Pop quiz, where did Paul get the title?

Woo hoo, BOS Kinks!

"Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard..."

indeed, BOS3 for me.  As a rumination on fame, a better song than "Candle in the Wind" IMHO.

not exactly, it was one of those prosaic diner terms that the waitress call back into the kitchen when placing your order - for a chicken omelette.

(chicken + egg = mother + child)

I guess in NY it's a drug euphemism, but in SF it would be sex.

ETA:  Took the whole family into the City on Saturday evening to have dinner with my friend Carl (who I've sometimes dragged along to club gatherings) & his parents who are visiting.  Parked in the garage at O'Farrell & Taylor on the 4th level & when the elevator door opened, my wife asked, "Going down?"

Guy with the open necked shirt & large diamond stud earring replies, "Well, the elevator is."

I'm quoting this in case we got to page 2 & you didn't see this that I ETA earlier.

Chicago's sounding nice this morning.  I'm late tuning in b/c I got a phone call from an overeager PR guy.  He'd connected me with Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets two years ago; I interviewed her for StarPolish.com and a now-defunct Maryland mag called The Ear.  At the time she was promoting her "soon-to-be-released" solo album -- which never dropped.  Now, it finally is (again, allegedly), to be accompanied by a reunion tour with her DP bandmates.  Not sure if I should take the bait again.  (As an aside, her manager/producer came over to my apartment, LOVED my Earth Wind & Fire poster and offered to smoke me up sometime.)

Thinking about more songs with seldom-played intros, how about "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is"?

Something must be up with the Digable Planets--if memory serves there's a group using that name playing the Independent (Joe, you probably remember it as the Justice League or maybe the Kennel Club) shortly, or maybe recently. Not sure who's involved.
