Oh, and there's another Laura Nyro thing coming out in September also, her 1966 demo session, which I did not know about either, until I went looking for the Live in Japan one that just came out. Both are on Omnivore

I was a kid in Indiana when that song came out. Some local radio station offered a contest with a trip to "Aruba, Jamaica or Kokomo, Indiana".

Indiana has a lot of unexpected town names like Lebanon, Disko, Ambia.

McGroovey:

I actually prefer Shatner's Common People. And I'm right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:44pm
Handy Haversack:

Thanks, McGroovey! I run my internet through Canada, which might have interfered.

"Common People" is perfect.
  9:44pm
phat in Lincoln:

Definitely prefer the original series, especially the weirder sets, music, and design.
  9:45pm
ledzeppelinsucks:

MO has towns named after foreign locations.
  9:46pm
Eugene R.:

Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is ... otherworldly.
  9:46pm
P-90:

Yes I saw Brent Spiner with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters in that original production of Sunday in the Park with George. It was awesome.
  9:46pm
phat in Lincoln:

I picture LeVar Burton doing Broadway Standards through like, the early seventies, like Pippin. But I'm probably just associating him with Ben Vereen because of Roots.

I think I prefer Heart's. It's a favorite -- and my karaoke standard.
  9:51pm
phat in Lincoln:

Um, this Routes tune is ridiculously good. Why? What is it doing?
  9:52pm
TVP:

I'd imagine a LeVar Burton album would be him singing the Reading Rainbow theme in different styles (my personal favorite: in the style of Jim Price singing Party Girl).

Blake's 7! It's horrible but I goddamn love it!

"Farscape" by a nose, though "Wormhole Extreme!" is awesome.

"Blake's 7" has Servalan, one of the all-time great villains of science fiction.

The novelizations of old Doctor Who episodes were imported to the States through Seacaucus, which was my introduction to NJ.

I assumed there was a spaceport.
