Did anyone notice the clip that Dave slipped in between Don (or whoever) announcing today's year and the beginning of the Roxy tune? It was those huge multilayered synth chords that movie theaters would play before the film to demo their Dolby or THX 1180 sound system. I can't hear that without marvelling at how great it sounds.

Percy?  do ya mean Robert Plant, and if so, why?  My BOS goes to "Save It for Later", though I suppose it's pretty thoroughly Katrinafied now.  HM for "The Main Thing" too.

It's the THX logo theme -- don't mention Dolby in the same breath or George Lucas will sue you.  Didn't he sue some rapper for sampling it?

I'd swear we've had this conversation, but "Percy" is his nickname; "Percy" is also Brit slang for penis, and, well, there's a reason they call it "cock rock". LOL!

BOS2 Dazz Band -- "Let it Whip"! is this a breakout? I know I always say Dave should segue this with Steve Miller's "Abracadabra" (same cheezy synthesized "whip" sound effects).

Who's this R&B tune we're hearing? I hear hints of Prince (I'm a poet that don't know it) but it sounds more like one of his production jobs than his actual purpleness. A bustout, in any case. And probably my BOS.

I actually had to explain this to Irish Greg once about 3 years ago.  they did a phone interview wherein Plant was quoting someone who addressed him as Percy & IG asked about it. Plant declined to comment & said "You'll have to get someone else to tell you".  So I called in & did so.

As I recall sometime just previous to that IG had asked who Neal Peart was, so I when I called in I asked if he might need to go back Producer's School and get recertified if he really didn't know either of those things.

Someone once complained quite loudly that the song was sexist/misogynistic. I thought it was Gaz but I could be wrong.

Aaaack! "Rosanna (Arquette)".  Rock stars who write songs about their actress girlfriends: wrong, wrong, wrong.
