Tony Thompson is always written off as some disco drummer, but he did play with Zepplin at Live Aid and was in rehearsals for a new Zep album. Even if nobody else did, the Zep guys though he could replace Bonzo. I sure thought he could, and he sounds great on Madonna and Bowie and CHIC records, too.

@Alison: and now the vagina dentata issue is making me second-guess the judgment of the people who produced that talking vagina porn movie. Seriously, one concept could subconsciously so easily lead to the other that it would seem like a really bad idea for turning men on.

I don't think anyone's ever played anything on WFMU I actually hated. I used to hate things in my teens. Now I just try to 'get' them -- some times more successfully than others. But if I can't get something, I suppose if I hate anyone it should be me, for lacking sufficient cultural or musical insight...

I love the doctors who suggested that the model for the David must have had this or that disease because the hands on the sculpture are oversized. It had to be explained to them that as the David was originally going to be on a building, the hands were made bigger so that they would look normal-sized from the perspective of a person on the street. Simple artists' trick.

And yay, the HGTTG theme!
