OMFG! BOS2 Elvis C w/ Brodsky Quartet!! A bustout, methinks

I appreciate the rarity, but WOS on aesthetics; I dislike most classical, so that song was like homework for me.

it's a Costello song that happens to have a string quartet; do you consider "Yesterday" homework too?

Or "Eleanor Rigby"?
It took me years to realise the only instruments in that song are strings.

Poppy Bush blows it with the common folk.

put another way, it's the only Beatles song in which none of the band members played an instrument.

Speaking of which, the other day I was trying to remember how many guest artists appeared on Beatles songs? B. Preston and Slowhand...anyone else?

These clips from the Bush/Clinton debates are quite telling. Too bad the questioners in last night's debate couldn't call them on their shit the way that one woman did with George H.W.

And segue of the week into U2's One.

BOS3 U2, "1"

WOS RSF. It was cute once, but not any more. Guaranteed it wins BOS from the Fogheads.

 I believe George Martin played piano on some tracks. Does that count?

Eh, doesn't bother me.  This is a semi-sledgehammer for me.  I got married in 92 and honeymooned in Great Britain.  We heard "Deeply Dippy" about a hundred times on the car radio.  They were huge.

anyone else hear the 9:00 pop quiz today?  I posted on the "KFOG but Not 10@10" thread, there was a very funny moment.

I missed it 'cause the power was out here between 7:10 and 9:15.  Was kind of fun sitting around bullshitting, but I did miss the quiz.  I had the answer yesterday, and they let the phone ring for 5 minutes (before getting the right answer), at which point my phone system decides to give up.  Phooey.

they've been making a point of saying "let the phone RING!" because Greg's on vacay.

I believe that's about it, except for hired session musicians/orchestras like on "A Day In the Life", "All You Need Is Love", "Eleanor Rigby", etc...
