I really really wanted a van when I was a teenager.  Used to buy van mags (whither the van mag?), make plans, etc.  Fortunately, muscle cars brought me to my senses.

We all did--c'mon, a bed on wheels, what teenager with raging adolescent hormones wouldn't want one? Of course, then gas went up over a dollar a gallon and they became somewhat less practical. :)
Let's get right to it.

those saxy swedes should tone it down a bit.  not one of my fave ABBA tunes

Second time in four days for that one, after it appeared on this weekend's Casey Countdown.

VHM to ELO, which I mostly missed due to yet another awkward and strained conversation with my brother (we're not close).

yes, I punish Stacy w the AT40 shows every weekend, and we both cringed and winced through this same old-timey ABBA sax-fest this past weekend, too.


As I said this weekend, it's the Greatest. Connie Francis. Single. she never recorded. So you either like that sorta thing or you don't.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

oh yeah, you did mention that.  I will seek it out.   I can probably handle Connie over Agnetha, Frida, Bennie and Björn.

meant to mention yesterday this was the 2nd '76 in a row where Dave played that Vanessa Redgrave clip in the wrong year.
