Today's year was 1980 and Charles started off talking about John Lennon's death. That still makes me sad and mad at the same time, all these years later. Charles said something about how sometimes he wished he was a republican so he could torture the guy who killed John Lennon, slowly, day by day. I wish, too.

- Beautiful Boy: John Lennon
- Skateaway: Dire Straights
- Crack That Whip: Devo
- Brass in Pocket: the Pretenders
- It's A Night For Beautiful Girls: The Fools
- Deadline: Blue Oyster Cult
- Wonderin' Where The Lions: Bruce Cockburn
- I Don't Like Mondays: Boomtown Rats
- Don't Do Me Like That: Tom Petty

and today's flashback song was Turning Japanese, by the Vapors.

It's ironic that Charles talked about Lennon this morning; when I was scanning the radio this morning, Mike Douglas (he used to have a talk show that was on at 4 in the afternoon) was on some station, and the DJs asked him what John and Yoko were like (they did an appearance weekly on his show for 5 weeks). He said John was a brilliant, sensitive soul and that he really liked him. As for Yoko...he said he sympathized with Paul McCartney a bit...LOL!

great list!

....turning Japanese..I think Im turning Japanese....I really think so.....

How amazing would it have been to meet John Lennon!?!?! What a loss!

As a HUGE Beatles fan do I even have to tell you that I hate Yoko? It pretty much goes without saying, right?
