Ditto my "Lunatic Fringe" comment for "Ah! Leah!".  I had a girlfriend in high school named Leah, so I have a soft spot for this song.  And it's cool.

"It's morning in America..."


The guy who wrote that line for Reagan just died yesterday or the day before.  He was credited with making SF Bay Area an advertising hub.

Hal Riney. I believe there's a thread for him over in the Obits and birthdays forum. And I would bet it wasn't an accident we heard that.
Let's get right to it.

Almost as repetitive as the Genesis tune.

we didn't actually hear "It's morning in America," tho' -- that's for an '84 set.  Can't really avoid Reagan clips in '81 .

ah, another bad weekend with the Toobs.

Arrgh, this Tubes song grates, simply because they were such a freaking great band that went down, errr, the tubes when they decided to change their image in order to make the bigtime.

Ahh, The "Completion Backwards Principle" always reminds me of the RA in my freshman dorm, a fellow tenor sax player and hero (and crush) of mine.  So I'm always happy to hear it.

My thoughts exactly.

and we sometimes get it in 1980 too! (Not to mention the "whistle Rock" set.)

BOS(U)2.  I was at a party in the early '80s where my friend's mixtape segged from U2's "Gloria" to Laura Branigan's "Gloria" and everybody laughed out loud.
