Jesus Christ, it's Judas Priest! 

I always thought the phrase was "another thing coming", and that's what they're saying, eh?  But I've been told it's supposed to be "think".  What's up with that?

Rob's certainly played the Stranglers if no one else has.

Dave's only ever played two Stranglers tunes, both in 1986, "Dreamtime" & "Ghost Train" with the former being a major Katrina.

DUUUUDE! it's a play on words!  Rob Halford, in a leather codpiece, and folks were TOTALLY surprised when he came out.

Whoever told you that is seriously misinformed.

It was originally think, as in 'if you think thus-and-so, you've got another think coming' (i.e you are dead wrong to think that).

But somehow the the pop culture corrupted it because the soft final g is easier to enunciate than the hard final k.

I think it means "Hey all you phobic Priest fans, just wait to see what I'm gonna reveal in a few years!"

I confess that this set is not exciting me -- AL says she's an "Eighties gal" but this is too close to DM territory for the most part (JP and the Stranglers notwithstanding).

I don't get it.

Anyway, it appears you can say it either way.  I'll have to ask William Safire to waste a column on it.

Yeah, the Square Pegs "totally different head" clip that led into Goody Two Shoes is a DM staple, too.

without trying that hard, Dave Wakling is prob the artist I've seen more than any other

82: Beat (REM opened!)
85: Gen Pub
92?: Dave @ Footstock (after Bay to Breakers)
06: saw Dave doing sound check in vegas at Mandalay Bay pool, he was to play later that night for Oracle conventioneers
08: Dave at Folsom Street Faire

.. and there might be another appearance in there somewhere I've forgotten about.

I second that.  This song was pretty big in 81, but I guess it was still going in 82.
