Thanks. (I like Indian, but I had it for lunch yesterday...)  Was that Shuggie's intro there, or does it really change key in the middle?

I'll give it an HM for it's nice jangly sound, but I'd say there's a reason this is a forgotten song.  It's just not very good, with tons of repetition of "starry eyes".

And I know it's a Katrina, but I still really like "Smoke from a Distant Fire".  I could never make out "don't let the screen door hit you".  I think I thought they were saying "and when that reality hits you".

Funny to hear Baba Wawa.  I was watching the 2nd season of SNL last night and saw her on the third show.  I also saw James Taylor accompanied by a much younger Lee Sklar (who I successfully identified :-).  He still had the big beard, but he was all brown instead of grey.

Polk near Pine has a couple other Indian places:  Shalimar -- cheap, spicy -- and Darbar across the street. There's also Miller's Deli on Polk : http://www.millersdelisf.com/

I thought Pablo Cruise was made up of Hispanic dudes, but it seems there were all white guys.  they sure sound like it.

Still, this song is ok by me.  :)

I woulda thought that too.  In face, I was thinking they sounded like an extra-poppy Santana.  And Cruise sounds like an Anglicization of Cruz.

AL mentioned after one of his comments a couple days ago that they worked together at a radio station in MA years ago--late 80s maybe. And I think he's now in FL, so it's possible he really *hasn't* heard much of 10@10.

I'm sure he hasn't, but I'm not talking about 10@10, I'm talking about radio generally -- Classic Rock and Oldies stations have played all the songs he mentioned to *death* in the last 10-20 years.  Anybody who hasn't heard "SL23" in ages has been otherwise occupied, methinks.

I wouldn't argue with either of you here, but I really dig both "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK".  They just work, whatever the band's context, as songs.

Somehow I missed this until now.  Nice one Dave!  One of the most quotable movies of all time.  Wonder what Paul Reiser is doing these days.
