BOS for those Ex-10CC dudes and their very cool morphy video.

Yep, this gets my overall BOS vote.

BOS2 Foreigner. It's the gospel choir, y'all.

Joe Walsh down in LA.

and Broooce in the USA!

OK, i realize the LP was still on the charts in '85, but this is a borderline cheat.

This set is the only appearance for BitUSA and the Cars tune in '85 sets, but both have appeared in other years as well.

WOS Julian L's creepy video for "Too Late..."  As if his relationship to John needed to be driven home with a sledgehammer.

the '78 set on the Sound had better Cars & Bruce tunes - Darkness On The Edge Of Town is closing it out over there.

See, since you mention sledgehammers, I woulda BOS'd this as it reminds me of when times were good with my first serious girlfriend, who had this LP and played it often in our little studio apartment upstairs from the Domino's ablock off campus.

We had a LOT of sex.  Not that much pizza though. 

Kelly (who was totally hot) once had to go to the clinic because of a recurring infection, and the nurse asked her how often she had sex.  She said "4 or 5 times," and the nurse said "Okay", and scribbled in her notes, and Kelly said, "...a day," and the nurse jumped back a bit, narrowed her eyes and told Kelly, "Well that might be a little much."

So you can understand my continuing fondness for Julian Lennon.

I wishn I'd kept a running tally of how many times the Bonus has been a track Dave has never played.

I think you just ruined my entire childhood with a single sentence. I never even considered it a song to John...it's *so* not fun anymore. I be wanting to cry...

What are you going to do next, Reg, tell me "Valotte" is a love song to the Margaret Thatcher?

Seriously? You never saw the video with the John-lookalike in the doorway?

The video, at least, is cashing in on the John.  But it's still possible that Julian wrote it about a girl, and this was just some clever video producer's idea of how to really sell the thing.

"Look Julian, I know it's about a girl.  But we want to sell records here!"

I absolutely agree -- somebody heard the lyrics and said -- "they're THIS... but we can make people think they might be THAT". From a marketing standpoint, genius. From an "OMG, they've got some guy in a bad wig pretending to be his dead father" standpoint... creepy.
