Not sure if AL has it up yet, but she strongly hinted at this in a DD post in GS.

She posted her official clue around 10pm.

VHM H&O, "Private Eyes", a tad overexposed but enjoyable.

WOS Rush, of course.

But as Sunday is Canada Day I'm wondering if we can get a replay of the All-Canadian set from 2 years ago.

BOS4 John's "Woman" -- always a fave of mine. Could my Yoko request be next?

Police: meh.  Not getting Yoko when the segue was right there staring AL in the face has kinda soured my mood.

I'll give Invisible Sun a BOS. Very cool-sounding song.

BOS for my favorite Police song.

It may be horribly sacreligious to say this, but I think "Woman" is pretty overrated.  I don't quite know how John could sing "I never meant to cause you harm or pain" with a straight face, unless he is in complete denial about his "Lost Weekend".  To me it only sounds like a reasonably good impression of a latter day Macca love song.

Holee Crap!  "I'm In Love With a German Film Star" by Passion, uber BOS for me.

Where did she dig this up?

It may be horribly sacreligious to say this, but I think "Woman" is pretty overrated.  I don't quite know how John could sing "I never meant to cause you harm or pain" with a straight face, unless he is in complete denial about his "Long Weekend".  To me it only sounds like a reasonably good impression of a latter day Macca love song.

It's certainly his most "conventional" love song of the solo years. I suppose one could argue that that's ALL it is (and that he's not actually singing it TO Yoko) but given the context on Double Fantasy that argument doesn't fly.
