sorry, Cars = Ocasek to me, regardless of who's singing.

VHM to the Talking Heads! I didn't even realize it was them 

And Sylvester can get a BOS too.

had to leave my post while this one played... Loooooove  this album.  I wore out my cassette!

I'm cleeeeeeeening,
I'm cleeeeeeeeening again,
cleaning my brain!

Set's over, so pass me one of those 21 Guns. I feel like shooting myself.

21 Guns yet again follows the set.  at least they're consistent.

BOS# Cheap Trick, awesome -- AWESOME! -- rock band!!!!

Cannot agree more.

Were you in SF when they did the three-night run at the Music Hall, playing their each of first three albums on consecutive nights? I think they were one of the first to use that gimmick, now everyone's doing it.

yes! I saw night #2, In Color.  I should've gone all three nights....
Saw them a few years later a GAMH, then once more in that Marin Sonoma fair in 06, maybe?

21 guns 21 times a day is more than enuf!

BTW, they're using "Know Your Enemy" in the trailer for The Spy Next Door, a godawful-looking Pacifier/Kindergarten Cop knockoff with Jackie Chan. Painful.

3 BOS's & 2 VHM's...it's safe to say that Annalisa has made me a fan of 1978 now!    (She already knocked out 1981, 1980, & 1979....4 years in her first year.)

AAAAAAAAACK!!! "Thunder Island"!  Oh. No. You. DIH-unt!

great set~

coulda used some Joe Walsh, though!  

ETA: Wait a minute.. I realized just as I submitted this comment that the great Joe Walsh is on Thunder Island. (He plays on this Jay Ferguson track).   If fact, I think he ran for president of Thunder Island, but narrowly lost to Ric Ocasek.  

How Ya Doin'?

I recorded this set -- msg me w your deets for the link.

Would not be at all surprised, as Jay Ferguson was the keyboardist in Joe's band around this time.
