Saw Hamilton for my birthday - it's pretty damn wonderful.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

David, are you allowed to do another 33 ⅓ book? Have you considered pitching Bad Music for Bad People? Because duh,

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why are they not the most famous rock couple ever?
They are to me!
David, are you allowed to do another 33 ⅓ book?
No.
But I don't think they've done a Cramps album yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, how popular was Off Broadway outside of the Chicago area? A friend of mine was surprised I'd heard a lot of their songs growing up in Wisconsin.
Their album On is full of great pop songs.

They did have a track on Rhino's Power Pop compilation, but basically they're only known to power pop nerds.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Off Broadway did "Stay in Time," correct? I remember that song from about the time I graduated high school, but I don't remember hearing anything else from them.
But my part of Wisconsin was well within the range of Chicago AM (John Records Landeker, anyone?) and Rockford FM stations. So I had at least some exposure to bands like Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon before they broke nationwide.

Yes. I love that song and hadn't heard it for 35 years or so.
eta: "Full Moon Turn My Head Around" is from the same album and is also great.

I remember not caring for it at the time. But that was early in my Adult Contemporary/Big Band period, which was also the period of my reaction against things Midwestern. I might react very differently if I heard it again today.

Now that I'm dating someone who's 58, we've been listening to quite a lot of '60s and '70s rock and psychedelic music. While I'm pretty familiar with all the popular bands of those genres, Anne has turned me on to all sorts of more obscure stuff. And stuff I heard as a kid but haven't since.
