20 March 2008--it's 1985
« on: March 20, 2008, 10:03:49 AM »
And indeed, this is not America.

ETA: Sodden thought: How did Bowie get paired up with Pat Metheny? Love the results, but they aren't a duo I would have conceived of, then or now.

Yep. I finished it just as the train I was on pulled into Montgomery, and the last line (equating celebrating being Irish by drinking with celebrating being black by picking cotton) stuck in my head for the several blocks down 2nd street.

running up that 'trina -- or at least that frequent flier.  I've got a hunch "Endicott" may make an appearance too. Or Cock Robin.

Early BOS votes to both Bowie Meth and Kate Bush, both sledgehammers of sorts.

I hadn't realized today was the day - thanks!  Nice to see that things are, um, in bloom.

Rock Hudson avoiding AIDS acknowledgement, into "She's Waiting" - I can't decide if that's inspired or just cruel.

I'm sure it has no meaning at all, Dave-wise. Unless the "She" is Doris Day.

Wow!  BOS to one I don't think we've heard in a long time, Animotion's "Obsession."  I remember our Top 40 station being a little skittish about this at first.

This gives me faint hope that we'll get "Oh Sheila" before the set's over.
