And beware ChiTown '79 sets -- Jimmy Buffett approaching!

What do you MEAN, "Jimmy Buffett approaching?"

Buffett doubtless.  Also probably Styx.

But a BOS candidate in "Driver's Seat" gives me hope that we might get Bram Tchaikovsky or City Boy.

I think this is a different mix of "Driver's Seat" than I'm accustomed to.  The ending sounds different, somehow.

This sounds like a 12" remix to me -- me likey!

City Boy woulda been '78, methinks.

Yawn: Tom Petty takes time out from nicking Byrds licks to nick a refrain from Van Morrison.  Here comes the night, I mean, here comes my girl.

Off topic, but Mike, did you hear that Lyn Collins passed away?  R.I.P. again & again & again & again & again ...

"YOU'RE out of order!"  A tour de force!

And another aside: Happy birthday, Sylvester Stewart.  Get well soon.

Damn.

Cut & Pasted, since the SJ Merc requires registration:

"LOS ANGELES - Lyn Collins, whose funky vocals landed her a spot in James Brown's stage show and the nickname "Female Preacher," died of cardiac arrhythmia Sunday, said her son. She was 56.

Collins, whose voice also was sampled in the 1980s hip-hop hit "It Takes Two," died Sunday night at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, her son Bobby Jackson said Monday.

Collins, who lived in Abilene, Texas, was visiting the Los Angeles area after having returned from a tour in Europe last month. She was due to start touring again next month.

Collins took up singing as a teenager. At 14, she married a man who worked as the local promoter for the James Brown Revue. Brown heard Collins sing and in 1970 she was invited to join his traveling show.

Her powerful voice led Brown to nickname her the "Female Preacher," and two years later, she cut her first solo album, "Think (About It)." In 1975, Collins released "Check Me Out If You Don't Know Me By Now."

Over the years, Collins' songs have also appeared in various compilations, but it was hip-hop duo Rob Base & D.J. E-Z Rock who exposed Collins' work to a new generation when they sampled one of her songs for their 1988 hit "It Takes Two."

Since then, other contemporary R&B and rap artists have also mined Collins' songs, including rapper Ludacris.

Here's where Sheryl Crow learned her shtick for Tuesday Night Music Club: "Chuck E.'s in Love," which is one of Chuck Eddy's favorite songs, I think.  :)

That had never occurred to me but of course you're right.  Ms Crow is unfit to touch the hem of RLJ's garment, IMHO.

VHM to Boomtown Rats, "I Don't Like Mondays."  For some reason, every time I hear that extended piano intro, I misidentify it as "Wake Up Everybody" for a few seconds.

"I don't like 'Monday Monday.'"

But it was the wrong year for "Tuesday's Dead" or "Everything's Tuesday". or Tuesday Weld, for that matter.

Happy birthday, Sylvester Stewart.  Get well soon.

It's also Dee Snider's B-Day. Wonder if Taylor Dayne sent him a card.
