AAACK! Worst. Year. EVAH!

Spot the Vinyl is the sole redeeeming feature today.

And Dave -- what's with the Franklin Pangborn reference?

It's actually "Gossip", accent on the second syllable. The Devil's Radio is spewing gossip, I guess.  Dunno about Slowhand -- quite possible.

Yah, I looked up the words.  Seems awkward to put the emPHAsis on the wrong syllABle.

Franklin Pangborn and Liberace in the same set -- Dave's feeling nelly today.

VHM U2. Nice segue, actually, from the AIDS quilt clip.

Nelly?

Clapton is credited on Cloud 9, but can't say for sure if he's playing on DR.  I'd bet on it though.

What's all this about Franklin Pangborn?  I didn't hear what Dave said, and I've never heard of the guy, though I now know that he died in 1958.

not Nelly, the rapper, "nelly", the adjective.  gay, girly, swishy.

Franklin Pangborn was a comic actor in early films -- he played a milquetoasty, swishy character usually, tho obviously the word "homosexual" was never used back then.

It's my BOS, though I voted for The Fixx, and said the Rembrandts was the vinyl.  Dave says there's no Fixx or Rembrandts in the set.  Doh!  That's what I get for trying to work.
