fingers crossed for something not-too-shopworn.
ELO's "Fire on High" may have to do.
aaack! "Lorelei" is moving in again.
eeek! Charlie Daniels is singing about the South again.
it's... it's... the ballroom blitz giving me fits.
even less necessary: Iggles, "OOTN".
Yeesh: Skynyrd give us the gun.
BOS MTM/Chuckles the Clown. Hope that episode shows up on "ME TV" one of these nites.
uber-unnecessary: War.
uber-uber-unnecessary: "Killer 'Trina". What a trial, indeed.
VHM Nazareth's silly "Hair of the Dog" -- a Bone staple, but I don't listen to the Bone much, and compared to the rest of this set it's practically a bustout.
And we close with "Squeeze Box" -- i heard a cool zydeco cover of this on The Boardwalk last week.

Zep to start... OMFG! Bob Plays the Carpenters!! BOS "Superstar"!!!
The Drive has a "live chat" thingy on their site, and Driveheads are none too pleased to hear Karen & Richard...
James Gang followed by Stones. BOS2 "Wild Horses".
Jeremiah was etc.
Interesting: the live chat crowd on the Drive's site have some sort of baseball-themed "guess what songs Bob will play" game going on. So that Carpenters tune really came outta left field for them.
