3 Jan 2012: it's... 1988
« on: January 02, 2012, 06:30:05 PM »
and I've already had to -1 the Wilburys. Sheesh.

But what I really hate is when you post a request and 3 mins later someone else requests a far-more-overexposed song by the same artist.

I think you are quite correct about the Wilburys, even if I wouldn't mind hearing them amidst most 80's dreck, but I think your criticism of the Living Colour tracks is unwarranted.  Glamour Boys is totally lightweight compared to Cult of Personality, and the rareness index cannot overcome its shortcomings.  JMTC
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

But "Glamour Boys" Is a very GAY lyric, even tho' Corey Glover wasn't officially out at the time.

Living Colour did a good cover of the THead's Memories Can't Wait.  I saw them (LC) do it at CBGB's, beeyotches.

Good is an understatement. THAT would be a hell of a cut for her to play from Vivid. Maybe that's where I saw you before -- at East Coast rock n roll shows in the late 80's.

You're right.  It's better than merely "good!".

I've only been to CBGB's a couple of times... Living Colour was def the biggest name I saw there.

Wait...he's da gay??

he a BIG o'l queen, honey.  I saw him at some event that ABC sent me to back in '89 or so; the lyrics of "Glamour Boys" had piqued my interest and when I saw him in person I put 2 + 2 together.  He's been touring as Judas in "JC Superstar" of late.

Corey's either bi, living a lie, or your gaydar went awry:

And Vernon Reid is the lyricist for Living Colour.
