it's not by definition a compliment)....r

Is he spelling it right? Maybe Dave said genus. Like a rare species of
some kind.

Dave is the genius, you betcha.

Maybe I didn't emphasize strongly enough how long ago this was, and what a
different world it was...someone can check the Sekrit Database to tell you who
Dave's guests were on January 24th, 1986; all I can offer by way of comparison
to illustrate the era is a different sort of "Top Ten", the one on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart for that week:

10 TONIGHT SHE COMES Cars
9 WALK OF LIFE Dire Straits
8 BURNING HEART Survivor
7 TALK TO ME Stevie Nicks
6 SMALL TOWN John Cougar Mellencamp
5 I MISS YOU Klymaxx
4 ALIVE AND KICKING Simple Minds
3 PARTY ALL THE TIME Eddie Murphy
2 SAY YOU, SAY ME Lionel Richie
1 THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR Dionne & Friends

(Don't make me fire up the Hot Tub Time Machine!)...r

Me? Sarcastic?
Yeah, right.
