Hey! Wonder if we'll get any repeats from the NY set?
ETA:
And a pretty good TOTHC, too--one of my favorite Rush songs, of which there aren't a lot. I always loved this song for driving on the freeway!

Beej, Princess, to my side! We must defend Rush against the hordes of barbarian infidel!

If only.
aaaaack! noooooo! Ruuuuushhhh....

SSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAYLESMEEEENNNN!

BLECH RUSH!
Yay ALabama Getaway!

No no no! I don't get Rush.
-
I almost forgot to tune in b/c I was too busy reading Mark's wonderful recap of the Kent State murders over on the Misc thread.
Wish I'd stayed there a few more minutes, as I tuned in just in time for this horrendous Dead song. At least it's not "Shakedown Street," I guess. :/
Would rather hear K.C.'s "Please Don't Go" or the theme from "Greatest American Hero" today.
-
Getty Lee rocks. RUSH rules. I pity the fools.

Strange creatures that inhabit the body of...
TED KOPPEL!!!
Nice editing, Dave!
-
Unfortunately, I missed the RUSH because I had to help a coworker. Blech.
-
More nefariety from the military, this time about poor Pat Tillman, an admirable man who didn't deserve to die for his country's lies:

My heartfelt thanks, Stalwart One. The unbelievers were very nearly too much for me.

you'n'me both, bub.
The Peak's 1980 set earlier will be hard for Dave to top, given his unwillingness to think outside the early-'80s box he's in.
-
BOS: "Ashes to Ashes." Davy cleans out his closet. And the stiff funk suits my horrendous mood today. Segue from this into the Dandy Warhols' "You Were the Last High" and I'm all set.

Dead no Rush yes!????? So misguided.....
Any KC good.

that was genius, and probably the best thing we'll hear, clip-wise OR music-wise.

Won'tyoutakeBeejto.. funkYtown....

Re: "Funkytown":
Frank Zappa, dismissively: "Song's pretty white."
Davy Jones, annoyed: "Yeah, well, so am I."
-- from the Monkees film Head
-
In a nicer post, it's too bad there won't be a Saturday set for Dave to play City Boy.
-
"Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back."
And people treat this song as an anthem. No wonder Bruce is the most frequently misunderstood writer of our generation.
-
HM "Hungry Heart".
The River is one of the bestest double-albums everer.
hu-u-un-ger-y heeeeaart....
-
Damn. NY wins the Springsteen Derby, hands down. I'd much rather hear Sherry Darling (or any of half a dozen other songs from The River) than getting Hungry Heart for the umpteenth time. Flo & Eddie notwithstanding.
-
VHM Dire Straits. and Bruce. But "Sherry Darling" on the Peak earlier was exactly what I mean by the difference between the 2 sets.
Except for "Funkytown", this set is an all-too-accurate snapshot of where AOR was at in 1980. And that's why New Wave/"alternative" happened, chillun.
-

A-freaking-men.
Geez, even I know this song isn't intended as a guide to life or something. Dang.
Now, see- RUSH fans don't misinterpret RUSH... ; )
-
HM to a shoulda-been-hit, "All Night Thing." I know Alicat's getting her swerve on to this one.
-
HM All Night Thing
-
Dave trots out "All Night Thang" as his token black funker for the umpteenth time.

Heh. "Green Fairy".

-
Now this is getting my swerve on.
BOS to Rockpile, When I Write the Book. A bust-out, no?
-
BOS (but a weak one) to Rockpile, which is Gaz's WOS I suppose. The one example of Dave topping The Peak (they played "Teacher Teacher" this morning).
-
This "When I Write the Book" is a breakout for me. I kinda like it for the backing vox.
But I'm suddenly struck with the fear that Dave's gonna close this set with "One Trick Pony."
-

A fair guess, to be sure, but this works for me, as it's clearly not Dave Edmunds on the lead vocals.
-
BOS2 Zevon -- today's "Spot the Vinyl" I believe, which seems to have become a regular thing.
-
Well, I gotta say: Dave's pulled some less-played stuff for the latter part of this here 1980 set. At least less-played to these ears.
-
I Swear To God I'll Change!
It's a good thing Warren got a lot of love before he passed, because he truly shoulda gotten a lot more love during the first 20 years of his career than he did.
-
A near-WOS to a drunken Zevon for phoning it in. Like Hunter S. Thompson, he gets a pass on his uninspired stuff b/c he cuts such an indelible figure and the awful stuff seems part of his "persona."

Exactly what are your criteria for dishing pop/rock performers for being drunk?
And what's the point exactly?
-
So Gimme Katrina. OK song but I'm tired of it. Haven't recovered from the overplay 25 years ago.

ooo that was harsh. Not my fave Zevon tune, mind you -- I'd've preferred "Jeannie Needs a Shooter".
-

I think they're called Crankypants :roll:

I dock them points if their substance use leads them to release singles consisting of one verse repeated three times, with a single hook riding the entire way. Just seemed like he put no effort into that one, and that's where I pull out the claws.

Beej, Princess, to my side! We must defend Rush against the hordes of barbarian infidel!
The mists of time have parted and can no longer protect your mighty Rush, who now appear as mere pretensious wankers!

NU-UH! No way! RUSH didn't become pretensious wankers.
They already were pretentious wankers!
Pretentious wankers.... WHO ROCK!!!
SSSSAAAALLLLEEESS-MEN!

No. his mind is not for rent

I knew it wasn't right how I first spelled it. Beej had the good instinct to gradually correct it, if somewhat subconsciously!
