Man I loved them PoorMan, all those guys! LOL) We had a similar station in the Bay Area - The Quake 99.7 -- also dubbed 'Rock of the '80s'. Good times. I was very sad to see it go. Yes, 'Only a Lad' is sort of a depressing song, but a fun and rare one (if it makes sense to be fun and depressing). I hear 'Dead Man's Party' three times as often as 'Lad.' I think I prefer 'Lad' since it's more obscure. Oh, I'm supposed to be singing, aren't I? Another song coming up.....

See how the good times roll, See how the good times roll, See how the good times roll away.
