Which of these is getting a special 40th anniversary reissue next year?
Since have a late-year birthday, 1985 is kind of stolen valor for me. Let's look at 1986, a truly flawed and misguided music year for boomer icons (if not boomers themselves):

Happy Thanksgiving! The #MWRD is grateful for the opportunity to serve over 5 million people today & everyday!

A friendly reminder to avoid pouring Fats, Oils, or Grease down the drain this #Thanksgiving. Instead, let FOG cool, then scrape or wipe them safely into the trash.

I'm watching this one. Laura Fine is (was?) the establishment pick but hasn't been nearly as visible as DB or KA.
NEW IL-09 poll with the Justice Coalition Action: Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh are tied for first in the Democratic primary with 18% of the vote.

Laura Fine trails in third with 10%, and all other candidates receive 6% or less of the vote.
