Title: The Drive, 7/31/08: 1985

a year with great potential, even for someone with a spotty '80s record like Bob.

Percy starts with "Little By Little".

Say what you will about the concept of wine coolers (hey, I drank them sometimes in college), those Bartles & Jaymes ads were an incredibly effective campaign.

True dat - BOS from me.  Amazing songwriting, pristine singing, beautiful appearance, and a sledgehammer for me as well.  Sade's got it all.

I know Bob meant no offense, but going from the MOVE house-bombing into a clip of "Some Like It Hot" was beyond tacky.

VHM U2; BOS3 T.Heads. "Little pee-pee, little toes".

that reminds me of a real-life accidental segue from my radio days:  Our top story in a newscast was a tenement fire in which 6 children died. Cut to a then-popular commercial for Solarcaine (the sunburn ointment) in which the first sounds were a child's voice saying "Mommy! Mommy! I feel like a french fry!" Swear. To. God.  We were mortified.

WOS Heart, entering the Diane Warren era.

I'm disagreeing with Mike on the Heart - I think this is some great power-balladry, and it definitely sends me back to that summer, when I was at the local community swimming pool (since closed) every single day.

Trivia: Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick sing backing vox on this.

Power Station's completely unnecessary remake of "Bang a Gong" -- not quite a WOS but fairly worthless.

BOS2 to "This Is Not America," a phrase that echoes all too frequently during this presidential-run-up soap opera.

BOS4 Bowie/Metheny.

BOS5 JCM, "ROTS".  One of Bob's better '80s efforts, all things considered.

BOS3 to JCM's finest moment, "Rain on the Scarecrow."  Righteous anger goes a long way with me.
