oy, we start the proceedings w some goat cheese, then L&R -- which I'm never that excited to hear. 

But THEN...!  Some Geo Harrison!  and the 'Mats biggest hit  (aside: why are they referred to as 'Mats?  shouldn't it be 'Ments?)



Stevie Nicks    Rooms On Fire  -- booo, blah
Love & Rockets    So Alive  -- zzzz, snooze
George Harrison    Poor Little Girl -- Yay
Replacements    I'll Be You  - whoopee!

Bob Seger's Rock N Roll Never Forgets - an all-American song from an all-American year.

The 79 streak continues... 

Ain't That A Shame? 

No, b/c it's by Cheap Trick.


I also head some of Randy Newman's It's Money That I Love  (B side to It's Money That Matters?) 

and I caught Ian Gomm's Hold On -- I've always liked this one, his voice.  Qualifies as a OHW?

So far we have achieved heaviosity -- to quote Woody Allen in Annie Hall -- with this set.

Big Old Jet Airliner took off, then UFO was too hot to handle, and now Bill Withers implies that it's a lovely ddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
