I really did love "Margaritaville" in '77. Who knew it would spawn an empire!

Parrothead trivia:  What unusual distinction does Buffet share with Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Styron, Irving Wallace, Dr. Seuss and Mitch Albom?

I declare a moratorium on "Baker Street"... but the "suits" will be pleased with today's set.

Quickly scanning this, I thought you wrote the 'sluts' were pleased today.  Which is quite a chore, let me tell you.   :D

BOS2 ELO -- their most disco-y hit, and one Dave actually rarely plays (in fact iirc this is only its 2nd appearance ever)

BOS to ELO.  Distracted by an obnoxious hack editor but trying to enjoy this set.

oops...it's a 75-84 VT. harrrumph!

But BOS TOTHK Pilot, anyway.

Dave's right about this being a near-perfect TotHK, but I would've preferred 1968.

I am preparing a suggestion for next Friday, a South Africa/Nelson Mandel/Anti-Apartheid set for Nelson's 90th birthday.

That's excellent!  I made an anti-apartheid mixtape in the late '80s -- I'll dig it out tonite and post the song titles.

cool. 

aside from the obvious: Special AKA, "Biko", "Sun City", one or another from Graceland...

I want to suggest UB40 "Sing Our Own Song", Simple Minds "Mandela Day", Johnny Clegg's "Asimbonanga", and a song by a very obscure (in the U.S. anyway) group called Latin Quarter titled "No Rope As Long As Time" that is perhaps the best anti-apartheid song ever, unless it's the Clegg tune.

It's on the right track.  But it's something they all accomplished in the works they published.
