Subject: Love Baby Love!

Michael's observations:

The Flyers did not play the Winnipeg Jets (current Arizona Coyotes, not the current Winnipeg Jets). The Minnesota North Stars (current Dallas Stars) played Winnipeg & won 6-1. Philly did play the Quebec Nordiques (current Colorado Avalanche). They defeated Quebec 3-2. Yay! :)

Even though CFTP does "woefully ineffective love songs" now, I kinda miss the "love songs, nothing but love songs" for Valentine's Day. It's sad not to hear the "love baby love" sample from "New Sensation" by INXS.

23 year old Ron, "Love Is A Battlefield" was from 1983, not 1985.

I love how Ron did the placements of the screams, especially during "Love To Love You Baby".

With that being said, nobody wants to see Ron take a cold shower. :P

Why is 1992 Ron hatin' on "I Need Love" by LL Cool J? That's one of the best rap ballads of all time. :(

I liked the back to back "Jungle Love", but Ron didn't follow "Loverboy" with "Lovergirl".

Interesting that Ron says "Love Machine" is the worst song of the week & not "I Need Love".

Steve Winwood was 18 years old when he did "Gimme Some Lovin'", not 16.

Subject: ***** FOR SONGS I LISTEN TO IN MY CAR

AND **** FOR CFTP. LAST TWO SONGS ON CFTP CUT OFF, ONLY HEARD SNIPPETS OF WINGS "SILLY LOVE SONGS" AND ELVIS PRESLEY "LOVE ME TENDER". WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT..I WANNA KNOW...J/K. BUT GREAT SHOW, I DISLIKE PHIL COLLINS, BUT THIS COVER IS AWESOME. HOWARD JONES AND HAIRCUT 100 GAVE ME MY FILL OF BRIT POP. LOVE BOTH SONGS. SONGS I LISTEN TO IN MY CAR ROCKED. THE ERASURE SONG WAS AWESOME. LIDO SHUFFLE IS A GREAT ONE AS WELL.
