BOS to Kinks, of course.

That Johnny Clegg song wasn't that bad.  Does it belong in this set?  that's certainly debatable.

To me it's an uber-Moreytrina from... whatever late-'80s year that was. Reason enuf to avoid it. I understand AL's logic ("it's our world -- love it!") but still.

What will be the next 'themed' set? Mothers Day? We've had a few too many recently, I am sorry to say.

April is just one of those (cruelest?) months. But yeah, Mothers Day  -- 2 Fridays from now. Cue the Intruders. (I'll still be in NYC)

OK, I'd've *MUCH* preferred Kermit's version of "...Green".  Green is Universal! (and Comcast and NBC and...)

NTM?

New to Me.
The song and the acronym are NTM - they always seem so obvious afterwards
HM to the Van

This Van is NTM.  Sounds kinda TOP-like in the left channel, except for that nasty soprano sax, presumably played by Van himself.

ETA: I didn't even realize this was Kermit's song until I looked at the lyrics. I like it.

Thankfully, we'll in all likelihood be spared a Ka-Boom! set. Sorry for being a crankypants, but I think I re-entered the cynical mode with the "San Francisco" set of a couple of weeks ago.

Sax solos seem to be haunting me lately...
BOS Marvin, 3DN, TH (yay Johnny Marr!), Kinks & VM.

I was pleasantly surprised with this set.  It could've been cliche after cliche a la Swellegant's beloved SF set.    ;)

Yeah, AL clearly wanted a balance between "message" songs and fun. Dave's Earth Day sets were much more political, as were his sets generally.
