Expecting to hear Lenny Kravitz.  Not hoping for much.

I suspect Dave will do the '90s today too... I've a meeting at 10, so I won't feel bad about missing that.  

I don't think I've heard this Squeeze since '91.

The difference between Ginger & Dave is that Ginger will actuall consult the KBCO playlists from more recent years (say '86 on), so at worst we get a nice snapshot of what they were actually playing then.  Dave will only consult his memory, so we get a much narrower selection of music, but we still get the good pop culture stuff & the occasional zinger of a segue.

P.S. An initial misread of the above as "little hard squeeze" gave that sentence a completely different tilt.

Did Tanqueray ever use this song in an ad campaign? Woulda been more effective than that British black guy they're using now.

and now the inevitable Sting.

VHM Val Kilmer -- another great non-Oscar-nominated perf.


He got totally ripped off by the anti-Oliver Stone backlash.  Here are the nominees that year:

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Robert Downey, Jr. -- Chaplin {"Charles Chaplin"}  
Clint Eastwood -- Unforgiven {"Bill Munny"}  
Al Pacino -- Scent of a Woman {"Lt. Col. Frank Slade"}  
Stephen Rea -- The Crying Game {"Fergus"}  
Denzel Washington -- Malcolm X {"Malcolm X"}  

He wasn't better than at least two of those?  Gimme a break.

Classic case of the Academy giving a "make-good" Oscar to someone who was overdue (Pacino) -- but giving it for one of his WORST perfs. Eastwood (whom I love) had never been nom'd for acting before; he deserved the Directing nod, but an acting nom was overdoing it, I thought.  Downey's work (in a mediocre movie) is underrated, IMHO.  Denzel was deserving too. And Rea was the beneficiary of the Miramax steamroller effect.

That pretty much sums it up, except to point out that Hollywood was deeply divided over Stone's JFK the same year, and that for whatever reason Kilmer has a truly nasty rep as a difficult-to-work-with prima donna, even though he stays out of tabloid trouble, and Downey Jr. is one of the most well-liked guys in Hollywood even though he was just reaching his peak of total screw-up behavior at this time.

and in re: JFK, the Academy totally got it right -- giving it awards for Cinematography and Editing (which it deserved) and ignoring it elsewhere.

BTW Kilmer & Downey are great together in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which should be out on DVD by now.
