Dennis Miller sounds a lot like Herb Tarleck of WKRP.

I've never "done" a rock, but this song is so good I might try it some day.   

Ok, Buster Poindexter (David Johansen) was channeling Time Curry, no?

WKRP was such a great show.  One of my cow-orkers was promoted to Manager of Support a year or two back, but there aren't enough real offices for all the management.  So the took out a cube wall, and gave him his own two cube space instead.  Amused, I told him he should get some tape to further deliniate his "office".  And, since he's in his 30s, I had to explain the Les Nessman reference.

Fortunately, he's a good sport.

Given that we heard the Flying Lizards on  Tax Day, we didn't need to hear them again until next April.  LN.

OK, Buffet -- who I like more than most folks here -- is quite unnecessary.

WOS Neil Young's voice.

Canadians (from Ontario esp) have distinctive voices.  See also Geddy Lee.

I don't mind seeing Geddy Lee, as long as I don't have to hear him.  ;)

You can have him.  :P

Speaking of Ontario-ans, I guess I don't mind Bruce Cockburn's voice, although I can't say I'm crazy over it either.

Yeah, nice to hear this, but they did a few other songs (not many, but some).   Would be great to hear Transmission, for instance.  Love Will Tear Us Apart belongs in the "Rock songs that tranlsate well into lounge act songs" list  (see also, Door's Touch Me)

re: the date (from wikipedia):

"It was written in August 1979, and debuted when the band supported Buzzcocks on their UK tour in September and October 1979. ....
The song was first released in June 1980"
