no expectations, and as I'm busy this hour, I'll only post if something out-of-the-ordinary happens.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Bob's a mod-rin man. Can someone summarize the plot of this godawful Styx LP? I've never been able to straighten it out.

BOS Ms Benatar. 10@10 is a cheeze-strewn battlefield today.

Big Country - In a Big Country 
 John Mellencamp - Pink Houses 
 Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride and Joy 
 Journey - Send Her My Love 
 David Bowie - Let's Dance 
 Styx - Mr. Roboto 
 Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield 
 Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart 
 Billy Idol - Eyes Without a Face 
 U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday 

a few bright spots but mostly that was rather hellish.

An Orwellian Big Evil Government wants to rid the world of rock and roll because it's very very dangerous heavy metal poisoning.  The modrin Roboto will save the day!

That'll be $3.50.

But what does "Kilroy" have to do with it? It's a reference to the famous WWII-era graffitti, no?  I mean, huh?

I think "Kilroy" was the name they gave to the fictional rock star in their tale.
Let's get right to it.
