Jeezus how long IS olive season, anyway?

TOTHK: uber-BOS1 Tom Waits, "Step Right Up"!! The quality goes in before the name goes on. Heartbreak of psoriasis? Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy...

I'll give BOS2 to Bowie's "TVC15". I remember seeing him sing this on Saturday Night Live. Damn, he was weird. My 12-year-old brain could hardly comprehend it.

ETA: Looks like that was in 79, so my brain had a few more years, but still. Whoa.

Man Who Fell to Earth (I think) --> "Blitzkrieg Bop", rather well-worn but OK.

Lawrence Welk bicentennial --> "Play that Funky Music".  An egregiously unnecessary LN for me.

I still like the song, but if you're gonna get funky, you could be a lot more...errrrr...authentic. Wild Cherry is kind of the KC and the Sunshine Band of Funk.

in case no one else heard this, KCBS was doing their weather report at 8:18, and Roberta Gonzalez led off with the factoid that Chicago was colder last night than the surface of Mars.  Stan Bunger replied, "...legendary Bay Area DJ Dave Morey retired to some God-forsaken place in Michigan, how cold do you think it is there?"  Roberta said something to the effect that it was likely -3, with a wind chill factor of -22.

been catching up on YouTube some of the SNL 40 special.   IMHO Jane Curtin is still vastly underrated.
