Surprisingly not sucking after the first two.  "Look What You've Done For Me" is my favorite Al Green song, and I like Al Green.  The horn chords have an edge to 'em, doncha think?

indeed this has gotten off to a good start with a one-two punch.
But then I don't consider the Etta James "schmaltz".

Thank GOD for Etta James. Immediate BOS, it may not get any better than this.

then you gotta watch Color Of Money again sometime soon.  Newman is fantastic (although he was better in The Verdict, but how ya gonna beat Ben Kingsley's Ghandi that year?).

In the flick, Fast Eddie, Vincent & Carmen walk into a joint only to discover that the great Grady Seasons is in there.  Fast Eddie tells Vincent to take a dive so that the odds on him in Atlantic City will skyrocket, but when Vincent sees that Grady is a real condescending SOB he gets his Irish up & goes off, making shot after shot while dancing around the table to "Werewolves of London", even miming to the 'and-his-hair-was-perfect' line.  Of course Fast Eddie cuts him off afterwards & they don't meet again until Atlantic City.

One of these days when Dave plays a 'strictly instrumental' set we gotta get him to play the Knopfler tune from this soundtrack called "Two Brothers And A Stranger" named for one of the scams they play in the film.

Ah, now I remember.

Newman was great, but he had been given an honorary Oscar the year before, and I really thought Bob Hoskins deserved the award for Mona Lisa. But sentiment will out.

Guess I'm really anti-sentiment today, eh?

The Fogheads have spoken.  Have I told you lately how I feel about Fogheads?

Dave's already confirmed Marc Coen and Peter Gabriel will appear. Hope Irish Greg talks him into "God Only Knows", at least.

Yes: "Heart Of The Sunrise"  (oh my heavens! haven't heard this since I had the vinyl)

I believe Geoff said before that Chris Squire was not a very 'in the pocket' bassist.  I don't know what that means but it sounds profound, and if it were true on whichever song he made that comment it is certainly true here.  The bass is all over the place, but I like it.

I had it on cassette -- anyone remember Record Club of America? they "licensed" albums from other companies and offered them cheap (as most record clubs do) and their cassettes were The. Absolute. Worst., with bleed-through of other albums in the background (I guess they used recycled, un-erased tapes).

You mean you really don't know what movie Tom Cruise danced around to Werewolves of London in?  Hint:  someone else won an Oscar in this film.

Hmm... that means either Color of Money or Rainman and it's been a while since I've seen either.

VHM2: Van the Man

"Jackie Wilson said
it was reet petite."

used nicely in the little-seen Big Chill clone, Queens Logic. Joe Mantegna sings along with this song as it plays on the car radio as he drives across the 59th St Bridge.

VHM Spinners. "This... is our f--k in the road".  Yes, it's "Fork" but at the time I thought it was the other f-word and wondered how it was getting airplay

Avoiding V-Day altogether in Chi-town, I see.  BOS to "Cisco Kid" because it shows love for two of my favorite things: cheap wine and salted peanuts.

but, are they eating salted peanuts "out of cans" or "out of hand"?
