Wed 2/27/13: 1979

Journey when they were... transitioning.

LN: the Pinko Floyds.  VHM Tim the Enchanter.

LN2 JJ, "ISRGOWH" -- anything else from this LP would be uber-BOS.

how did "Those Shoes" become the go-to "deep" track from The Long Run? I'd give anything to hear "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks".

Pretty much anything by ZZT is a Drive-specific LN.  Ditto AC/DC.

Sting moonwalks wit da po-po's.

BadCo, "Gone Gone Gone" -- which they would be, shortly thereafter.

WOS Dirty White Foreigner; uber-uber-LN-infinity: Supertramp.

Journey - Just The Same Way
Pink Floyd - Young Lust
Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him
Eagles - Those Shoes
ZZ Top - I Thank You
Police - Walking On The Moon
Bad Company - Gone, Gone, Gone
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Foreigner - Dirty White Boy
Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger

1979 was a transitional year. I think I started the year with a bonafide parted-in-the-middle do -- feathered of course (goes without saying really).  Call it a disco holdover, white trash rock look..either is ok.  As the year moved along, so did my part, and I ended the year with more of a preppy look. Higher and tighter, but still wanting to show off the natural body and highlights nature graced me with back then.


Just to be clear, we're talking about pubes here, right?

Thur 2/28/13: 1976

If you take Ex-Lax during the day, you'll probably have night moves.  LN1 Seger.

LN2 lowdown dirty Boz

jeezus we're 3-for-3: uber-LN3 Steve Miller.

And Queen makes it 4.

uber-BOS Burton Cummings still-fab "Stand Tall".  VHM Richard Perry's stellar production.

Oy: Uber-uber-LN5 Kansas.  I don't know if I can, er, carry on. "Nothing equals suspenders!"

Styx have crystal balls. heh.

VHM "Year of the cat", just 'cause we got an edited version on AT40 last week and this is the  full LP cut.

Boston are smokin' and tokin' and I'm chokin'.

on the one hand, I've no real use for live Skynyrd. But this the only other rarity here besides Burton Cummings. I wonder: are the Skynyrds still anti-gun?

Bob Seger - Night Moves 
Boz Scaggs - Lowdown 
Steve Miller Band - Rock 'N Me 
Queen - Somebody To Love 
Burton Cummings - Stand Tall 
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son 
Styx - Crystal Ball 
Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat 
Boston - Smokin'   
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Saturday Night Special (live)

overall I give this effort a D-minus.

Fri 3/1/13: 1984

Oy. I shudder to think what this might entail.

well, can't really argue with VH's "Jump" as TOTHK.

VHM Pretenders "BOTCG"

BOS Spinal Tap clips.



VHM Broooce in his Caddy

T.Heads in '84 doing a live version of an '83 hit is cheating, sez me.

You might think the Cars are LN. You think right.

Living in Minnesota at the time, I tried my best to part down the middle but one side would rise above the other pretty consistently.  Uff da to the Scandinavians and their straight hair.
