What a strange segue, though, from Valerie Bertinelli dropping the baton to Rafferty's Baker St. excursion.


Watched Ms Bertinelli last nite in that new TVLand sitcom, Hot in Cleveland -- with Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and the great Betty White. It was surprisingly funny.

Thought you'd enjoy this:

I'd like to see a work/life chronology for each of them since that time.

OTOH, genius segue from the installation of the Pope (which I nearly WOS'ed) into "It's gonna take a lotta love / to change the way things are."

Re: Howard Cosell - Ah, Battle Of The Network Stars.  I can't recall if I actually saw any of these when they first aired (I was 8, mind you), but the concept boggles the mind.  David Letterman in a relay race?  What?

Ah yes, Baker Street.  Absolutely one of my Katrinas as well.  It's indelibly linked to going ice skating at Southland ice rink in Hayward.  My grandma would take me and I'd just do endless laps.  When I heard those saxophones, I would kick it into overdrive.  Ahhh.

I really hope we're getting "Copacabana" as counterpoint to "Stayin' A 'Trina"

the Letterman mention surprised me, too.  I knew his morning show started airing later (1980) so I wikipeed him and in 78 he was a Carson favorite and one off his regular replacement hosts.  So he was sort of known, but wanted more exposure for sure.  Plus, you know he's a jock and would have jumped at the chance to get all athletic and show off in front off those tasty H'wood starlets.

Ha!  well, "Flashlight" works in that vein, and may be the best we can hope for.
