TomHOST
Oh, my God.
TomHOST
Number 85, from 1982, Shoot Out the Lights by Richard and Linda Thompson.
TomHOST
Do you have any idea what that is? Is that the Thompson twins? No! No! It says they may be a more representative after their long associations with Fairport Convention.
TomHOST
Okay, I've heard of that band.
TomHOST
Richard and Linda Thompson were at the end of a 10 year marriage as they recorded Shoot Out the Lights.
TomHOST
Dude, this is the most hipster doofus fucking album selection on a list.
ZeusHOST
Yeah, that's better than fucking Diary of a Madman.

Miguel ConnerGUEST
I think my favorite story is, uh, and because it's so American, so Elvis, is he was in his car, this brand-new luxury Pantera.
Miguel ConnerGUEST
I don't know what it is, some very expensive car in the '70s, and he was with his girlfriend, Linda Thompson, and they were gonna go out on a date.
Miguel ConnerGUEST
They get in the car, and the car won't start.
Miguel ConnerGUEST
And Elvis is like, "Ugh." He gets out, he takes out his gun, and he sh- he shoots the car.
Davie FureyHOST
What does this song mean to you?
Frances McNameeGUEST
Well, I actually I heard Bonnie Raitt's version before I heard Richard and Linda Thompson's.
Frances McNameeGUEST
As much as I love that version, I think Bonnie Raitt will always be the kind of definitive one for me.
Frances McNameeGUEST
Maybe it's because I heard it first.
