no expectations. Seger and Genesis to start.

WOS "7 Bitches 'ho'ed" from Eagles Overdubbed Live

LN: Pete's love opens the door.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! WOS2 Rush. I have "FreeWill" too, Geddy -- and I choose to hate your godawful band.

Fri 7/27/12: Telephone Tunes

you guessed it: Tommy Tutone to start.  Has to get better, I'm hoping.

ELO on the "Line"

WOS1 Genesis.

Vaughan Bros, "Telephone Song". Meh.

well it was either "Hangin' on the Telephone" or "call Me" from Blondie. We get the latter.

VHM the Dan on Slowhand Row.

BOS Mr Croce.

WOS2 Foreigner.

another flashback to an AL set from earlier this week: Sugarloaf. (I'm still gobsmacked that there were people who had never heard this song)

Beatles "If I Needed Someone" is a bit of a stretch. Couldn't find a copy of Meri Wilson's "Telephone man"?
