so true today, even more than in '86.


very good point!


Most "political" songs Dave plays -- whatever the year -- are chosen for that very reason, bless his heart.

Why is the streaming version of KFOG still running this spot about "snow and snow bunnies" in Tahoe... in July?

Last year I suggested to Dave that he do a Nelson Mandela tribute set on July 19th.   Hope he lives another year so we can do one for his 90th.

and i said, "teacher!" i said, "teacher! what the hell happened?!"

one of the teachers started crying before the rest of us caught on. then kids started crying witout even knowing why they were crying. they were just crying because one of the teachers was crying. then about two minutes later the rest of us caught on.


This was still pretty early morning on the west coast, I had just gotten to work & turned on the radio.  My former roommate Dave was both a big space buff (he'd already seen one shuttle launch) and a late sleeper.  So I called him, woke him up & told him to turn on the TV.  Now when he's asked 'Where were you when...' he tells how I woke him up with the news.


I had skipped school that day and was watching game shows (as I typically did when skipping school).  They cut into "Sale of the Century" to show the launch, and I was pissed off: I was never awed by space exploration.  So that's where I was when it happened.

WOS Robert Palmer, shamelessly trying to duplicate "Addicted To Love" -- and god knows I love the man's catalog.


When I saw this post earlier, I assumed you were referring to "Simply Irresistible," a more successful duplication of "Addicted to Love."  Just goes to show what the mid-'80s were all about musically.

Technically four if you want to count early member Peter Gabriel.

I was counting the Gabriel track and I came up with just three (Genesis, PG, Mike & the Mechanics)--what's the fourth one?
Let's get right to it.

My bad. I looked the list and for some reason had Bruce Hornsby as a Genesis member.

He *is* an occasional honorary Dead member, however.
