Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well that clears that up then. Have now moved on to Lipscomb though who is just breaking my heart.

Did she used a pink flamingo?
Ms. Tyler fits me like a flesh tuxedo
She likes to beat me with her pink flamingo
See, it is possible to channel Wonderfalls and Spinal Tap simultaneously. Now, just for Heather, I'll simultaneously channel Manilow and Lipscomb with my rendition of "Oh, Mancey"...

Must see Rufus someday.
On this topic, I saw him open for Roxy Music a few years back. He was very good, but it was an odd pairing. Roxy was sublime.

Jim, you didn't rise to my early Ultravoxx bait. No use for their first three albums with Foxx?

I'll send you the tour schedule. Far as I know, it's all in Austin right now, but I'm hoping that the relative popularity of the band in Britain leads to a short tour there next year. I know my friends in the Mendoza Line have been across the pond twice this year already.
