I waited... please don't dupe me!

Nice start with Michelle Shocked, "If Love was a Train". Indeed.

I did, but deleted. I defer to you anyway, as I missed the intro and had no idea what year it was outside of later 80s.
Let's get right to it.

I'll be gone from today's and tomorrow's set -- heading to New Haven in an hour for an extended date -- but here's hoping for Nu Shooz in 1988.

Also, should we have been surprised that we were able to Drive today?

The clue is in who the "Thursday Artist Portrait" is featuring -- if it's one artist only (say, Springsteen) then RIAA rules kick in. But if it's a dual or triple spotlight (or a career-spanning thing featuring multiple bands, as it might be for Clapton) then we're golden. This week... well, check out their sense of humor:

"Join us all day today for a Thursday Artist Portrait double feature as we take a look at the careers of John "Cougar" Mellencamp and David "Iggy Pop" Bowie on 97.1 FM The Drive."

Feh! Early WOS: Clapton's entirely mercenary remake of After Midnight.

Nice segue. Jimmy Swaggart, "Sweet Child O' Jesus" LOL!

BOS to the occasionally-heard Cruella DeVille, the 'Mats contribution to Stay Awake.

BOS - Stay Awake album
I love this CD - lots of great talent doing Disney classics

BOS3: Sting, "Englishman in NY".  This is a surprisingly pleasant '88 set, except for the lame Clapton and "Under the Katriny Way"... and we know how down I am on '88 sets.

spoke too soon: Dave's other fave '88 Katrina: "Sister Madly".  At least it's short.

BTW, Dave again did that no-commercials-before-the-set thing -- so we started at, like, 9:53.  Something new to increase ratings, I'm guessing.

Sorry I'm late. Sorry I missed The 'Mats.

I'm having a terrible day at work. This place is like a Kafka story- only not as well-written. I get treated really badly here. The investment bankers showed me more respect than this. I basically got chewed out over something that was beyond my control. It's a long, involved, stupid little story that I can't even make my fingers recount right now.

Ugh. I'm lucky, though. At least I didn't get blown up on my way to work this morning.
nakes? On my plane?
