26 August 2008: it's 1981

[ggould]

here we go!  Back to class in a few minutes for me.

[Gazoo]

This could be a wild card of a set; '81 was quite a year of transition.  Squeeze is a promising opener; HM.  I'm hoping for something very indie, though - like "Shaddup You Face" or "Fish Heads."

[RGMike]

The Morey-Morey-Morey cool down! BOS Squeeze. BOS2 Pretenders best-mondegreen-evah, "Mystery G-Man"

[ggould]

I go back into my rabbit hole at 10:18, so this Pretenders tune is pretty BOS-y so far.

so, was Reagan in bed with the Iranians to keep the hostages away until the election?

[RGMike]

wow, Dave's s-s-smokin' today -- I make-a H&O BOS3!

[RGMike]

so, was Reagan in bed with the Iranians to keep the hostages away until the election?

that's a conundrum for the ages  -- much-debated, tho' *technically* nothing's been proven.

[Gazoo]

BOS to the mighty Quarterflash.  Mark, did you know Elise from the Schwab days was a huge fan of this song?

[RGMike]

VHM Seafood Mama Quarterflash. I prefer to be half-flashed, myself.

[RGMike]

VHM Jr Walker's fab sax on "Urgent" -- otherwise, Foreigner was on the downside of creativity at this point.

I have a 12-inch of Shirley Brown (of "Woman to Woman" fame) doing a dance-diva version of this.

[Wayback]

CLASH!

[Tinka Cat]

missed the first few but QF was a rude welcome for me, (sorry Gaz).

BOS to those Foreigners (except for singer Lou Grammatico, the American)
                               
edit: oops, I meant especially for Lou...

[RGMike]

and it all comes tumbling down with the ONLY Clash track Dave knows/likes from Sandinista!, "Mag 'Trina". Sheesh, Dave -- I mean, really.  We were doing really well today until now.

[Gazoo]

"I smell love in the air"?  Eww!

[RGMike]

on the other hand, "Sushi Girl" just sucks.
