Nice start with CCR -- Looking out my Back Door -- one of my alltime favorites.  Woo Hoo!!!

And I'm totally impressed with 70's set today.  I figured with '67 and '76 set already this week, today would be a disappointment.  But noooooooooo...

I always thought it was Frank King... which certainly scans better (one less syllable)

BOS Hai Karate.  I used lots of that stuff back in the day.

More likely part of a conscious effort to separate 10@10 Mark II from Dave's version. I'm hopeful that Hits From Hell will make the jump across the divide.

Pretty sure it's Freddy. Several lyric sites and wikipedia all concur:

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie was doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact

Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

We're diggin' into the cheeze--Still the One, which would be fodder for a thousand TV commercials.

Hope they held onto their publishing!

Star Wars takes me back, I saw it in the first couple days before it became a phenomenon.  Back then movies, at least in St. Louis, usually opened on Wed.

ooooh that chartbusters guy is like fingernails on chalkboard, but LRB is a very soothing antidote.  BOS #2.

agreed on Mr Voiceover Guy -- yeesh.  LRB would be more welcome had I not heard it on Klassic Kasem this wknd. But at least this is the full version, not the bad edit Casey played.

yeah it looks pretty awful, or at least unnecessary.  If "Fame" had been in the actual set, it would've been a bustout, no? Or a serious rarity.

I just a read a review of the movie that says that in this new version none of the students at the High School of Performing Arts are gay. WTF??  In real life that place is theater-queen CITY.

LOL!  I actually used to work down the street from what the HSoPA had evolved into in the 1980s (when they moved into new digs at Amsterdam and 64th). The kids always seemed cool, but I once had to deal with the faculty/admins -- my car was boxed in by double-parked vendors who were inside the school, and it took and HOUR to find a faculty member who would make an announcement on their PA system to find the perpetrators.  rather clueless bureaucrats.

Maybe they needed some warm up time before making a public announcement.  "She slits her sheets, her sheets she sits, upon the slitted sheet she sits." etc.

I used to work in Midtown near there.  Do you recall the Kosher pizzeria that was nearby?  I think it was across the street. Ate there a couple times...  Now dat's a spicy Motzah Ball!

I would concur. I'll give BOS to Sweet if for no other reason than I just randomly selected them for my next iPod loading.

As far as "Fame" goes - let's just say I don't plan on watching any version. But ironically I had a crush on Irene Cara for "Breakdance". Speaking of which, that's a 1984 song I'd love to hear on 10@10, but probably won't.

This gets BOS from me, for sheer ballsiness as a 10@10 selection.  I love the Cantina Band section.
