13 Jan 2012: it's... 1974!

Webster just made AL giggle. Of course, that's not hard to do.

Ha!  I liked that little exchange.  You could tell her laugh wasn't forced.  And what Webster was saying -- how he used to put his Radio Shack cassette (pronounced "CASS-ette") recorder up to the TV to record shows -- rang true for me, too.  In his case he recalls recording California Jam.  In my case, although a few years later, I would be a devotee of recording SNL episodes.

Hahaha! I did that too! I started in 76 or so. I remember seeing the Blues Brothers come on, and my mom said "Belushi is getting fatter and fatter." My dad didn't hear her the first time so she said it again! Wish I knew where that tape was...

gosh, me, too.  I got into it during the 77-78 season, I think.  I could recite some of the sketches word for word.  I wonder where those Lo-Noise cassettes went...

uber-BOS4 Madeline Kahn.

and uber-uber-BOS5 this obscurity from Richard & Linda Thompson.

Okay, NOW we're talking!  Uber-BOS to the song after the 6 million dollar man clip.  I know what it is, but am not spoiling for the streamers.

Hint:  One of the great guitar intros of all time.

I dunno... "Joanna" and "Jump" were both big when I was 13, so it's possible they're targeting me.

Well, that answers my question. Thanks. I was 7, and definitely fall in that target group. But can there really be enough people to finance a concert?

I'm guessing that most VH fans would at least tolerate Kool, as long as, as was previously mentioned, "Cherish" is avoided.

I can't bring that tune to mind. It must be awful.

I'll let you Google it, but I refuse to provide a link.

one of the worst lyrics ever:  "Cherish the love we have.." 

makes me cringe every time.

BitchOS

Does Paul Anka make ya cringe too?

no, but why do you ask?  In fact, I think he's pretty cool, (mostly based on an interview I heard him do on Howard Stern a few years back.)   Please don't tell me he covered Cherish...!

Live Lou is another too-frequent-flier (esp in the Morey era), good as it is. VHM.

it's certainly making this set a long one if not a great one.

Well, it's not as if AL can get away with playing "Heroin."

Sort of a TANC: my former Voice colleague Chuck Eddy just wrote a package of the 50 worst cover songs ever, and the Cowboy Junkies' slowdown of "Sweet Jane" made the cut.  Read on: http://www.complex.com/music/2012/01/the-50-worst-cover-songs-of-all-time/

Oh, this looks like a good list. I'm glad I've never heard most of these...

excellent

"Lou Reed allegedly once called this 'the best and most authentic version I have ever heard,' but why the heck would you trust him? It is only authentic if you think the Velvet Underground were a middle-of-the-road chamber-folk lounge-snooze group instead of a noisy droning rock band (which is what lots of musicians they inspired apparently believe, but that doesn't make them right), and also if you enjoy hearing clinically introverted Canadians who forgot to take their depression medication mumble so you can't make out the words."

AB has confirmed that AL is indeed on fire. At least he's gotten away from liking his own posts.

He's growing on me.

[Lightnin' Rod]

Nice turnout here today.  I can't really fb while at work, so it's nice to see this many posts here.

ROTFL: HTY used Jose's shtick and then Jose showed up.

I gave the man his due.
