Hello everybody
The Billy Joel discussion reminds me that Dan Bodah is on the record saying he'd just love to get a Billy Joel cassingle. If form holds, he would even actually play it before destroying it. I've looked in garage sales nearby, no luck so far. But if you spot one, that could make a DJ happy

Joe, since you seem to like disco, I've gotta tell you to check out "Disco Circus" by Martin Circus. I played it at the store yesterday and it was pretty amazing. You may already know it, but if you don't, do yourself a favor and check that shit out.

As far as I know Los Lobos has had the same lineup since 1973. I can't think of another band that's been that stable for over 40 years.

I'm not opposed to belts. I just have an aversion to wedgies, dating back to my childhood and a horrible industrial accident involving my Uncle Julio.

My plan for tonight: youtu.be...
The twist is I'll be standing in the pit, something the choreographer wanted, but is unusual in dance. He said he wanted a rock concert feel to this one, with people holding beers in front of the stage. I'll do my best, though it's unlikely beers will be allowed inside

Gracias Joe. It was horrific and involved an industrial winch. It took me years of therapy, tequila, and self reflection to come to terms with it, but I have and now use it as wellspring and it has been the inspiration for many of my most romantic songs.

A great debut albums. Shame that Bob Johnson got involved in the Fog. John Anthony was a good staff producer.

P-90:

"David Hidalgo" seems fuzzy on a few of his facts. It wasn't a winch; David's "uncle" (actually his mother's second cousin,) Julio Cortes, was injured, but the accident involved an athletic supporter and a lathe. And injuries were not so severe, the union had him back on the factory floor (in a job that could be done from a wheelchair) just a week later.
