Thurs Oct 20 -- it's 1982
« on: October 20, 2005, 10:02:15 AM »
Oh joy. I am cringing already.

ETA: Sorry for the negativity right off the bat. It's just that when I hear "1982" I automatically think "Men at Work." Sort of a Pavlovian thing, but it's the truth.

Good Ol Polly Purebread--always looking on the bright side.

I did kind of dig the muted pizzicato picking that was buried in the left channel of the Fleetwood Mac tune--never noticed that before.

Cars. No comment.

We had to endure Men At Work on the Morning Show ("Land Down Under". Some Foghead won the Request-o-Rama with the answer of "Sydney, Australia" and thought it would be appropriate. God, I hate Fogheads sometimes...)

"Since You've Gone", followed by Belushi's funeral. Co-inky-dink? I think not.

I share urth's pessimism.

I hate Fogheads most of the time. Didja hear the Pop Quiz today? Shamefully stupid people.

And while I've got the crankypants on... howcum KFOG is allowed to say the title of the Blues Traveler CD ("Bastardos") but censors the word "bastard" in the John Hiatt song?

I remember that day - I was skiing at Loveland Pass, CO. Also was skiing when John Hinkley shot Reagan. 1982 - I predict Haricut 100 and the Human League

BOS for Strange Advance and "Worlds Away".  And saddest of set for John Belushi dying.  I remember when I heard it; I was really upset.  Quite a bit more so than upon hearing that John Lennon had died.  So sue me.

great song, but I'm stuck in a computer lab with kids who can't pass the high school exit exam in math!

Certainly the strongest candidate so far (Roxy is right in there too), but I'll hold my vote for the time being.

Hmm, the same Beat song in KBCO's '83 set shows up in Dave's '82 set.  Who is right?

Movie quiz:  Can you name all three voices heard in that clip from Fast Times At Ridgemont High?

When I worked at ABC in the '80s it became a running joke that famous people either died or were shot on my day off: Lennon, Reagan, Belushi, Karen Carpenter, the Pope...
