AL still illin' -- and it's a Dave-less Dave set from '85.  "Cry" indeed.

it's either 4/20/05 or 5/17/07.  we'll see.

ETA: I very much hope it's the latter, but each is pretty good.  Your favorite Norwegians and an ex-Eagle show up either way.

And it's the latter!  Yay & uber Best of Set for my favorite U2 song.

The Edge finally started listening to Hendrix before this record.  You'll never convince me otherwise.

Love the quotes from the movie, but Huey is the Katrina of Katrinas, soundly defeating the namesake in her own year.

but with that I'm hitting the road for an appointment.

Yup, easy BOS for "Can't There from Here".  REM was really a bright spot for me in the 80s.

BOS1 to Godley & Creme...I didn't realize that Simple Minds had lifted "Cry" (title track of '02 flop) until I heard it last year!

and BOS2 to Mr. Mr.  Love that song.  Though if it was "Kyrie" it would have been WOS, easily.

VHM's to U2, A-Ha (only because I BOS'd it last time & didn't feel like BOS'ing it twice in a row), REM, and Cock Robin.

Yup, easy BOS for "Can't There from Here".  REM was really a bright spot for me in the 80s.

Dave,

Don't know that you'd have ever met, and possibly I already asked you, but one of Chris' freshman dormmates at Flo-Mo was a guy named Jeff Selman who is now a prominent VC lawyer in Palo Alto.  And one day a couple years ago I called him up and said "Are you at all an R.E.M. fan?" "Yeah, sure." "Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics from 'Can't Get There From Here'?...'cuz there's a recurring line about 'Lawyer Jeff'".

and he said "Cool, let me check that out."

WOS #2, Cockrobin.  "Holy Homoerotic Double-Entendre, Batman!"

BOS #3 Kate Bush.  Insert tragic anecdote that I don't have time for as now I really have to jump in the car and head south.

and BOS5, I guess, to not editing Dave out @ the end.

(Hey, did anyone else notice the sweeper that said 'for the set list for this 10 @ 10 classic, go to the 10 @ 10 page?'  I think that editing Dave out is just going to be the standard practice from now on & they are going to play this.  They must have forgot again this morning.)

I never noticed that line before, but damned if that isn't what he's singing. Apparently there's a Philomath in Georgia as well as the one outside Corvallis, OR. 'Cept that, according to Google Maps it appears to be little more than a wide spot in the road.

At the risk of being off on the details: Someone was swimming in a lake, and a jet skier darted through, hitting the person in the head, and skiing away instead of providing help.  That person suffered brain injury as a result - and on the occasion Mshray recalls, called a radio station to request this song, dedicating it to the person who'd hit and run.

Philomath ...

etc.

I just think it's completely amazing that you guys can actually make out ANY of the lyrics Stipe is singing (except for the refrain and opening lie "When the world is your monster...").  To me, this song is one big mumbly-mumble.

The only details you are off on is that it was in San Diego's Mission Bay, not a lake, and she'd been windsurfing & taken a spill, not just swimming.
