BOS, The Tubes.  Cow Orkers kept me from most of this set, however.  :(

First time in awhile I've had any possibility of a BOS tie: Amazing Rhythm Aces and the Tooobes.
Let's get right to it.

oops -- was that the F-word?  Didn't AL get in trouble for playing the uncensored version last year?

Renee: "y'know, just because I don't 'get' something, doesn't mean I won't play it for you"  Er, wha?

So a number of RR's clues involved the Stones. Given that there wasn't a Stones album released in '75, are we going to hear something off of It's Only Rock & Roll (74) or Black & Blue (76)?

Her clues frequently don't match up to anything in the actual set, not even news/TV/movie clips.

I know, that was meant more as a rip on Renee than as a serious question.

Renee's delicate sensibilities have been assaulted by WPOD.

They cut "fucking" out of the "my folks are so...rich" line but did she miss "I'm all fucked up"? Nice.

Will she go back and edit it out for tonight's replay / online edition, or will she leave it be?

Good Gawd: uber-uber-uber-LN "Born to Run" as TOTHK.

I'm okay with it -- not BOS because it's not very adventurous, but still a VHM because it's such a great song.  Kind of like Led Zep's "Rock and Roll" in the '71 set.  Not very necessary at all, but I never mind hearing it.

Think there will be a '60s set tomorrow? Today matches the longest gap between '60s sets in the DC/RR era - 17 (week)days.
Given that we've hit the '70s twice already this week, my money is against it.

I agree.  I think '71 was our "sixties" set.  Although I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised, I would
wager that it will either be early '90s, or... ack!  No, I can't even say it!

TOTHK - Springsteen "Born To Run"

As a former resident of the Garden State who has spent more time driving on Highway 9 and
other similar state highways than any random thousand Bruce fans combined (and yes, engaged
in traffic light drag-racing thereon), may possibly have only two degrees of separation from him,
and knew about Freehold long before he became nationally famous, I have to say I just don't get
his over-the-top popularity.

Sure, he's okay.  I wouldn't turn down free tickets.  There are plenty of worse bands.  But really...

Maybe it's because I went to school with too many "Bruces."  Maybe it's because I knew the
area too well to ever see it in a romanticized rosy glow.  (In fact, that rosy glow comes from
the refineries et. al. in the industrial waste land in communities that surround Port Elizabeth.
"Kiss me where it smells," she said.  So I took her to Secaucus.)

Bruce is just another New Jersey punk that happened to luck out and make it big.

1975... pop/rock teeters on the edge of the cliff before falling into the abyss that is '76 to '78.
A set that was not improved by the usual "hit" selections from that year.  Sigh.

Springsteen and U2 are the most overrated acts in rock history. That said, both are good, and I like both of them.
