12 Sept 2008: Dave's not here: a Classic from 1980

[mshray]

Seasons come and seasons go, but the ongoing love for John Waite never subsides.

VHM Baby's and now I'm really outta here.

OK, I liked the Babys in Bob's '78 set, but enuf is enuf, as Obama would say.

Double your Babys, double your Duds.

Mrs. Garrett shook Sue Ellen all night long!

WOS, though, to AC/DC; I deeply dislike almost everything I've ever heard from them.  Brian Johnson: worst vocalist in the history of ever.

Ms Garrett gets curvier... and curvier... and now she shakes me all nite long!  Talk about American thighs!



BOS3 AC/DC

The curse of the Northwest: no Portland date, just Seattle and Tacoma.

I'm less bummed about this than about David Byrne's skipping both Portland and Seattle.

BOS4 Devo. Excuse me while I Whip It!

[Tinka Cat]

well, I will have to find out later how the big wheel spins, but I don't like this Webster dude.

please elaborate -- I haven't exactly warmed up to him either, but I want to know what you dislike about him. Too young-and-snarky?

yeah, and just the wrong tonality of his voice. Not sympatico.  I don't wish him ill, he just doesn't do it for me.

He speaks with the same extra syncopation as Benson, not at all the smooth phrasing as Dave.  Sounds like he's performing, not
'talking'.

True, he does sound a lot like Benson, w a similar "I'm On The Mic Hear Me Now" affect.  I don't find him that annoying, though -- unlike Annalisa who induces me to whine back at her in a similar sing song voice... "Hello you phenomenal person, you!  Here's more Counting Crows  .. (pause) .. Enjoy! .. . (another pause) ... On KFOG!"

What if he tried announcing like Cronkite?

My BOS's came early--the Squeeze and Springsteen tunes, with VHMs to the AC/DC, Devo, and E-Beat songs. Just a couple of frequent fliers left to go (although I rather like one of them).
