Good thing Mike bailed out before Clapton's "Change The World" - he'd be apoplectic.

ETA: I see he didn't necessarily bail yet. 

I'm posting but not listening.  And -- surprise -- I actually LIKE "Change the World", I'd've given it a VHM at very least. 

Surprise!?  How 'bout total shock.  There's a great expression in Taiwanese that connotes astonishment at someone acting totally out of character better than anything in English:  "Bo-day-qua!"

Such as when my 6-yr-old said he didn't want any ice cream last Saturday, or when RGMike says he actually would give a VHM to late-period Clapton.

LOL!  I actually think it's a nice lyric. Of course, I'd've preferred Wynonna Judd's version ;)

I heard it this morning in the car, must have been over on Channel 104.9, and I was singing along a bit myself.

WOS, too many marlenas.  Just sounds like a bad Springsteen imitation to me.

BOS, um, Radiohead.

Really, this '96 isn't that awful, better than yesterday's '89.  Not saying much, maybe, but there you have it.

Jakob Dylan was all over KFOG when I moved here in Aug 1996, roughly the same time as Gaz.  I wonder if he associates it with arriving in SF like I do.

The songs in this set are pretty good, but it sounds just like listening to KFOG during the day, except for the Son Volt song, which I'm really sorry to have missed.  "Yer causin' it!"

Well I will give my BOS to Smashing Pumpkins "1979", which is just the opposite of what you described, a song they never played then but which has attained "world class rock" status since.

I totally do!  Although moreso "6th Ave Heartache" than "3 Marlenas."  And to this day, hearing either song takes me to Kearny St for a moment.

Why guilty!  Great tune, and would get my BOS if I were staying up to listen to this set.  But seems like y'alls' commenting here was far more entertaining than the set itself.

PS: Dishwalla may have been a 1HW, but they won me mucho grande on R&R Jeopardy (coming up on the 10th anniversary of that, yikes!), and they did a fine, inventive cover of "It's Going to Take Some Time" on If I Were a Carpenter.
