Caught up in '82?  This .38 was never special to me.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Jeezus H Stallone! "Eye of the Tiger" twice in one week.  I BOS'd it the other day as a cheezetastic treat, but I'm watching my cholesterol today.

I'll BOS the "Gypsy."  The goat vibrato makes me chuckle more than anything else, and Lindsey's dulcimer sound is a nice touch.

BOS Dustin and the late great Sidney Pollack in Tootsie. "I played an endive salad that knocked the critics on their ass!"

Biggest surprise of the set: Scorpions.  At the time, my brother and I joked that the title was "No One Likes You."

At last some AOR bombast I can actually stand: BOS2 Seger's Springsteenian "Even Now".

HM to DLR and VH dancing in the streets.  Not sure dancing on the Sunset Strip is the best idea, though.

sorry, that's the 2nd-worst, 2nd-least-necessary cover of that song (after Jagger/Bowie, of course).  But BOS3 Crock o'Seagals, in Iran, Iran so far away

"Southern Cross"'s generic Stillsiness never did anything for me. This set is crying out for more New Wave & pop than the Seagulls were capable of delivering on their own. And now the Money Man is "Shakin'".
