A good start for '85, hope Mark is tuned in for one of his fave movie scores.  

Now the question is: can we avoid Katrina and Huey?

Yep, good start, and an early BOS candidate for me with Los Lobos' fabulous Will the Wolf Survive?--I have to say, twenty years hence, that the Wolves most certainly have survived and even thrived.
Let's get right to it.

I probably say this every time, but Waylon Jennings did a nice cover of WTWS that was a good-sized country hit.

uh-oh! tanking early with Phunky Phil.

Forgot to mention that I flashed on another LA (or rather, San Diego if you're getting technical) band from this era that'd be great to hear: the Beat Farmers. Yeah, they had a couple of novelty hits with California Kid and Happy Boy, but there were some pretty rockin' tunes on there to back those up--covers of the Velvets' There She Goes Again and a much more lively version of Springsteen's somber Reason to Believe. If Born to Run is what sounds like 15 to me, Tales of the New West was what 25 sounded like.
Let's get right to it.

And BOS2--Pop Life. Anyone hear much about his sideman turn at the Fillmore Monday night? I gather he mostly played guitar and sang backups, didn't really step out front save for a guitar solo or six.

I may be the only one, but I'm actually hoping to hear the mother of all Katrinas...    a bit of sunshine would be nice today   :P
Now I'm eight bits...

I'll second that. But, then again- we all know I like a good sappy song...

... and don't it feel GOOD?!

Tina is another HUGE '80s artist (like Madonna, Michael, Janet)  that Dave rarely plays. For shame!
