It always seems to me like we've just been to '83, but it's been 5 weeks.

Just one surprise, Dave, that's all we ask.

Does Greg Kihn count as a surprise?

Yes, actually -- a breakout?  Don't recall ever hearing this.  Not necessarily a pleasant surprise, but it may be the only one. :wink:

I read a snippet of some interview with either Parker or Stone wherein they bemoaned the fact some fan spoke fondly of SP and FG in the same sentence...

OK, I know it's a Davefave and we've heard it a lot. That said, I still kinda dig Message to My Girl--I'd take it over just about any CH tune. VHM.

just what IS an "eminence front" anyway?  Is it when you get caught looking at kiddeporn and you say you were doing "research"?

(sigh) Yeah. I mean, I actually, y'know, LIKE 1983- but this set's rather weak.

Well, exactly. This is why, after many years, I have to admit Pete Townsend is a bit of a Guilty Displeasure for me in general. And that was BEFORE the kiddieporn research.

It's a put-on.  Weren't you listening?

Actually, I asked the same question back in the eighties and my friend said, "It's a put-on".  So there you go.

I still love to hear "Blinded by Science" 'cause it's a Stanford Band song.  The tenor saxes had a good dance for it that I had a lot to do with creating.

OK, POC, who's the Judy of the week?

Btw, I just thought of another one you haven't paid homage to yet: Judy Carne, the gap-toothed Brit from Laugh-In. From what I reall (unless I'm confusing her with someone else), she fell in with a bad crowd, became a junkie, died a few years back.
