There was a NZ band called simply, the Stones. They were good, too!
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The UK government tried to put an injunction on the album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols (on grounds of indecency). Said Sex Pistols were represented by human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson. He argued in court that 'bollocks' was in fact a word of long and illustrious standing in the English language. Indeed, it used to be the standard term for testicles within English-language bibles, until the King James Version, when it was replaced with the word 'stones'.
As Geoffrey Robertson recounts, "At this point, Mr Rotten leaned over to me and whispered, 'If we lose this case, don't worry about it. We'll just rename the album Never Mind The Stones, Here's The Sex Pistols."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sunday Morning Listening: Switched On Bach by Robert Moog.
Creating a rare trifecta of Sunday Bach mellowness, nostalgic futurism and associations with A Clockwork Orange.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That is correct!
I'm addled because I wrote a piece on Moog recently and mentioned Wendy Carlos.
Warning: Theremin music is slandered in this profile.

Like convention-bending science fiction authors Samuel Delaney and Norman Spinrad, Robert Moog was a Bronx Science alumnus
Heh, I wonder if it's significant that Kubrick was also a child of the Bronx.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just watched video of a marching band playing In-a-gadda-da-vida.
So then I needed bleach:

I may be interviewing Robyn Hitchcock by phone this Friday morning. What should I ask him?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ask him what this lyric means:
"If I were man enough I'd come on your stump."
Or not. Wait, didn't Robyn give Pete Buck a cat when Pete was crashing on his floor during the recording of I forget which album? You could ask about the cat....
