You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

Is there any other record quite like the 4 Seasons' version of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"? Any other record quite so unself-consciously daffy in the same way?

Not familiar with it. Know (and like) the song and the group, but not their version. What's it like? Trying to imagine it I find myself earwormed with "Lightnin' Strikes". (And you can be, too! C'mon, you know you want to!)

I fear the mp3s, but I love the cover: Love Conquers Alda. (Polly Holliday played Flo on Alice.)

Who is between Batman and Brian Wilson? Click on photo album and check out the Sinatra/Raquel Welch pic. "Ooh, Francis, is that a gun in your pocket or are you... nope, that's definitely a gun." Yeah, I know that's not his pocket, but it is a gun.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Who is between Batman and Brian Wilson?

Is this a serious question? If that's Brian Wilson two people clockwise from Batman, then between them is the Green Hornet.

Yeah. 13 out of 14 for the year before I was born ain't bad. "If that's Brian Wilson..." -- it's not Kelly Osbourne, Mr. Is this a serious question.

Johnnie Johnson died. Here's an article about him and a Fresh Air interview with him from 1991.

Johnnie Johnson died.

Awww, man. He was the piano player in my all redundantly named band with Dave Davies, James Jamerson, Benny Benjamin, Sylvain Sylvain...

High mortality rate in that band.

Whereas the mono-named Bono and Prince and Cher continues to live and live. Draw your own conclusions.

A Boy Named/Called Charlie Brown wasn't a documentary; it was an animated feature film. It's the one where CB goes to the national spelling bee.

Thanks Jon. That's what I get for trying to research/post at 2 am. I've never seen it - but the soundtrack is good.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Whereas the mono-named Bono and Prince and Cher continues to live and live. Draw your own conclusions.

That being in this band would be very strange for Cher and Bono. Beyond the weirdness of these people being in the same band, I mean.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I totally want to see the band that Bono, Cher, Madonna, & Prince make up. surely there are more.
