Oh, this thread is gonna get geeky.

Imagine my surprise!

Deacon Blues is the song that I go to when I've had far too much to drink and am feeling miserably romantic.   

The live version of Reeling in the Years (from '94, I think) has a much different groove and arrangement.  I think they probably got tired of it, too. 

Who is the gaucho amigo
Why is he standing there in your spangled leather poncho
With the studs that match your eyes
Bodacious cowboys such as your friend
Will never be welcome here
High in the Custerdome

There's still time, it goes on through tonight.   He likes scotch, so just stop by the package store after work.

Gaucho's my favorite SD album, just a notch above Aja.   Good call on the tawdriness..it adds a little haze to the proceedings.

Okay, yeah, "For Crying Out Loud" falls a bit flat— especially considering the track preceding it —  but if nothing else, Mr. Loaf sounds like he means it. 

Aw, man!  Bat Out of Hell is a great album, and I think Rundgren deserves a handshake for leavening the pomposity with a huge dose of satire. 

CAN YOU DIG IT?

There's so much to love about it!

I hope you enjoyed it.  I really like the imagery of "all the buildings for miles around were swaying to the groove"— I imagine graffiti french fry skyscrapers towering over everything  with their lines converging at the top, as if it were photographed through a fisheye lens.

No love for Newcleus?  Damn.   Superman is arrogant, yet gracious in his defeat and it made me think about whether Superman is mainly a hero to and for white people.  From "Jam On It":

Udo Dirkschneider from Accept?

I ain't proud; I laughed when the catatonic mom got bomped.

I would move to a planet where this was the case.  Oy, kids today with their weird haircuts and dual rectifiers!

What does the storyboard look like if David Rees uploads a script for My New Filing Technique is Unstoppable?

Is this true?

I love Push Th' Little Daisies.   I imagine it's Gary Coleman singing.
