Oh, I dunno.  I've always liked "The Voice."  The opening for some reason made me think it was "We Are the World" and we were getting a special-event set.  Yikes.

Was expecting '90s today, though.

off to a meeting -- I may miss most of this. I guess there's some Styx involved, huh?

Glad I'm sticking with my Robin trower on DDT for the time being.

Probably got to meet a customer in a few minutes, so might not hear this set at all.

VERY good, Mr. Kreskin!
Let's get right to it.

Styx: Big flashback to 81. I think this was a main song at my prom. Best of times might have been the theme.

"Tonight's the night we make history / Honey, you and I"

Doesn't get any cornier, children.  But I like it.

Any, any chance on earth of hearing Marty Balin's "Hearts" today?  It was a Top 10 hit but Dave's never played it since I've been listening (10 years as of next September!).

I think Styx may have been very big among prom theme songs. Come Sail Away, The Grand Illusion, stuff like that. I wonder if any school ever used Renegade for their prom theme? ;-)

Controversy. Also very evocative of 81 for me. I listened to this vinyl a lot.

1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 195, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989...

hello, it's the 80s.  With very few exceptions, it was a corny decade, people.  Who took any music seriously? Enjoy it for what it was...  

airbrush, cheesy 80s music fan all the way (and yes I do have other decades of music represented on my iPod)

If you're reading, please feel free to axe that other Topic I started for today's set. We certainly don't need two, and this one seems to be getting the traffic.

Although I'm still wondering when we're going to hit 1996. Good chance tomorrow, I am thinking.
