Mick Jagger, Memo from Turner

 his organ's working perfectly!
But there's a part that's not screwed on.

I think I saw Performance in the old Band Shak at Stanford. That was weird. Not particularly enjoyable.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get the love for that film. it's *very* weird.  Great sndtk, tho'.

yeah, nice song.  first time I remembering hearing it was about a year ago.  Never saw the movie.

I went to a jazz club in Wash DC to see some band and Ted Knight and Tony Bennet were there with their dates/wives, they were drunk off their asses.  Tony was rocking a Jheri Curl rug.

My memories are a bit conflicted here.  Somehow I feel I'm familiar with another version, but not quite sure who I'm thinking of.

MTM --> "One Less Bell", the 5-D. BOS6 just because Mick LaSalle hates it.  ;)

This and the Melanie tunes qualifiy as some pretty nice nuggets in my book.

Damn, what a weird commercial comparing the Nova to OJ Simpson.

And Vechicle was a Morey staple, but it's great.

well it being a bacharach tune, Dionne W did it at one point. But it was (amazingly) written for Keely Smith!

Bell Records getting some good airtime in this set. (IIRC, that was the Partridges' label, too.)

which was LaSalle's complaint: "NOBODY ever fries just ONE egg!"  And that apparently invalidated the entire song for him.

ha, valid complaint, but still a nice song.  Love me some Bacharach/David.  I have quite a few Dionne Warwick LPs.

Maybe you were familiar with Rosemary Clooney's '68 version which was on the Easy Listening charts?
