KBCO, 9/11/06: it's ???? (ok, it's '79)

[RGMike]

another repeat from one of last week's '79 sets: "It's All I Can Do".

"where holiday romance is nothing at all". Huh?

[mshray]

no way you wouldn't give Steve Forbert BOS #1 (is there?)

Actually, it's a 10@10 staple to me -- Dave's played it a number of times (and Bob too iirc), and I'd love to hear something from his first LP one of these days.

I must have missed a bunch of those sets, but you're right, it's in the KFOG Db 5 times, although 2 out of 5 times Dave played it in an '80 set.

You ever had one?

Back in 1979, as a 16 year old, I would have been extremely happy to be "undoing the laces" for Stevie.

These days?  ....not so sure.

"the band known as 'the British Big Star'"

First time I've ever heard them call that.

I'd nominate Teenage Fanclub for that title--OK, if you want to be precise, they're Scottish, but they're still subjects of the queen.

What is it about Scotland that produces these fab pop bands--Fanclub, Travis, Kaiser Chiefs, Trashcan Sinatras, Belle and Sebastian (stretching a little on the last one, but you get my drift).

I have to say that Marcus had one of the best segues ever at the end there.  He played a different clip from 10, but if you recall, at one point George (Dudley Moore) is at the Mexican resort & really full of self-pity.  He goes to one of the palapas where Brian Dennehy is tending bar & dispensing philosophy, and they become fast friends.  Meanwhile back in Hollywood, Julie Andrews & their other friends are trying to track George down & manage to place a call to the hotel front desk.  Front desk guy (obviously anglo) calls the palapa (the audience can barely hear his voice) & Dennehy, after looking meaningfully at George & getting a sharp shake of the head 'No' for an answer, tells the Front Desk guy, "He's incommunicado."

Front Desk guy (barely audible) says, "He's in Communicado? Where's that?"

Dennehy replies, "Oh, about ten miles east of here."

...and then the Dire Straits song starts off with the line: "He's incommunicado, no comment to make. He's saying nothing at all."

Funny, a friend of mine made nearly that same comment about bands from Minneapolis last night as we were leaving the Golden Smog show at the Fillmore. Which was a really fun show, btw. More over in the concert thread (when I get time to write it, that is.)
