[Beej]

sayeth Gazoo:

I've seen several times an image of a Japanese import copy of an Eric Clapton album that shows his name as -- yup, Eric Crapton.

I still have the one you sent me...

[princessofcairo]

ok, not ending there.

i don't think i voted yet. so i'll bos the last great thing r.e.m. ever did.

It's Michael Stipe's advice to straight people: "Try not to breed".

"dare me to breed!"
could we have heard the breeders in this set? i loves me some deal!

[Beej]

BOS The Ramones.

[RGMike]

BOS Ramones/Simpsons.

Isn't this gnikcuf set over YET???

OK, so Dave won't play "I'm Still Standing" in the '80s but he plays THIS Elton song in the annual Pride Set AND in '93?

double shot of sir elton's love.

I think these Bernie Taupin lyrics are fairly inscrutable, how come it's a Pride set regular?

There's a breakdown on the runway
And the timeless flights are gone
I'm a year ahead of myself these days
And I'm locomotive strong
My city spread like cannon fire
In a yellow nervous state
I can't cut the ties that bind me
To horoscopes and fate

And I won't break and I won't bend
But someday soon we'll sail away
To innocence and the bitter end
And I won't break and I won't bend
And with the last breath we ever take
We're gonna get back to the simple life again


When we break out of this blindfold
I'm gonna take you from this place
Until we're free from this ball and chain
I'm still hard behind the eight
My city beats like hammered steel
On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight
We'd never have to stop

'cause elton's a big ol 'mo

too right!  Cannonball charted #44 this year.

btw, Kim or Kelly?  Kelly's much more the ho' apparently,

[Gazoo]

WOS - Elton John and the boring "Simple Life," which wore out its welcome in countless Pride Day sets.

Seems pretty obvious to me.

so you're saying it's just Dave's fave from Dame Elton & not otherwise Pride-specific?

I'll buy that.

'cause elton's a big ol 'mo

And "All the Girls Love Alice" would be too politically incorrect ('cause she dies)

[urth]

Has been pretty middle-of-the-road--who'd have guessed that the Valentines set would be the best of the week so far?

Thinking we're due for 1967 tomorrow perhaps.

You can absolutely apply those words to my marriage.  And even more so to my first serious girlfriend.  That's what I meant by inscrutable.  Anyone can read what they want into them.  Unlike Jill Sobule, for example.
