30 April 2008: 1988

[mshray]

The clips in this set are better than the songs in between them: now we're hearing a collage of Quayle's malaprops. He almost sounds coherent compared to the boob we've had in the White House the last 7 years.

Followed by Bobby B, My Prerogative.

Clips are definitely outshining the songs, same was true in the '81 set we got on Monday.

Anyone else want to go back to tomorrow with Dan Quayle?

I take it those are all folks who are still alive.  James Brown woulda been 75 on Saturday --I declare a national funky holiday!.

And down the tubes we go: Cheap Trick, The Flame.

For a sec during the intro, I thought Dave was having a brain fart and playing Nature's Way. Quickly realized my error, but still...

Diane Warren is evil and must be destroyed!

I know without looking that Bobby Z. and Stevie W. are both May babies.

THey need a fact checker tho--they have Brian Eno as being born in both '47 and '48 (I think 48 is correct), and they list a "William Spooner" as a member of the Grateful Dead. I assume they mean Bill Spooner from the Tubes, but sheesh.

You are correct (now you can go ahead and look)

I recently saw Toni's appearance on Classic Soul Train... funky is one thing she is not.

This could be my BOS--Psych Furballs, no? All That Money Wants.

Certainly  not TTD for the umpteenth time.

TTD, underneath the sycamore treena. Dave's lack of range in these late '80s sets is quite depressing.

TTD for the umpteenth time.

fifteenth time, to be precise

Her "Can't Stop Dancing" in last weekend's "AT40" April 1977 rewind sure proved that!

Today marks the completion of 4 solid years of uninterupted Db data, and over the next couple of days it looks like I will have enough time to collate, scrub and format the data into the DB.  If I have enough time after that I will sort & update the Katrina lists as well. 

But I'm damn certain this set is going to be one of the most 'trina-laden in the whole Db.

BOS Smithereens, good album from a relatively blah year
