Title: 26 Oct 2006 - 1978
Post by: Alicat on October 25, 2006, 10:59:43 PM
I think I heard we're getting 78. Will Dave close with Thunder Island? Maybe I misheard being that we had 78 recently. But if we do.....

My wish list
Disco is a must.
Boogie Shoes
Dance Disco Heat
Night Fever
Get Off
Lets all Chant
Flashlight
You and I
Baker St. (any Gerry Rafferty)
Deacon Blues or FM
Count on Me
Only the Good Die Young
Take Me to the River
I Need a Miracle
Serpentine Fire

If we don't, I'll delete or edit the subject line.

We had '78 last Monday (10/16) so I doubt it's up again today.  But '76 is due.

I have a dumb question: Why do so many songs refer to "London Town" rather than just "London"?  Is there a distinction?  Is it like saying "New York City" instead of "New York"?

Ignorantly,

well, yes. I believe London Town is the section of London that is the core of the city, dating back to when it was founded.

My brother and I had a couple of the KISS dolls in '78.  We foolishly threw them out in '80 or so.  Fast Fwd to '99, I'm shopping for them on eBay as a surprise present for my brother.  Almost spent $200 (!) on a Paul Stanley doll, then thought better of it, and never visited eBay again.
