Cure, Crowes, Lemonheads, U2, Tom Cochrane, Matthew Sweet... yeah, it's '92.

TOTALLY agreed on the RHCPs. "Pretend We're Dead" always struck me as a tad too stoopid.

Rob and AL on the same page today.  Joni's "Free", BTO TCB, OMD Get to Heaven, EJ goes down and Mott roll away the Stone.

Always nice to hear the orig 45 mix of "Rebel Rebel"; Wet Willie... notsomuch.

Look here brotha: uber-BOS Zappa, "Cozmik Debris"! Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?

Rob in '78! woo hoo! "Top o' the World", ma! (sez Cheap Trick). Missed Broooce in the badlands and the Dan on the FM.

Mick got some Puerto Rican gurls dat's jus' dyin' to meetchoo!

BOS1 the great John Prine, "Fish & Whistle".

BOS2 Mink DeVille, "Mixed-Up Shook-Up Girl".

Mr Ocasek still needs "someone to feed": Paulina eats like a bird. Models. Oy. 

VHM Gary Busey when he was... well, less crazy.

BOS3 David Jo, funky funky but -- oh, CHIC!

ETA: Rob's backannounce, " 'Funky But Chic', not to be confused with 'funky butt-cheeks' " LOL!

Seger's still the same.  Nick Lowe's in the Heart of the City -- BOS4.

Amazing that all these songs were on the airwaves (in NYC, anyways) in June of '78.
