episode date - October 28, 2009
October 1989 was as full of high points and low points as much as any other era. The surprise is the degree to which music could rise and/or sink.
I find it almost incomprehensible that Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers’ “Swing the Mood” could co-exist on the same planet as Bob Dylan’s “Everything Is Broken,” but in 1989, their was room on the charts for both. Now, I don’t think we need hindsight to tell the great stuff from the crap, because we knew even then which was which. What makes it a lot easier to understand, though, is that the Dylan album remains a perennial favorite, while the average person would ask “Jive Bunny who?” Thank goodness for small favors.
Here’s a list of songs featured in today’s show;
1) The End of the Innocence – Don Henley
2) Keep On Moving – Soul II Soul
3) Me Myself and I – De La Soul
4) Love Shack – The B-52’s
5) Swing the Mood – Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers (a ‘Bad Hit’)
6) Political World – Bob Dylan (“Oh Mercy”)
7) Everything Is Broken – Bob Dylan (“Oh Mercy”)
8) Crime In the City – Neil Young (“Freedom”)
9) Rockin’ in the Free World – Neil Young (“Freedom”)
