Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Interesting choices, it's just Huey Lewis was, to me, the absolutely worst of the 80's boomer music. Can't even stand the sight of his name in print let alone his music

Hello,

No one had Quiche Lorraine (B-52's) for Q?

And Queen of Hearts will always be a Dave Edmunds song rather than Juice Newton song for me.
