13 Jan 2016: it's... 1980
« on: January 13, 2016, 08:47:21 AM »
given that the Bowie set was rather '70s/'80s-centric, I'm guessing today is a '90s or '00s day.

But I'm wrong, thankfully.  Kool & the Gang start us off with some "HAAAAY!"

And will we get something off Scary Monsters? Would not at all be surprised.

I'd bet money on it.

Echo/B-men "Do it Clean" was a nice rarity, rates a VHM.

And Eddie Rabbit gets one too.

"don't call me Shirley" --> Stones "She's so Cold". VHM for one of the best songs about necrophilia.  In honor of Rupert M and Jerry H?

Nice. The Urban Cowboy trend is getting some serious love this time around. Juice Newton next?

And is this one a bustout? Could be.

Newly-minted Grammy Lifetime Achievement award recipient Linda R, "Girls talk". EC hated this but I think it's swell.

Yeah, but I bet he still cashed the checks. And he probably has warmed up to it since then. He was still in his "difficult artist" phase back then.

Btw, am reading his memoir right now, Unfaithful Music  and Disappearing Ink. It's good. Very non-linear, kind of like Dylan's Chronicles Vol. 1.
