Geez, who gets credit for the "mountain-top ranch" reference implying that Reagan somehow equates to Moses!?

I've driven past it, same road as Jacko's infamous place, and it is mostly flat with a slight rise to the south to a low ridge in Santa Barbara County.

well, the rarities saved this one from too much Morey-on-autopilot-ness.

to my mind this set was redeemed primarily by the reprise of the Ray-gun shotgun clip.  :-)

pre-set: "D'yer Mak'er", which Renee had joked wouldn't be played during A-to-Z because the apostrophes made it too hard to figure out where to put it.  Not sure if it actually got played last week or not.

They did, and to prove their dictionagraphic* incompetence, it was the final D song (D-punctuation-additional letters), and was immediately followed by - not even a comercial break - the first E song (E-punctuation-additional letters), namely E=MC2, by Big audio Dynamite.

*if that's not a word, it should be.

I believe the word you're looking for is "lexigraphic."

And who would like to tell us where D'yer Mak'er should be placed in the order?
