A co-worker has a iPad -- if the KFOG app ever finishes downloading, I'm good-to-go.

As I said on FB the other day, Robert Cray was the artist AOR stations in the '80s would play to prove they weren't racist.  Also necessary in this context, tho'.

Sounds like an extended version of "For the Love of Money", or am I just imagining that there are extra reps of the riffs in there?

I'm not cracking up. I've definitely never heard that soprano sax solo before.

I missed the first Python bit. Was it the "Money Programme?"

Holy Tiny Tim, Batman!  That was amazing, though I wish he'd tuned his uke up before making that recording.

ha, I thought it was just me.   No, I don't really dig it.  In the right context it might be fine, like English avant garde art rock theater from 1979, which is where it came from (I didn't know this offhand, just read up on the band/act/collaboration that produced it.)  But think about what was happening when it hit the scene: disco was doing its last line, punk was getting big, Journey and Rush were just heating up commercially (so that's good) but overall this sounded pretty dang  different, which counts for a lot.  (I just read that Robert Fripp was part of the band at some point, but I don't think he was on 'Money').

If we didn't hear it like clockwork every year on KFOG's predictable Tax Day set, it might not be so bad.  ::)

If we could just hear the Plastic Ono Band live version once, I'd be happy!

as I've said a zillion times, it sounded like Yoko (or a parody of her) back then. I can vividly remember the first time I heard it, driving around Queens in my car with my friend George listening to the late lamented WPIX-FM (which was doing a Punk/New Wavish format called "pure rock" at the time) and "Money" came on and  we were llike "what... the.. FUCK??" I can understand that it's a cliche track of the period (and it's also probably on DC's "trigger songs" list), but it really was something in '79.
