Title: 15 Aug 2008: a "classic" from... 1992
Post by: RGMike on August 15, 2008, 09:58:28 AM
I'm guessing late-'80s/early-'90s...

and (sadly) I'm correct.  I'm not sticking around for this, I can't imagine a '92 "classic" that's worth a 2nd hearing.

Nirvana
Smells Like Teen Spirit

I wonder if the irony of this song got across to the fans.

aren't any of you young folk around?  I'm pretty clueless about these songs.  We're off soon for our 40th high school reunion weekend.  Then back to school on Monday!

Not listening, but from the songs you've mentioned, it's a classic from April 3 of last year. The Caroline song was Concrete Blonde.

thanks for the list, urth -- it allowed me to stick around to the kd lang's Constant Craving for BOS.  Otherwise, meh...

that Dan Quayle/Murpy Brown bit is a certain Katrina.

it did seem somewhat ironically pitiful/funny having someone as clueless as I doing play-by-play on a year I know so little about!  Now at least people will know the names of the songs!

Heard that in the car, that was the Heads, & my first BOS.  It was the one previously unreleased track they stuck on their Sand In The Vaseline greatest hits double disc.

LOL!  I'm certainly glad I bailed.  The pattern, in this month of Friday "classics", is certainly in keeping with our oft-stated theory about Dave choosing crappy years for days when he's not there. But Mon-Thurs this week were excellent sets, so I can't complain... too much.

Oh yeah.  But we (being the fun-loving group that we are) have a separate term for a Soundbite Katrina - Sally - after the overplayed "You like me" Oscar acceptance speech.

And really, not a bad set compared to most from that year.  Course I can say that since I barely listened to it.

almost all was underwhelming, but I actually kinda liked Dada's "Dizz Knee Land"   8)

heh, good one. 

Another Oscar Sally that comes to mind instantly: Vanessa (Lynn?) Redgrave at the getting smacked down by Rod Steiger after she spoke out on the Middle East situation.  I love that one.

you just pissed off President George!  (and Gaz, who hates that one, iirc)  Dada had a great Xmas song that year -- "My Baby Fell For Old St Nick".

That's absolutely in the top 10.

except it was Paddy Chayefsky, who did the smacking wasn't it?

yes, you are correct, sir:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Chayefsky

He is known for his comments during the 1978 Oscar telecast after Vanessa Redgrave made a controversial speech denouncing the "Zionist hoodlums" who had threatened her (in reference to threats from the Jewish Defense League, identified by the FBI as a right-wing terrorist group), while accepting her award for Best Supporting Actress in Julia. Two hours later, [1] after no one had commented on her speech, while presenting an award Chayefsky stated his distaste for Redgrave's using the award event to make a political point. He said, "I would like to suggest to Miss Redgrave that her winning an Academy Award is not a pivotal moment in history, does not require a proclamation and a simple 'Thank you' would have sufficed." He received loud applause for his riposte to Redgrave. Later, in an interview, he stated that he was offended by her "cracks about Jews" and about having sat and "praying somebody would say something" and commented only because no one did.[1]

I thought it was kind of underwhelming week. Today's was a Zzzzzzzz. All of you know I don't like early 70's so that gets rid of 2 days. 85 was OK. I guess 1980 was good.

I think 10@10 should expand the music range so they have the entire 60's. So Dave could do one day of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Plus one day of specials (i.e. Instrumentals, Soul Patrol, Vertical Tasting or whatever theme comes up).
