~ Good Day FMUVianz ~
JoeMcG - if you like Rod Evans, do you like Captain Beyond ?
Now I has Watch Apps (4''s of HiDef characterizes the current era for me if you will) - recently saw King Creole (1958) with Carolyn Jones & Walter Matthau as the heavy (no typewriter I recall) - & don't regret it. Yeah - Elvis had the potential to really act, would we agree? - we presume the Colonel kept him from better roles that might mess with his 'image' (thus accomplishing the opposite). It's fading yerknow - but remember used to get a little buzz when Elvis flicks would come on the small handful of channels we got on the antenna - perhaps perennially. It was no Hard Day's Night, but... Yeah the Blue Hawaii songs stuck I think...

So after the show Mel sees Bill from across the room, and he waves to him, and Bill starts walking toward him with this vary awkward gait. And Mel thinks he's joking, so Mel starts doing it too! And his assistant is saying, stop, stop, but it's too late. He wants to crawl into a hole, but Bill said, you know what, everyone's always afraid of offending me. No one's ever been that honest.

Ah yes...meant to Google it. It's a really good album and features John Sebastion as a sort of session player

I loved ‘Scoop’ and ‘Another Scoop’ myself, and the weirdly exclusionary CD compilation ‘Scooped’ … Pete’s demos were revelatory to me. Played ‘Politician’ for a midterms special a few weeks ago.

There's a shoe gaze group ( I think the telescopes) who do a great version of Pete's demo version ( which is fantastic) of the Goods Gone

Thanks Joe. I feel like a test subject after that last set. Hopefully there are no long-term side effects.
