Given AL's recent penchant for rarities and bustouts, this could be a really great set. Lots of excellent songs from 79 that haven't appeared here before.

Your quotes are just the same as mine today. This one along with "porno costs more" jumped out at me. Good set! It's really a "the 70's are over, get used to it" set.

 a certain 'snipe complained that "she ALWAYS plays this one" but it's only it's 4th appearance in the AL era.

(of course there's no Stones or Bruce in '79 so he's cranky)

This explains why it’s a 70s set I like so much.  ;D
