29 April 2011--It's Knights, Dames and Knaves for Friday
« on: April 28, 2011, 12:50:05 PM »
In her comments on requests for the '69 set from Thursday, AL mentioned that we'd be likely to hear Dusty Springfield and "the boys from Abbey Road" in a special set on Friday. Hmmm...anyone got a clue as to what theme she might be working on?

Perhaps it has to do with the Royal Wedding Friday of William & Kate.

Yeesh -- I could imagine a set of wedding songs but sounds like she's doing an all-British thing. Hrm.

Or perhaps British artists doing songs of love?

Per FB, it's a set of royal rock by various lords, knights, and other of Britain's rock gentry. So I guess that means it's Beatles, Stones, Elton, and perhaps Boomtown Rats? But how does Dusty Springfield figure? She's a Brit but was she ever given an MBE? 

ETA: Ah, I see she got an OBE on the day she died, per wikipedia.

Bah.  I've done everything I can to ignore this Royal Wedding nonsense, and AL throws this at us.  Oh well, the music should save us.  I wonder if she'll play the Princess Di version of "Goodbye Norma Jean".

I saw some of it on telly at the hospital today. The nurses were really grossed out by the idea of condoms with the couples pictures on them.

Dame Shirley Bassey?  I wouldn't have guessed.

I wouldn't stand by Annie Lennox either, if she's going to keep shouting like that.
