ah, Leah -- it's "Ah Leah"!  Donnie Iris can't stop the burning -- there's an ointment for that, Donnie. VHM, still a great rock single from a period when rock radio was fighting with itself.

And you'll recall in 1970 Donnie Iris (real name Dominic Ierace) wrote and sang "The Rapper" as part of the Jaggerz:

so, was Reagan in bed with the Iranians to keep the hostages away until the election?

that's a conundrum for the ages  -- much-debated, tho' *technically* nothing's been proven.

It's an article of faith with me.  Casper & Poindexter did it.

That was my call-in BOS since I was driving during the 10:00 hour.

That's very generous of you.  There is never a time nor a place for a banana-yellow tux jacket.  Mr. Iris (pronounced in Pittsburgh as "Dawny Ahhrrs") had yet to master the medium of video.

Agreed on the teeth, of course.
