My first guess would be an all Eagles set, but we've had enough deaths over the weekend that she could collect them all into one memorial set with two ot three songs each - Eagles,  Mott, Tower of Power,  Blowfly. ..am I forgetting anyone?

Great idea, tho' I think Hell Freezes Over before we hear Blowfly on 10@10 :)  -- maybe one of the hits he wrote for others, like "Rockin' Chair" or "Clean-Up Woman"?

and we begin with "another commentary on the music business disguised as a love song", as Frye famously described "New Kid in Town". Written after seeing Broooooce at the Roxy in 1975, and Frye's reaction was "we just had 2 #1 singles and a #1 LP and *this* guy is on the covers of Time & Newsweek? The fuck?"

Taxi Driver "You talkin' to ME?" --> Queen "Stone Cold Crazy". a serious rarity if not a bustout and my BOS.   Wrong year tho' - it's from '74.

Am in my company's office for the next couple weeks,  but I guess 3 weeks was not long enough notice for them to find me a computer, so I am without means to listen (or do any work) so hopefully can catch this one tonight on rerun.
