he's a world class talk-singer, like Lou Reed!

Can we name some other Talk-Singers to make this set interesting?

Sure. Martin Fry from ABC comes to mind

WOS2 RHCP -- If we had to hear rap in '87, I'd've MUCH preferred the Beasties.

[Tinka Cat]

based on the accents, that sounds like a Canadian news report on AIDS.

Chili Peppers?  another BOS..!

At least the album title was interesting: The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

I was quite glad to hear that buzzer. 2 uninspired sets in a row -- Dave's mind is in Michigan.

And the Dead win BOS; Fogheads are SOOOOO predictable.

So I guess we have an East Coast/West Coast White Boy Rap feud going on here?

well, it certainly stands out among the songs played.  You may not care for its bouncy attitude, but the song was a definite phenomenon back then, and not just among old burnt out deadheads!

I would of gone through the other 9 before I listed the Dead as BOS. Hell, I would of added 1,000 more songs from 1987 before I listed the Dead as BOS.
