I predict "Switchin' to Glide" and something from Empty Glass.
-
I always love how Ray spits out the "L-O-L-A" in this live version.
-
"there is a great disturbance in the force"
VHM James Earl Jones.
WKSF (worst Katrina so far): Blondie, "Tide is High".
-
1980 for "The Tide Is High"? I very much associate this with 1981. But I just checked Whitburn, and indeed, it debuted in November of '80. VHM, at any rate, such a brazen and daring arrangement.
-
BOS Bruce, "Sherry Darling", one of the many tracks on The River that just cried out to be a single, but Columbia really botched things in that dept, IMHO.

I think I've hit my tipping point with Ready Freddie: I don't really need to hear this song again for a few years.

S'pose I have too.
Here we go BOS for "Expresso Love".
btw, Gaz, what is your sig quote? I know Geoff recognized it, but I am still clueless.

talk about Mr Lord God KING Boofoo. Agreed, and I'll throw in "Another one Bites the Dust", too.
ETA: and lo, here's AOBTD on KFOG at 9:38.

Here's a M3S for the current song:
Expresso Love - Dire Straits
5:15 - The Who
Picasso's Last Words - Paul McCartney & Wings

BOS: Bill Murray's Caddyshack groundskeeper. I wonder if the character was written that way or if Bill improvised that.
(And I wish "Late in the Evening" had played all the way through instead of just a teaser.)

I'll hang onto "Steve walks warily down the street..." but I really don't need to hear "Under Pressure" since it just makes me think of Vanilla Ice. Yesterday I heard a new cover of "Under Pressure" & while the deejay said she loved it, I found it utterly unredeeming.
-

Yeah, I'd be stunned if anyone else knew it: It's from Grace Slick's "Theme From the Movie 'Manhole.' " A 15-minute epic that I'm sure has never been played on commercial radio. But there are some wonderfully poetic moments in it, including the quoted verse.

Improvised, according to IMDb he almost NEVER recites scripted lines in any of his movies. He reads the script through several times, but when the director yells "Action!" he says whatever he wants.

That cover is by two modern-rock bands, The Used and My Chemical Romance. Agreed with your assessment.

Mr Seger gives that haughty bitch what-for in "You'll Accomp'ny Me".
-
WOS: "You'll Accomp'ny Me," though it wins for Most Innovative Punctuation Of Set.
-
BOS #2, Seger, "You'll Accomp'ny Me"
This is a ballad that holds up extremely well after 25 years (imho).
Too bad KFOG seems to be allergic to Seger.

So does that mean you like it like me or hate lit like Gaz?

Saw the trailer for his new one, Broken Flowers (directed by Jim Jarmusch) and he's a guy on an odyssey to find out which one of his ex-girlfriends' kids was fathered by him. Sharon Stone and Frances Conroy are among the ex-paramours. Looks great.

WOS Journey-when-the-weren't-good.
-
Heh: When I lived in Boston, I would often go to Sunday night karaoke at a club called 608. There was a semi-regular there who looked a lot like Beck and would perform this song ("Any Way You Want It") in spastic (and on-key!) elation. I could never tell who was in on the joke, including me.
There was also an old guy who would show up in a captain's hat -- they all called him Captain Carl -- every week and warble "Total Eclipse of the Heart." But he's for another day.

oh but they got much much worse...

"With the possible exception of who I wanted her to be."
I think this line summarizes 95% of why people who hate Jackson Browne do so with such vituperance.

Ahhhh, but not me. "That Girl Could Sing" is one of the biggest sledgehammer songs of my existence. I know I have told the whole sob story previously, so I'll spare you this time.

It's a lesser Seger tune, for me. But his love/hate relationship with women is a recurring theme ("Holywood Nights", "Her Strut", etc). I certainly don't see it as a tender ballad... more like "you think you're hot shit, don'cha, bitch? well, someday you'll be mine". Not exactly a Hallmark Valentine.
-
I'd never heard that Survivor tune before.
Tomorrow: Woo Hoo '72 -- let's hope the "back door" works this week.
