only one who disagrees.

and lesser heard Chris Isaak as well. Not too shabby.

when you're finished with this, I highly recommend the CG retro-chart show I'm listening to right now -- March of '73. Fab stuff.  Available thru Saturday on their player.

That's painful where he says they can ask him about adultery, ask him about anything.  So they ask if he's been monogamous: "I....don't need to answer that question."  Eek.

Howdy, Rastermon!

BOS to INXS: "Sometimes you kick ... sometimes you get kicked."  I prefer to think this is not about drugs.

Saw INXS in mid '90's at Warfield and for $10(!) at HP Pavilion, great shows!

BOS2 to one I had in my head earlier today, "Coming Up Close."  Aimee Mann sings distant regret like no one else.

I'm getting mighty sick of her "Freeway" song -- in HEAVY rotation right now on KFOG.

I remember being seriously caught up in Hart Mania that summer, and then sooo disappointed.  And then we had to settle for Dukakis, who was the most un-presdential candidate the Dems have put for ward in my lifetime.

Me too, sort of.  A bit of the LSJUMB that was around that summer played a (unauthorized) rally for Gary Hart.  We all got T-shirts.

ETA: This was in 84.  Did the Monkey Business stuff not happen until 87?  I'm cornfoosed.

I was pretty disappointed too. My college roommate was a Hart campaign worker 83-84 - not 87

Are you familiar with the cheating-on-his-wife stuff going on with John Edwards right now -- the Enquirer are doing their damndest to get the mainstream media to pick up on it, but so far they won't bite.

I'm afraid this resession will be much worse than 87's black monday. My Mac widget national debt counter is nearing 10 trillion!

Your absolutely right.  And then you ask: What is a house worth?  What are 100 shares of YHOO worth?

I'm tempted to say Guadalcanal Diary mighta been a bustout, but otherwise this was standard Morey '87.

Wow, I'd missed that.  I actually have that album.  There's another song on it that I really like, "Always Saturday".  That is as obscure a track as we've heard all month.
