Nope -- 1979. This sucks -- Dave's Earth Day set is one of my very faves of the year.

I rarely hear this Babys song, so I never noticed until now that John Waite recycled its "Every time I think of you" opening line for "Missing You."  He can self-plagiarize, no matter what his friends say.

I'll do Earth Day on my blog on Friday - just to have an excuse to post "Out in the Country."  Today I wanted to do something bitter, though.

The Babys song led two '79 sets from 2007--good stuff in both of 'em.

Ah, this is the first of those, from Jan 10, 2007. Both sets have Supertramp and Dire Straits representation, and there's a '79 evergreen that shows up in both, as well as a few other nuggets. Should be enjoyable.

Melanie once sang "Bitter Bad", but I say bitter good.  (Fine blog post, bub.)

I'll be posting Earth Day clips on Facebook all day to make up for this KFOG heresy.

I always thought that was a clip from Thank God It's Friday. Which would mean one of those women was Debra Winger. But I could be wrong.
