1 Nov 2012: it's... 1980
« on: November 01, 2012, 09:56:37 AM »
gotta be a '70s or '60s day, no?

NO. 1980 -- well, Ramones is a nice start.  Wait, the commercial for the LP precedes the song. Not bad.  BOS1.

OK, call me crazy, but didn't Renee play "Starting Over" in an '81 set recently?

ETA: Yes, she did. 2 weeks ago. Sheesh. LN2

Was My Darling Clementine really the background music in the Brooke Shields Calvin Klein commercial? And was it really 1980? That would have put her at 14/15.

I'm guessing this Dire Straits is LN, but it's one of my favorite radio songs of the time.
