Thank god for the Unicorn. I could see Colbert showing this what with the ursine villainy.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Kid Congo reminisces about his earl days in the Cramps:
The Cramps were a very spontaneous type of band live. It was all about creating an atmosphere of the wildest thing possible. Lux was the ringleader of all of that and Ivy held it down. They were some wild shows - especially the European shows. And it was in the era when (especially in the UK) where people spit on you if they liked you and so we were often covered in gob. We were really not going to back down…we were not the backing down type of band. They were some crazy magic voodoo shows and Lux did incredible things on stage that were so dangerous and crazy, from jumping off of speaker stacks, swinging a microphone with the lead so long that you thought he was going to decapitate you - but he never did. He would tie my legs together with the mic cord and drag me around the stage while I was still playing - during "Surfin' Bird" usually.
Fights would often erupt in the audience, girls clothes came off, and then Lux would be wearing them… and the audience would pull Lux in the audience and Nick would jump from behind his drum kit and jump in the fray. It was pretty wild. If something bad was happening, Ivy would snap her fingers and point and we’d have to go beat someone up. It was like being in a gang - like a juvenile delinquent band… and it was great! It was my juvenile delinquent fantasy come true.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I got to see the Cramps once, which was great music (even if I still have hearing loss) and had the most wonderful spontaneous cheering moment (totally sports-fan-over-the-top yelling) when Ivy decked a guy who climbed up on the stage.
And they went on playing as the stagehands hustled him off.

Does anyone have Hall and Oates' Family man and/or John Mellencamp's Ghost Towns along the highway they would be able to send me?

Perkins- I only have Family Man on a record, so I cannot get it to you. Also, it is at my mom's house. And probably, actually hers.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Saw the Cramps at Thebbie Theatre way back in the late 80s. Awesome show but no-one got beat up, and there were no ladies taking their clothes off.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I nearly got crushed being pushed against the front of the stage at a Cramps show in Boston in the late 80's. It was at the Channel. I managed to pull myself up and onto the stage from where I watched the rest of the show.
In summary, once I managed to survive a near-death experience, I had a great time!
