Bob's overdue for a spin of Sniff'n'the Tears.  But we start by getting the Cars outta da way early.

Holy shit, a co-worker just made a "Warriors" reference last night!

Mother, I don't think I like this song.  WOS Floyd.

It's a weird movie, it has its cult following, but the "gangs" are as ridiculously stylized as the Sharks and the Jets.

anything other than "Heart of Glass" from this LP woulda made my day.

Even the losers finally get to release a breakthru LP. I still have one of these buttons at home somewhere:

OK, I'm off to work, you know.  If things are slow I'll listen to 10@1 and post a BIBT entry.  Getting harder to fit those in!

great set o stuff here. 
my BOS's go to

• Cars -  Ben Orr had a voice.  I love them (most of the time), so there!
• Joe Walsh - This song should have been on his solo LP But Seriously Folks... , but the Eagles needed it to make their week-ass Long Run record less crappy.
  
• Cheap Trick - if you don't have their first three records, you should.  Still great in concert, btw, even though they're on the county fair circuit, more or less
• Foreigner - Sentimental favorite, b/c the lyrics mention Rochester, NY's "Lake Avenue" (Lou Gramm and I are from there.  :) )

HM to John Gougar I Need A Lover - became a hit for him in Australia first, correct?  epic!
