17 June 2010: it's... 1978

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.

Hrm, I should check that out.

Oh, here's the YouTube vid where Annalisa must've gotten that BofNS audio:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87LjUhwGGXs&NR=1

Lookit Levar run!

Oh man, I heard that ringtone and was afraid she was going to somehow segue into Pink Floyd.

LOL!  I had *precisely* the same reaction.  (I was cleaning instead of posting while the set was playing.)

BOS2 to Darryl's son.

And OMFGWTFF is Barry smoking doobage there?!?

OMFGWTFF is Barry smoking doobage there?!?

it would appear so -- relieves the stress of 67 years in the closet.

OMG, Telly Savalas protesting something or another with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Watching this show is amazingly surreal.

I find the KISS records reference funny in this song.

the band has humor, for sure.   In concert, Rick Nielsen usually chucks out a faux Kiss album at that point int the song.

He used to toss real ones. Wha' happen? There should still be an endless supply in garage sales and thrift stores around the country.

Interview w Rick Nielsen

Q: Do you still throw out KISS records during 'Surrender'?  Is it easy to find vinyl copies of KISS records these days? Before long you'll only be able to throw out memory sticks?

A: Yeah, we're the only reason KISS got back together for the 35th anniversary tour.
 
Q: Do you get a discount from Gene for all the KISS covers or do you have to pay him royalties for using the KISS brand?!

A: Yeah, Gene charges us double - nah Gene's a good guy but his sleeves are hard to come by these days, so we use some Cheap Trick flats as well......but if we can find a good KISS record we'll definitely toss that into the audience.
