23 Feb 2011: it's... 1978

[RGMike]

AL remembahs Septembah. Bow-day-ow.  This is like listening to an hour of 103.7 The Band.

[RGMike]

Ali will be happy to hear "Groove Line" but this is like a '78 version of last week's '81 mainstream-fest.  Maybe the new PD requires one of these per week?

[Tinka Cat]

One Day At A Time. Bonnie Franklin is about to have that talk w Julie.  The one where she tells her "You should date Onan and not this guy Chuck."

Groove Line --  Über BOS!  Penned by Rod Temperton, who wrote Thriller

[RGMike]

New wave finally arrives -- BOS the Police's "Next To You", the closest to a rarity we've gotten.

[Tinka Cat]

Here's your new wave, Mike, sorta..  

What can we do?

I was thinking the same thang.  Perhaps AL has been "influenced" by her new PD.  More AOR and less FB requesting?  Boo, I say!
