That's my take on it, and just to be sure I called Dave & asked since I had a suggestion to make for Tuesday.  He said yes & so I made my suggestion.


which was...???


If any of you have heard of this I'll be shocked, basically the only way you'd know it is if you were listening to KROQ circa '84 in L.A. or if you own Vol. 10 of Rhino's Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's series.  "The Earthquake Song" is by a Go-Go's wannbe group called The Little Girls, and the first verse goes like this (very peppy & upbeat):

There's gonna be an earthquake in this town.
There will be houses falling down.
The fire hydrants will blow up,
The streets will crack, the pipes will pop.
It's gonna kill me mom & dad
They are the only folks I had
But they better not blame me, cuz
It's Not My Fault!

pun obviously intended


New one on me -- I hope he plays it!

If we're suggesting earthquake songs, my two picks would be Gram Parsons' Sin City ("This old earthquake's gonna put me in the poorhouse, it seems like the whole town's insane") and Rodney Crowell's California Earthquake.

(Of course, we'll probably get a wealth of "shaking" songs: Shakedown Street, You Shook Me, Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On, and so forth.)

BOS Boz, Loan Me a Dime. Even if we do hear it nearly every year, this is the best thing about the Tax set.

Takes me back to the inaugural concert at Flint Center, I remember Boz coming up to the mic, with that long coiled cable behind him:

"I know she's a good girl..."

shouldn't Robert Cray be able to avoid his taxes, being such a strong persuader?

BOS here: O'Jays (one of the greatest production and arrangement jobs ever, hands down), Patsy's wicket baskets, and Boz.

100th anniv request: Cass Elliot, "California Earthquake."  More likely we get Chad Allan / Guess Who, "Shakin' All Over."

"Arthur."

Seriously, I was wondering; is it Eric Carmen?
