Don't remember this song at all.  And I can't figure out who LRB is?

No, no, don't proxy any Moodies after "Steppin' In A Slide Zone".  I can't stomach this later shyte, anymore than I can stomach any REO after You Can Tune a Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish or any Styx after The Grand Illusion.

I woulda BOS'ed "Another Tricky Day" if I'd been here from the top, but a little Billy Squier will do.

Older, yes.  Not newer.

But that's okay.

VHM "Every Little Thing She Does" just about the only Police song I haven't heard lately on KFOG.  I know some of you don't dig it but I always liked this.

I sat this one out.  Been hearing too much 1980-1982 on both the 10@10s and trad radio of late.  Sorry I missed the Little River Band tune; I'm not sure I've ever heard that one.

I totally understand -- it is interesting, however, that the Drive, to my ears, seems to be playing less '80s sets than they were. A result of listener reaction? They haven't been above '84 in a long time , tho' they have played '85 & '86 in the past, albeit sparingly. And the Peak made their first foray into the '60s today (!), which must also be the result of listeners saying "Please go back further than the '70s". And of course Dave has yet to visit 1996, tho' he said it was being added to the wheel back in Jan.
