Which was also one of the Danny Hutton pre-3DN singles: a very bizarre remake on his part.

I never knew that!  The original reminded me of stuff like the Tremolos' "Silence is Golden".

One of my favorite things about WLNG is that their newscasts include recent local arrests: so-and-so was charged with DUI, etc.  And the classic, "the men were charged with patronizing a prostitute".  Wake up, guys -- hookers HATE to be talked down to; you should NEVER patronize them...

Which reminds me, I was in the Andronico's on Irving last night a little past 10, and Sylvester's (You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real was on the store PA. Only in SF.  

(I'd have thought it was 10@10 if I hadn't just left the set playing in the car, and known it was still playing Low Rider.)

Play that funky Muzak, white boy...

Do they still even have Muzak any more? I know the company still exists, they provide "music services", but I mean in the sense of orchestral versions of the hits?  I remember being in a NY supermarket in 1983 and hearing a Montovani-esque take on "Hungry Like the Wolf" -- this was as the Duran Duran orig was still on the charts.

And the string-laden Percy Faith version of "Ballad of John & Yoko" is one of the great bad Beatle covers, right up there with Bing Crosby's "Hey Jude."
