Ooh.  BOS to a longtime favorite of mine, the Paul Williams-penned "Old-Fashioned Love Song."
I wonder if you can still get a dream date with him (with knee-pads, of course).

Do y'all know about his famous anti-Anita Bryant ad? When she was at her peak, he and his wife took out a full-page ad in Variety:

"Mr & Mrs Paul Williams would like to announce that they no longer serve screwdrivers"

Moreyesque clips too: the fabulous Vivian Pickles in H & M.
Didn't hear about that, but he looks great.  I just checked his website.

But what is H&M?  I guess I wasn't paying attention.

Never mind.  I looked it up: "Harold and Maude".

Paging Mr. Urth!  Mr. Urth!  Your Kinks are here!

is this the first time we've heard a song while someone was using its lyric as their sig-quote? TANC-of-the-month!

speaking of sig quotes, I just updated mine to a quote I heard yesterday.

we all know Carlos is a big fan of agriculture, but  I'm confused... he's actually the hose?  so where's the water?  Maybe that's why all my plants die.   ;-)

Oh my.  That was terrible.  So overwrought, and that's saying something after Bowie's pretty heavily wrought version.

even amongst the Moreytrinas we got what I assume were 2 bustouts -- the Kinks and the Bowie.

Carlos is the hose but Geddy Lee is the hoser.

Never heard about that - that's great!

Arrgghh, missed another goodie. Oh well, that's going to be happening more in coming weeks and months, I fear. Got home around 9pm, and flopped on the couch once the car was unloaded, not even thinking about 10@10 until the set was about done. Oops.

Yes, my BOS most certainly would have broken the tie in favor of the Kinks. Yes, this may be the first time one of our sigs has appeared in a set, but since I've had that as my sig for well over a year (if not more) I don't think it can count as much more than a coincidence. It was bound to come up eventually. :)
Let's get right to it.
