After the Journey and MAW tunes, Drive doesn't seem nearly so objectionable. Actually it was almost tolerable, even then. Those 10cc references softened the blow, no doubt.

Back to the cheeze counter. A-ha is another that has me reaching for the volume control.
Let's get right to it.

I'll actually give "Safety Dance" a VHM -- not one that was overplayed by Dave.

who's gonna drive ya home?

Well the MW/OH was a rarity in the Dave years, 1 of it's 3 appearances was in a Turkey Day set at my request, so I give it BOS #1.

Since this set isn't getting anyone too worked up, here's a couple of M3S using songs we've already heard to liven up the hour:

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground
Sweet - Ballroom Blitz

Cars - Drive
Beatles (Yay!) - Something
Heart - These Dreams

I've always liked this one.  And you should definitely watch this:

WOS2 the English-as-a-2nd-or-3rd-language of A-Ha.

Yikes, Robert Palmer, not meaning to turn us on for the 2nd time in less than a week.  Continuity alert!

Uh, we heard this on Friday, no?   I don't think AL meant to turn this on.

Thursday, but close enough. Guess she figured since we kinda liked hearing it last week, we wouldn't mind hearing it again.

Another WOS to Big Mac, even if it's not the Goat on lead vox.

the *other* Big Mac may be returning to baseball as the Cards' hitting coach. I'm sure he's still loved in STL,  but do they really want that PR distraction?

I bet she didn't even check to see what was played last week.

another VHM to Winwood, just 'cause it's not "Roll With It".

AL may have only done a few clunkers in her tenure as 10@10 producer, but this has outdone all of 'em. Possibly the worst set in the last 5 years. Truly awful.

Well, it's rarer, but it's just soooooo MOR I can't abide it.  Yawn.

Dave had that happen a few times with new sets right after a "classic" -- what are the odds, really?

heh, I'm glad I went over to the Sound for much of this set.  They're doing songs featuring piano.  Ray Charles doing What'd I Say (live) made my morning.

Now it's some BJ action , I think.  NY State of Mind

Saw that too, and I think it is totally in character for LaRussa to do that.  And as far as McGwire's love level in St. Louis, they changed the name of the main freeway that connects downtown to the airport, so I think he'll be okay.
