I'll be sad if this means no Tax Set Friday. Dave promises this set will not be "rude". Too bad.

Are you sure he didn't promise the set wouldn't be "rued"?

Actually, I hope some Foghead suggested something like "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round."

Or "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)," though I'm sure that's precisely the kind of stuff Dave seeks to avoid.

I would imagine this would mean that, between the Tax set and the Earth Day set, we won't get one of them. A couple of the usual theme sets have been passed on this year (April Fools was the most recent). Personally, given how predictable the Tax Day set has become (Robert Cray's I Hate Taxes, Money, Taxman, It's Money That Matters, Money For Nothing, you could probably name the rest), I could very easily skip it this year.

A lot of the Earth Day set would probably go well on the President's iPod....

Easiest bet of the set: that we hear "Fortunate Son."  I say it comes up as Tune Number Ten.

"American Idiot" was a good call, I have to say.

I wish I could say for sure.  Richard told me a number of stories about his past as a lighting designer for various concerts, but I just don't know if that was one of them.  It feels like a lifetime ago that I lived there in the 'Loin.  I'm impressed with your memory!

Not to sound too cynical, but since about the Who song, I've been having the escalating feeling that I've heard this set before. The Who, Bruce, REM, Randy Newman, and even the Elvis--all great songs and worthy sentiments, but I just feel like this is a bit of a rehash.

My pick for the set would have been Barry Maguire's (McGwire, McGuire?) "Eve of Destruction."  Of course, since Bush is probably big on the Apocalypse and all, he'd think it a positive thing...
