But you could of [sic] had Lone Justice and The Violent Femmes!

The Violent Femmes played locally where I was (Chicago). I did have a problematic roommate who played the same two songs from the Def Leppard Pyromania album repeatedly. Worse, he was threatening to get a "Duran, Duran" tape. (Hungry Like a Wolf gets tiresome after 1/2 of a play) The headbangers who listened to the Violent Femmes weren't on my floor.

The worst part was when I took a summer job at NORC, and the office had the local black station playing. Every other song was "State of Shock" by Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger. I believed they made the record as a joke to prove they could score with ANYthing. They were right.

The mainstream station (WBBM) had a five song play list. I would literally hear the SAME song three times during a four hour shift at the Shoreland dorm grill.

The only performance I bothered to see (it was free) was "Bow Wow Wow". They were basically a bar band that got lucky.
