kudos for playing the weird "Shoo-Be-Doo" intro to "Candy-O" -- still one of my favorite Cars songs. BOS2.

First time I've heard Bob include Dan White's conviction and sentencing in one of his news roundups. The power of the Oscars!

BOS3 The Mighty Zep.

VHM Sir Bob, who don't like Mondays.

"Sweet Sixteen,
Ain't that peachy-keen?"

minus 5 points for playing the edit, Bob.

Tom Petty - Refugee 
Tarney Spencer Band - No Time to Lose 
Bad Company - Rock & Roll Fantasy 
Cars - Shoo Be Do/Candy O 
Led Zeppelin - In the Evening 
Journey - Lovin' Touchin Squeezin' 
Pat Benatar - Heartbreaker
ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide 
Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays 
Cheap Trick - Surrender 

Not bad, but still a very AOR-centric set in a year with fab pop hits both disco and otherwise.
