20 Aug 2010... it's Local Scene: the '70s!

[Lightnin' Rod]

Odds of Journey and "Lights" finishing off the set -- pretty damned high, I would think.

I've never been happier to see a prediction not come true.

Amen. Probably my least favorite Journey tune. And arguably my least favorite SF-related song.

Have you heard that SF song now in rotation on KFOG -- much, much worse.  Just horrendous.  Gag.

For the 1980's (and what are the chances we'll have 1968, 1978, 1988 and 1998 sets to round out the week?):

Journey and Huey Lewis I have to think are givens.
Romeo Void
Starship, preferably still with the Jefferson
more Pointers?
Night Ranger (I would vote for "Sentimental Street")

that's just off the top of my rapidly-diminishing mind.

Girlfriend's gotta play Glamorous Life - Sheila E. & We Care A Lot - Faith No More next week!
You're probably right about the Embarcadero Freeway.  I'm a true SF local - a NON driver, so I tend to get my freeways mixed-up.

AL said this was only part one of the 70s local scene, so Journey 'wtwg' still might appear.   So that means Journey can appear next week AND the week after!

that's by Train.  it was discussed here a while back as being a very good Stones imitation.

[Wayback]

"Friday on My Mind" - Earthquake!

Woohoo!  Speaking of first concerts... they opened a Day on the Green that was mine (The Winter Bros, seperate and together, Skynrd, Climax Blues Band, and EQ)

Day On The Green concerts!

indeed, but that was before it ("Save Me San Francisco") became massively overplayed.    It's still better than "Hey Soul Sister", tho'.

"Like a virgin,you're Madonna/
And I'm always gonna wanna"

Sheesh.

I'm sure they're overplayed on KFOG, but since I don't listen that much, when I *do* hear them they seem to be ok.

That's easy to do - I'll let this go  

Played "We Care A Lot" as an iPOD extra recently - funny how much more I appreciate them now than I did in their heyday.

And how could I forget about Sammy Hagar?

"Save Me San Francisco" is at least the second SF-based hit by Train - "Get To Me", which was featured in a phone commercial had some rather vague driving instructions.

This one makes me lose my will to live:
I"m so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest.  WTF??

that means "I'm so infatuated with you that I haven't gone to the gym in ages.  Dang, I'm out of shape.  Maybe I could score with your if I hit the weight machine, but I just can't stop thinki....  Oh look, here's half a bag of chips... Mmmphh...."

"I'm so gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of "

It's really just one insipid rhyme/'80s song reference after another.
