We're promised a "deep track" from Macca -- meaning, I presume, something from London Town that isn't "With a Little Luck".

Hope it's "Morse Moose & the Grey Goose", but will also be glad to hear the title track.

See, if the guy in this song said, "What's a matter *Mick*, gonna come around at ten with some Puerto Rican girls..." then it would be in that category we were discussing last week.

BOS Steve Martin, BOS#2 Jimmy B, feeling "like a man just released from indenture."  One of his many great turns of phrase from the early years.

Does he still sing the line about "glad I don't live in a trailer"? A lot of his fans live in trailers, no?

It's the title track, which I still contend is one of Paul's lovelier confections.

You ever been to one of his shows lately?  At least on the west coast it's very much a wine & cheese type crowd.  Maybe when he plays gigs in Texas or Georgia he gets trailer folk, but not out here.

Mr Seger's ode to Cheryl Tiegs gets a VHM from me.

"she had been born with a face that would let her get her way..."

This & the Macca are back-to-back Zeitgeists for me, my brother Chris only owned about 6 LP's at this time, which he played to death, and London Town was one of them.  And Seger was very big in St. Louis, and this song in particular resonated with my 15-yr-old self.

BOS2 Superman trailer.  Saw parts of it on HBO recently (prior to seeing Superman Returns and it's still pretty wonderful.

Clark Kent: Blue Collar (and Red Cape) Man! BOS3 Styx! Cheeze for breakfast!

My wife picked up the original Superman in a bargain bin right after we saw the 2006 version, and we watched it the following weekend.  My god has that NOT aged well.  Cheesy beyond belief.  And what the hell is Jimmy Olsen supposed to be doing standing around on the Hoover Dam for half the movie?

But by the same token I'd forgotten just how young Chris Reeves was in the first movie, and after seeing both flicks so close together I gotta say that Brandon Routh does an amazingly precise impression.
