2 September 2016: 1982
« on: September 02, 2016, 12:53:36 PM »
Just started listening.

"Today, it’s the year the year we met “the first supergroup of the 80s,” John Belushi died, Van Halen covered Roy Orbison, and Time’s “Man of the Year” was … the computer!

It’s … 1982!"

We're 2 weeks away from KFOG's rock format anniversary (9/16/82) -- please tell me he didn't play "Rock This Town" :)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Looking at the list, and my reaction is mostly "sheesh".  BOS Patrice Rushen (don't recall DM or AL ever playing that one).
