Poor Mr. Mister: two Number One hits and this album (allegedly) never recouped.  Fucking label assjockeys.

I never realized it cost so much to fuck a label assjockey!

Y'know, I'm really happy to find that DLR's take on CG has held up so well.  It really is a fun rendition, and one cannot think of it without thinking of the GENIUS videos he did for this and "Yankee Rose."  It may have just been the effects of the cocaine, but he was really on top of his game this year.

Y'know, I'm surprised that he hasn't written a tell-all book yet. I'm sure he's got a few tales to tell, although he may not need the money. I gather his family had money, and I suppose he still gets a piece of the performance royalties for a good number of Van Halen hits.
