Oy.

1990, 1986 and 1984 so far. You'd think an All Presidents Day set wouldn't be that hard.

Wed 2/20/13: 1980

da doo doo doo, blah blah blah.

Once again the Drive's player wouldn't play so I found me a "back-door" alternative. Ditto Redding "Bob". Strange.

Pete T likes it "Rough". Heh.

Sometimes a fantasy gets WOS, BJ.

eek: WOS2 ms Benatar. "they blacken your eyes/and then 'pologize" -- Worst. Line. EVAH.

and Mick on his fiiiine ah-rahb chaaaah-jaaaah would be a lot of folks' WOS too. But not mine.

Oy: stadium fave "Crazy Train"

BOS Heart, evenin' it up.

Journey's "Where Were You" is a rarity, certainly. But that doesn't make it good. WOS3.

Have a drink on AC/DC. And some Cuervo & fine Colombian with the Dan.

Police - De Do Do Do De Da Da Da 
Pete Townshend - Rough Boys 
Billy Joel - Sometimes a Fantasy 
Pat Benatar - Hell Is For Children 
Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue 
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train 
Heart - Even It Up

LN: Rare Earth gets ready.

BOS1: Zep, "GT, BT"

BOS2 IABD, "White Bird"

Could be worse but still: LN2 CCR "Green River". LN3 "Cinnamon Girl"

uber-uber-LN4 Thunderclap Newman.

VHM the "Golden Slumbers" medley.  Hey, better golden slumbers than golden showers.

Cheeze for breakfast: VHM Crazy Elephant and the girls from Tex-a-can. or something.

BOS3 the 5th D's Coke Commercial. Fab. Yoo. Luss.

ZZT look for some tush; Bowie finds fame. LNs 1 & 2.

From the album Past Tense... "Jackie Blue"

Oy: the Nuge has a Stranglehold... on stupidity. damn, I forgot how fucking looooong this is.

BOS1 ELO "Fire on High" -- a welcome palate-cleanser after the Nuge's noodling.

Dude! She's a dude! uber-LN3 EJ's "Island Girl"

uber-uber-LN-infinity "Sweet Emotion"

HM "Tangled Up in Blue", borderline LN tho' it is. Really, ANYTHING else from this LP would be BOS.

Mama's got an LN. And a Squeeze Box.

Mr Simon's "50 Ways" would be more welcome had I not heard it on AT40 this past Saturday.

Electric Light Orchestra - Fire On High 
Elton John - Island Girl
