The Drive, 2/20/08: 1980

Always amazing to me that "What I Like About You" missed the Top 40.

ETA: Top 40 JINX!

we're scary today.  But that's what I like about YOU!

Pop radio was a mess in '80 -- Top 40 stations were dying, and trying to appeal to middle-aged housewives with Air Supply, Kenny Rogers, etc. 3 years later "WILAY" woulda been (with MTV's help) a Top 10 single, easily.

BOS3 AC/DC.

You may be right -- BJ may be sleazy crazy.

BJ's line about driving drunk wasn't funny even before he actually, y'know, did it.

Can't wait for an AC/DC tour. Gotta happen sometime soon.

I like Seger.

Better. 73 tomorrow. Half Breed maybe to accompany your avatar?

Zep, Chicago, Moodies, Live & Let Die, EJ, Stevie, Love Train......... I never get here early enough to hear the whole set.

If I'm not mistaken, Bob has actually played "Half Breed" -- I know he's played "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves".
