Wild stuff. As the penultimate broadcast, I wanted to give it a bit of a theme. I settled on doing one particular year. I thought about it for a good seven or eight seconds before it hit me: 1983. The best year in music ever. So, I got to thinking, and I got to Wikipedia-ing, and before I knew it I Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18237629785027766535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435763875724092006.post-42372831677634722122009-04-22T00:33:00.001-04:002009-04-22T00:33:16.331-04:00Colin HayColin Hay, originally uploaded by lf979883.Awesome concert tonight!

Things went really well. I always thought it was kinda apropos in a slightly embarrassing way that George Bush was in office as it kinda reprised the 88-92 era while I was playing songs from his father's years. However, Bush is out (almost) and we're looking at having a new president, Barack Obama.
