KBCO, 6/10/08: 1975

[Gazoo]

BOS n+1 Dr. Wu, who lost a coin flip with Alison to be the name for songs that contain album titles that differ from the song title.

Alison wins on a technicality: "Dr. Wu" says that "Katy tried" and "Katy lies," but never "Katy lied," unless I'm mishearing things.

The Dead roll away the dew, which is kinda hard to dew, er, do, no?  But I'll be nice and not WOS them today.  But I coulda done without "Black water".

Ginger's no-Jefferson-Starship edict always comes back to surprise me when I hear something like the Dead.  This set could stand to be in a state of Grace.

Was it Ginger's edict or the station's? Given Ginger's exemplary taste in just about every other way, it just doesn't ring true for it to have been her choice. Sounds more to me like the Starship just didn't test well when BCO did some listener testing. A shame in any case.

Agreed with the consensus on Go-rilla, and also on Letting Go. Thumbs down and up, respectively.

Wow, pretty fine set. BOS votes from me for the McCartwings, the Bruce, and the Dan tunes. And runners-up to the Toots and the Welcome Back Kotter clip.
