Wed 3/20/13: "Rock" as a noun

Gary Glitter and Bob Seger both loves them some R'n'R. The ages of their girlfriends is where they differ...

Seger gives us 2 "rock" songs here.

BOS Mr Simon, working his "who doo" on "Loves Me Like a Rock"

"Third Rock From the Sun," Joe Diffie? WTF?  This was an early-'90s country hit. Did it actually chart pop?

"Croc Rock" beats cock-rock any day.

More animals: "Rock Lobster" -- isn't this a adjective here?

Huey's got a big throbbing... heart. of R'n'R.

inevitable uber-LN: Joan Jett.

Thur 3/21/13: Bob goes from rocks to stones...

"Heart of STONE" by the STONEs. heh. uber-BOS, one of my all-time-favorites by Mick 'n' da boyz.

clever segue to "Like a Rolling STONE". And it's rare for this station to play 2 '60s songs in a row.

Joe Walsh turns to STONE.

WOS: Journey, "STONE in Love"

I'd love it if they played Eddy Grant "Romancing the STONE"

gotta bail, but VHM Van the Man -- apparently, it STONEd him.

and BOS2 Monkees, "Steppin' STONE"!

[RGMike]

Fri 3/22/13: Bob's flying.

Beatles "Mr Kite" -- uh, wouldn't "Flying" have made more sense?

BOS1 REO "Time For Me To Fly"

Lenny K wanna fly away. Some of us wish he would.

inevitable I suppose, but LN/WOS Sugar Ray.

"Worry worry, super-scurry/Send the troops out in a hurry" -- man, the English version of "99 Luftbaloons" is painful. Talk about lost in translation!

also inevitable: uber-LN2 Steve "like an eagle" Miller. Hey, Steve: how's the people?

LNs 3 & 4: TP nad the Foos.

uber-BOS2 R.Kelly "I Believe I Can Fly" -- Renee really needs to play this in whatever year it's from.
