Never thought I'd say this, but HM to Bryan Adams.  Hadn't heard "It's Only Love" in many years.

And now the poor (literally; this album apparently never recouped  :!: ) Mr. Mister.

you can just tell yourself you're voting for tina.

we may get some soul in this set. it's reminding me of texas radio...i can't think of what artists might appear, though.

hmmm...the lunch lady would work, too. she announces the menu for some building on capitol hill. when i lived in d.c., i'd call every day to listen to the recording. she makes minestrone soup sound like  party.


The KFOG morning show used to call up and put the message on the air. After a while it got old.

I'd suggest Keith David (very deep-voiced black actor; he does the Navy and UPS commercials -- what can Brown do for KFOG?).  Or James Earl Jones.

Gaz, did you mean Lil Jon the rapper or Stuttering John, the Tonight Show announcer and ex-Stern hanger-on?

We have to play this song from time to time at church, but for me I'm almost positive this contains some ripped off melodies from Stevie Wonder.  I haven't been able to figure it out for over a decade.  Am I insane?

Sorry I couldn't have made it.  I haven't had a day off all month.  School is kicking my ass.

i don't see the connection. but that doesn't mean much...maybe the descending and ascending chord patterns remind you of "don't you worry 'bout a thing?"

another BOS -- JC Melonhead, "Justice & Independence '85". Woo Hoo!

This and the Bryan Adams remind me of my '85 vacation, I flew out here and drove from LA to Seattle.   A Mexico City Earthquake clip should be imminent.

No worries, Geoff! Sorry to hear they're running you ragged, though.

Most representative of year (for me): Foreigner, "I Want to Know What Love Is."  That opening mood-synth lingers in my memories.
