uber-BOS2 MJ's "Human Nature"! *finally* something from Thriller that isn't "Billie Jean" or "Beat It". 

Yeah! Mike gets his smooth back!

Yep, but on the whole this set is a little too smooth for my taste. Points for resurrecting another '83 relic, but WOS Michael Sembello.
Let's get right to it.

Flashdance -- dreadful film that has a lot to answer for.

but Best Cheeze of set: "Maniac".



I think I'm glad I never saw the film. But I'll always have a soft spot for Mr. Sembello.

Not everyone can pen lyrics like R.E.M.

ah, yes, AL trumps the Katrina-ness of U2 with some real meaning-behind-the-music: The United Kingdom just admitted that the Irish protesters on "Bloody Sunday" were attacked unjustly.  It took them 12 years to investigate and find this (official) conclusion, but that gives the U2 choice some heft.
