Percy goes all Nordic on yo' ass!
I always hear
Quote
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the huskies go.
I guess I've listened to too much Zappa to hear this song in a non-comical way.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

This is one of the great classic sets in the archive, and a 4-way tie when all is said and done.  Originally from 8-8-03 if you want to look it up.

I met Neil a couple years ago at a rare book signing. Got a couple close-up pics of him arriving.  Didn't have opportunity to talk long, but did get a couple minutes to exchange pleasantries.

I guess they were rare once he'd signed them.

Rare Earth, the white boys hired to rake in more for Motown.

Love Sculpture's first LP (Dave Edmunds) was on the Rare Earth label.
