Evan, I can relate a bit to your situation on Wednesday a bit. I had a previously booked guest this past Monday who I adore but whose music wasn't the best fit with the mood of things outside the studio. I'm on FB and Twitter during my show and had to force myself to stay off my news feeds as much as possible. Kudos on your opening set tonight, impeccable selection.

Seems like it would be somewhat of a hollow victory (if it was a victory at all) since it wasn't even his own song. Still felt good though, I bet.
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:26pm

I guess it depends how early on it was understood that it would be the single. You release a single...it's a hit...a win.

let's hope that efd plays more disco tonight.
  10:44pm
P-90:

I'm just guessing, but it might have been a great deal more than a "hollow victory" that they all did solo records at that point and Ace had the big hit. I remember when those albums came out, the radio very quickly decided that was the only song that was gonna get much play. I bet Ace's personal management def felt "one up" over the others'. I wonder if it really made much difference within the band that he didn't write it?
Sure thing that it's one of the things he's asked about most often, so he'll have a story about that at the ready.
  10:52pm

as you could see efd, i'm all wound up with disco, or is it the three diet cokes I drank earlier?
