Love the quotes from the movie, but Huey is the Katrina of Katrinas, soundly defeating the namesake in her own year.

"You wanna Pepsi, you're pay for it."

but with that I'm hitting the road for an appointment.

My final BOS goes to the next tune, #7.

Yup, easy BOS for "Can't There from Here".  REM was really a bright spot for me in the 80s.

Picked a good day to be late to the party, although I'm sorry to have missed the U2 song. C'est la vie.

BOS REM.
Let's get right to it.

BOS to R.E.M.

Took me a few time-outs to say so, though.  :/

What's the thought process that leads you to call yourself "Cock Robin"?

BOS1 to Godley & Creme...I didn't realize that Simple Minds had lifted "Cry" (title track of '02 flop) until I heard it last year!

and BOS2 to Mr. Mr.  Love that song.  Though if it was "Kyrie" it would have been WOS, easily.

VHM's to U2, A-Ha (only because I BOS'd it last time & didn't feel like BOS'ing it twice in a row), REM, and Cock Robin.

Dave,

Don't know that you'd have ever met, and possibly I already asked you, but one of Chris' freshman dormmates at Flo-Mo was a guy named Jeff Selman who is now a prominent VC lawyer in Palo Alto.  And one day a couple years ago I called him up and said "Are you at all an R.E.M. fan?" "Yeah, sure." "Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics from 'Can't Get There From Here'?...'cuz there's a recurring line about 'Lawyer Jeff'".

and he said "Cool, let me check that out."

WOS #2, Cockrobin.  "Holy Homoerotic Double-Entendre, Batman!"

BOS #3 Kate Bush.  Insert tragic anecdote that I don't have time for as now I really have to jump in the car and head south.
