Is it...Mike & The Mechanics??
I missed the intro except for the last bit. What did AL say about "adding Mike to the list"? Did somebody else die? I'm waiting for the third person to die in as many days, as they often do...

no, it's a tribute to a longtime Foghead. And we've had FOUR people die this week: Clark, Frid, Helm, and the Men At Work dude.

WHAT?!?! Levon Helm died?

the Pee-Wee clips need to be retired for a while.

But OMFG: uber-BOS2 Kirsty MacColl covering Billy Bragg!  I'm on FY-uh with getting requests played lately.
Big BOS for Kirsty MacColl song I've never heard before (speaking of dead singers...).

I'll dig up the Billy Bragg version. he wrote an extra verse for her because she wanted to record the song but it was kinda short.

yes, absolutely. I've been requesting it intermittently for over a year. Pays not to give up, I guess.

Here's the Billy Bragg version (well, a truncated clip anyway):
