at least 2 diff Fogheads called in to suggest the Outlaws tune, bless 'em. Meanwhile, Renee expressed astonishement at there being 10 songs with "green" in the title.

Didn't we just hear "Green Grow the Rushes" last week? Plenty of other "green" choices, Dave. Yeesh.

Good ol' Renee. A good morning show needs its token ditz. (She can't really be that dumb, can she? Yeah, I suppose she can. Sigh.)

Anybody have anything good to say about The Fray?  Any songs that redeem them, or should I try to sell my tickets?

This would be better without the unfortunate soprano solo, presumably by Van himself.  I don't know who told him he should play the saxophone.  When I saw him in concert (he's terrible in concert), he just made bad sounds on it.

A standard part of the "green" set, which used to be Dave's usual St Pat's M.O., but Dave's done the "Irish bands" set the last 4 or 5 years in a row, iirc.  Years ago he used to do the "luck" set.

Sugarloaf.  the loooong version?

ETA: YES!

OOh, extremely HM for Sugarloaf.  I've always loved this tune.  But I already voted for the Outlaws.

Don't really know enough about 'em beyond the song(s) that KFOG plays. But it's at Shoreline, right? If you really want to see Gomez, I'd wait 'til they come back thru headlining someplace smaller--you'll get a longer set and most likely a better view of the band.

Yah, Snoreline.  The trouble with the smaller places like the Fillmore or the Warfield is that you have to stand all the time to see anything.  I'm just not into that anymore (if I ever was).

What a diff between this and their other hit, "Paloma Blanca".
