You rock!  Thanks for the call!  Will enjoy a fun afternoon at the ESPN SportsZone in Times Square.  Fortunately, the MTA strike doesn't start until tomorrow.

And may the year bring Barry Zito to the Mets (kidding! I love ya but not that much!).

I was there for the transit strike in 1980.  Not fun. But it was in April -- how'd they manage to do this in December?  Say hello to Chris Berman and Stu Scott for us. :wink:

Hey, Many happy returns, bro! I hope DM has been clued in to your special day! If not, we suck.

[Gazoo]

DM mentioned me last year, so no sweat this year.  Least we heard a shout to erstwhile clubber L-Dewd!

And I'm gigglingly doing the "Hi. Hi, hi" dance for "Pop Song '89."

WOS - Ronnie Reagan's "You like me, you really like me" speech.

And with that, I gotta run: Lunch and games in Times Square.  Catch y'all on the flip side, and thanks again for the thoughtful notes!

Happy birthday, Gaz!

1989: my least fave song on the wheel. Unless he finally plays "Walk the Dinosaur" or "Buffalo Stance".  Or Roachford.  Or Kon Kan. (All highly unlikely.)

Have a lovely afternoon! We're having a copy-desk lunch with all my grammatically picky homies, so I'll raise a glass of wine in your direction in a couple of hours!

ETA: and VHM to Once Bitten Twice Shy--has Dave ever played the original Mott/Ian Hunter version?

Once or twice.

BOS to this Panama montage.  What this sets lacks in musical balls it makes up for in political cojones.  "Road to Hell" indeed!

Chris Rea--an easy WOS pick for me. Don't know why this guy is popular--he doesn't strike me at all.

I'm guessing his not-unlike-Mark Knopfler voice is a draw, at least in the UK. This song is a blatant Straits clone; some of his other stuff is less so.

yeesh, here's Clapton.

Spoke too soon--WOS2 EC.

Should have never opened my mouth.

BOS EC.  My favorite of his later period songs, just a great guitar solo.

And Happy Birfday, GAZ!
