proxy of Gaz: HoJo, "Things can Only Get Better" (we hope!)

[RGMike]

Talking Heads And She Was
David Bowie This is Not America
Eric Clapton Forever Man
Oingo Boingo Stay
Cheap Trick Tonight It's You
Sting Fortress Around Your Heart
Lone Justice Ways To Be Wicked
Outfield Say It Isn't So
Dire Straits Money For Nothing
Howard Jones Things Can Only Get Better

Damn, that Outfield song sounded EXACTLY like Boston.

Damn, that Outfield song sounded EXACTLY like Boston.

They have 3 or 4 really good songs ("Voices of Babylon" being my favorite), and much like the Hooters, I think they might have had more success with a hipper name.

That's a big proxy of me too.  TANC:  I woke up this morning with a different HoJo song in my head, New Song

I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up, bend your brain, see both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew

[Gazoo]

This was actually a really good set as a whole.  Caught the replay.
