I'd have been happier if they'd started (and ended) this VT a couple of years earlier, but am hoping Dave rises to the occasion. It is a Friday, after all.

Some nice pop flashbacks so far, particularly the Hues Corp.

by definition, VT = Just the Hits.  But "Love is Alive" is a fave, I always liked this better than "Dreamweaver".  Did someone do a dance version of this recently, or was that just a remix of the Joan Osborn cover?

And that's what we seem to be getting. Margaritaville is far from my fave JB (Buffett when he was good? Sounds like an oxymoron) but it is giving me more pleasant summertime flashbacks, drinking cheap beer and smoking cheap pot on some back road in the Sierra foothills when I was 17. Slack granted on this one.

VHM Mr Ravenscroft's sax.  Another flashback, tho' not to '78... My first visit to London (Summer of '83), I actually did wind my way down Baker St and had this song in my head the whole time.

Hey Beej, you ever do Thor's voice in any of your online personas?  I have to do so here in response to Mike:

VHM!?  I say thee, Nay!  By the Horns of Heimdal, Rafael Ravenscroft's sax solo doth verily merit a BOS!!
