Random notes: This week's theme (which started at 9:30 instead of 10--how do I denote that?) was inspired by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week... From the "Hey, Did You Know?" file: The Sex Pistols were A&M artists for 6 days, I do believe, until tip-offs from music industry insiders and nasty behavior at the A&M offices made management change their mind (and recall the "God Save the Queen" single from its pressings); the Pistols still got paid, though...another successful rock 'n' roll swindle!!...I first heard the delightful double album "An Evening with Groucho" while a student at Indiana University of PA, and this past year I was lucky enough to snag it when they had a massive sale of their record album collection (yay!); it's terrific and very funny and kind of sad and sweet in a way, too, considering the context of this wry old man looking back at his life...and if that's not enough...the album also features Dick Cavett (yowzah!)..."Por Amor Viviremos" is "Love Will Keep Us Together," just so you know...oh no, really it's more like "We Will Live by Love." We will? We will ('sawright)...Quick-minded sorts surely realized that the version of "Goodbye Stranger" actually didn't come from the "Breakfast in America" CD, but rather the "Magnolia" movie soundtrack, as Philip Baker Hall's stiff upper-lip game show host introduces Round 2 before the song starts...more babble next week!
