the term for "exit only" in dutch is "alleen uitgang." i was at the van gogh museum the other day, and someone walked by the "alleen uitgang" sign, and started singing, "come on, uitgang!"

BOS to "Take It Away," Paul's last Top 10 that was not a duet or from a movie.  Something chillingly melancholy about this, and I've thought so since the first time I heard it at age 9.

Never thought of that... but speaking of, I have a real soft spot for "No More Lonely Nights", which we've never heard on any 10@10.

uh-oh, sharif don't like Katrinas.

VHM to "Gypsy," such a perfect production, if an oddly disembodied one.

This has always struck me as one of Pete's weirder lyrics.

She'd be more likely to not touch his records if he had stuff like "Only Time Will Tell" in his collection.

It was the only way Pete could continue talking about the size of some dude's snake after "Rough Boys" and "And I Moved."

He should hook up with Mike Meyers -- they can have the cream of Sum Yung Gai.
