    Me, too. I hope you think this Dancehall does him justice.

    I'm glad you posted so I could tell you it's your topic again next week. We're back to the topic being anything: it can still be a deceased artist, but doesn't have to be.

    Okay hey G.D. I'm going ahead and picking next week's TOPIC now, which will be.....

    "GLITTER ROCK"

    Everyone from David Bowie to Elton John and all points in between...!!

    FOR EXAMPLE:

    Sweet - Fox On The Run

    Please enjoy...!!

    Excellent. Glitter rock it is.

    I have a few favorites in this genre

    Well, that's halpful in a few ways. It looks like "glam rock" is the name that won out historically, so we'll use that.

    Second, it's good to see the diversity on that list; I would not have considered Alice Cooper or ABBA to be glam, but it would be good to have them on. And it's good to have Elton, Queen, and Bowie included. I'm also thinking there may be a place for
    older precursors (Little Richard?) and acts inspired by them (Billy Idol? Prince?). I wouldn't object to either of those.
