stuck in the early '80s for another hour.  And the Who make their 2nd appearance of the morning -- but this is no social crisis.

WOS2 Moodies, "Gemini Dream", a song I've really come to dislike thru repeated 10@10 play.

Yikes, what an early-'80s AOR horrorshow this is turning out to be: Styx, "Too Much Time on My Hands".  No wonder New Wave formats were springing up all over.

BOS Moore & Gielgud in Arthur. Would that Bob had played the theme song -- this set desperately needs some Top 40 gloss.  More AOR dreck: "Hold on Loosely".  Yikes.

BOS2 "Arc of a Diver", but this is really the best of a decidedly lame lot.  Contrast with Rob's '82 set -- what a difference a year makes.

And I forgot to mention that awful Peter Cetera-trying-to-rock "Livin' in the Limelight" thing -- did that get airplay back then?
