Bowie's puttin' on his red shoes to dance the blues...

A good set for the first 8 tunes, with a slight drop off at the end.  Date is 5/8/07.

Definitely sticking around for tune #2.

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And a touch of a world that is older

can you get the swine flu from Mexican Radio? Somebody call Glenn Beck!  Ditto the BOS. I searched without success for a pic of the guy's face coming out of the beans.

unexpectedly relevant segue: Jerry Falwell, meet Greg Kihn!

another nifty segue from Dave:  Jerry Falwell (or someone who sounded a lot like him) ranting about AIDS=Homosexual promiscuity, Herpes=heterosexual promiscuity, and something about Roe v. Wade, into "Our Love's in Jeopardy".

FYI, Larry's doing a One Hit Wonder theme set. So far:

Come On, Eileen (the song title that becomes X-rated if you leave out the punctuation)
One Toke Over the Line
How Long
Let's get right to it.

That's my BOS #2.  A song that totally rocked in concert that year.

Very relevant comic today!

So that's what it was.  I couldn't figure how Brewere & SHipley could follow Dexys Midnight Runners in a 10@10 set & figured it must be Album Side Wednesday.

BOS #3 for Fagen

Fagen's gonna have a wing-ding!  Remember the KFOG Wing Ding? They've severed their relationship with Great America, apparently.  But all hail Tuesday Weld!

we note the cowbell in Fagen.. Let's file that one away for the next "Cowbell Set" -- not sure if Dave ever included that, but when he returns (let's think positively!) we shall lobby for this.
