Three unstoppable hours of Dave playing face-melting hot rock jams, talking with extremely important guests, answering the telephone, and trying to figure out what all those knobs and buttons are for. A sincere effort to get the original members of Dokken back on speaking terms will also be made whenever possible.

"Lady Grinning Soul" is a great one! The Runaways movie showed Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie dressing up as Aladdin Sane Bowie and dancing to that at a school talent show. (DJ Julie interviewed Cherie - she said they changed that for the movie. She actually danced to "1984")

...That earlier crack of mine about 3 hours of "Sexual Healing" covers...that was in fact based on something real ;)
Among many ruminations on Bowie after hearing the news late last night, I thought that Bowie would've done a good cover of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing", with a "Young Americans" style rhythm. Kind of like Hot Chip's recent cover of it, maybe a bit more "overstated".
