31 May 2011: it's... 1978
« on: May 30, 2011, 07:33:25 PM »
RIP Jeff Conaway...

And deliver us from "Hot Child in the City", "At the Station" and (aaack) "Thunder Island", among the first requests in the thread.

ETA: and "Excitable Boy"? seriously?

Hate to keep bashing Fogheads -- it's almost too easy -- but how long has AL been doing the "here's tomorrow's year/make your requests" shtick now? Yet there's a post on her FB page from some woman saying "Looking forward to 10@10, and hope that it's a good year! (60s or 70s)"  Er, scoll down a couple of inches, babe...

aaack! "Greased Lightning". Kenickie lives!  Can't honestly BOS or HM this but nice to hear a song from Grease that's actually from the original stage score.

No kidding. It's just one step above those jackasses who post "This July has three Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. This is called 'snake eyes', and it hasn't happened in 858 years".

Try 2005. Yes, it bugs me more than it should, but that's life lately.

First a hickey from Kenickie -- now a lap dance from Seger.

No such luck. Still a great song, though.

was wondering about this.   Is Conaway featured more heavily on this version?

RIP to Jeff.  he came in to where I where I worked about 10 years ago and he looked sorta bad.  

I always think of 1983 when I hear Seger's OLRnR b/c of Ricky Business.

I've always been under the impression  that the 45 versions of this and "Summer Nights" were remixed to de-emphasize the cast members who weren't ONJ or JT (you can barely hear Stockard Channing on "Summer Nights) so this musta been the LP version.

OMFG! BOS2 H&O with my request -- I'm on a roll here lately.
