eeek^2.  Petty, for the last time: don't come around here no more with your broken wings, mister.

WOS1: Crapton, revvah man, revvah man, revvah man.

BOS Fogerty: "RnR Girls" is much preferable to "Old man..." or "Centerfield".

LN: Bowie/Metheney -- this has been in every '85 set recently, it seems.

BOS2: JCM, "Minutes to Memories"

VHM DLR  -- he digs da gurls! 

LN2: "Money 4 Nuthin'"

WOS2 Thorogood; WOS3 Heart.

woo hoo fo' da seven-two! Ya don't mess around with Stroud.

BOS1 Yes, "L-D R-A"; BOS2 da Stones, gettin' they rocks off.

BOS3 the Dan's "Midnight Cruiser", onetime Morey fave that sounds real good this morning.

Duuuude! it's a prog-fest!  VHMs ELP and Tull. I'm morphing into Rod!

WOS Grand Funk, stompin 'they feets.

LN: the Doobs find Jeezus. Why do I feel like their Jesus is a GOP one while the Byrds' Jesus was a lefty-Dem one?

I'd've preferred if the trailer for Deliverance had been followed by "Dueling Banjos", but Neil's banjos will have to suffice.

proxy of shray: the Moodies.

Jim Croce - Don't Mess Around With Jim 
Yes - Long Distance Runaround   
Rolling Stones - Rocks Off 
Steely Dan - Midnight Cruiser 
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Form The Beginning   
Jethro Tull - Living In The Past   
Grand Funk Railroad - Foot Stompin' Music   
Doobie Brothers - Jesus Is Just Alright   
Neil Young - Old Man   
Moody Blues - I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)

ETA: The Drive now has Santana's "Smooth" in regular rotation.

Stroud? My Google search indicates he would be an NYPD officer killed in the line of duty in '72 and for whom a playground is now named.

Duuuude! the Hatchet's flirtin' with a WOS. It's like warmed-over Skynyrd covered with Aerosmith sauce.

Fri 2/10/12: 1981

Bob shares a year with AL today; which set will have more LNs?? (I'm guessing Bob's will have more WOSes)

LN1: "Freeze-Frame". The Police channel Ricky Ricardo -- "every leetle thin' she does ees mazhik"

LN2 and WOS1: LoverSagaBoy, "Turn Me On the Loose"

Seger's been sounding good this week.  BOS "Tryin' to Live My Life w/out You"

LN3/WOS2: Journey.

all Triumph's songs sound the same so I can't tell if "Fight the Good Fight" is a bustout or not. WOS3 in any case.

WOS4: *Nobody* can stand it, Crapton.

Tom Cochrane to Red Rider: "hey guys, lets do a song that sounds like an outtake from The Wall! It'll be a big hit!"

NOOOOO! Bob plays the other half of LoverSagaBoy in the same set! WOS5 "Workin for the Weak End" (and I *do* mean WEAK)

LN4: "Abacab" There's a hole in this somewhere, alright.

J.Geils Band - Freeze Frame 
Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic 
Saga - On The Loose 
Bob Seger - Trying To Live My Life Without You 
Journey - Open Arms 
Triumph - Fight The Good Fight
