Gavin sent a note today to excoriate us for forcing him to listen to Billy Squier's 16 Strokes: The Best of Billy Squier after his victory in last week's marathon quiz. We express regret that Mr. Edwards was driven to such extremity, but suggest that our bringing back the memory of Emotions in Motion cannot possibly constitute a reasonable compulsion to endure same in 21st century digital stereo.
However, we understand compulsion, and in fact suffered from a little ourselves. All that talk about the lame derivative Big Rock of the early '80s somehow took us back into the junkyard of memory to find the crushed but recognizable remains of a single hit by a band called Diesel. Remember "Sausalito Summernight"? It was in heavy rotation on the Biloxi, Mississippi station that was our only connection, in 8th grade, to the world of rock. Listen if you dare.
