Pretty much the only thing from yesterday I wouldn't mind hearing again would be "Home And Dry".

ETA: And instead we get "Right Down The Line", way to go BOB!!

ETA2: I was mentally debating whether or not I would like to hear Sweet again, but now here it is anyway. Guess it's okay with me.

well, here's Sweet -- will it be the looooong version again?

Answer: NO.

BOS Bob Seger, OTRnR, before Tom Cruise lip-synched to it.

dittos all around!

Speaking of dittos, I see Mr Limbaugh got in trouble yesterday for carrying Viagra with somebody else's name on it. He needs Viagra? Isn't he married to a stripper or something?

"Drunk & stupid is no way to go thru life, son."

BOS3 ARS, "Imaginary Lovers". The only kind I've had in ages.

Slightly guilty displeasure, just can't stand Diamond Dave's vocal on this.

BOS, Bruce.

You forgot "fat." As in, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot."

Post by: RGMike on June 28, 2006, 08:45:40 AM: Now it always seemed to me that Foreigner should've called the LP Level Head rather than Level Headed. Could've made for a great visual pun on the cover. (oh, like a hooker on a see-saw, or something like that).

Careful what you wish for. It could wind up like the Head Games cover that looks really uncomfortably like a rape scene (or, as an ILM wag noted some months ago, like an American Apparel shoot gone horrifically awry).

Post by: Gazoo on June 28, 2006, 08:29:40 PM: Hrmph, no discussion of Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" in light of "Jamie's Cryin'." Ah well. Oh, and BOS to Heart, because "Dog & Butterfly" is one of those relatively few songs I really viscerally remember from the actual year.

Hope no one minds the spoiler below w/r/t tomorrow's year.

OK, I'll bite... Watchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis? Is that a VH sample in "Wild Thing"? News to me. You didn't expect Bob to mention that, didya? His target demo wouldn't know Tone Loc if he bit them on their collective asses.

I actually own the Tone Loc album on vinyl, and there's no mention of "Jamie's Cryin'", tho' Eddie VH is one of over 100 people who get "special thanks".

Indeed it is -- but this was before the Turtles sued De La Soul and Gilbert O'Sullivan sued Biz Markie, and artists didn't have to credit, much less compensate, the sources of their samples.
