Hey, rocket, welcome back. Haven't seen you for a while.

SD are always good. Do you know any Spanish? I'd love to know what the brief burst of speech means at the end of "Only a Fool Would Say That".

Thanks Phil, I have been rather a lurker lately just "listening" in. That song is on Can't Buy A Thrill, I just put it on. I like S.D. a lot. I don't know spanish but a friend does, I'll try and find that out.

Funny, you clearly wrote "The Royal Scam", but I somehow saw "Can't Buy a Thrill". Must have been half asleep.

Note to self: Must...get...sleep...

Phil, I actually played the l.p. on Vinyl night at our store. I am D.J. Peterson (don't ask, it's a long story that would require a new thread, maybe you should, hehehe) and I get to spin the songs from yesteryear whilst all of our albums are twenty percent off from 5-7 p.m. It was rather loud in the store during the end of that one song so I couldn't get a translation. Will not forget though. It's probably something like, "is there gas in the car and did you pack the scale?"

Hi, Robo-Rocket

Just last week I had Steely Dan on the turntable.

At the end of "Only A Fool Would Say That" they say..... d-r-r-rum roll pleaze..... "Solamente un tonto diria eso," over and over with an occaissional "y" thrown in.

Translation: "only a fool would say that" and occaissionally "AND only a fool would say that"

Today, I listened to The Beatles 1962-1966, The English Beat WHA'HAPPENED, and UB40 - LABOUR OF LOVE.

... and YES, I did drink Red, Red Wine. I lost my kids to Ex-Spouse four days ago. But it's okay, really. They have their destiny, and I suddenly have ALL THIS TIME ON MY EVIL LITTLE HANDS!!!

================================================


"Years from now we want to go into the pub and tell about the Terrible Conflagration up at the Place, do we not?"

Thanks rocket and grasstains for the translation. I will listen again and see if that's what I thought I heard.

rocket, "is there gas in the car" is a line from Kid Charlemagne. The "scale" reference is the line before, in the same song: "Clean that mess up else we'll all end up in jail, the test tube and the scale, let's get it all outa here".

Red, red wine is good; losing kids is not - my condolences to you. Glad to see you're making the best of it.

I'm sure it'll turn out OK for you.


"Live Forever!"

grasstains, I wish you all the best in this difficult time. This was my first summer without a visitation with my son. At 17, he has a job, school, and his own life. I wish I owned stock in Coors.

I'll be fine. This will open up opportunities for me. As for the kids, I think they'll be fine too. They're God's children, I was just taking care of them for a while. Now Ex-Spouse can do it... for a small fee, I'm sure. Slimeball.

Buddy Guy, "Damn Right, I Got the Blues!"
-Ironic, vacation over. Putting finishing touches on my room. Students rush in tomorrow...7:45am.

Not so bad though. I get to do Ray Bradbury's works with sophs and seniors! Thanks, Mr. B.

Linda Rondstadt's MAD LOVE.

-and-

Rockwell's SOMEBODY'S WATCHING ME. Both Jermaine AND Michael sing on the album. That's Michael singing "I always feel like somebody's watching me." That's all he does. Well, maybe that's him going "O-O-WO-O" too. I'm not sure what Jermaine's contribution to the album is, but he is also credited. Perhaps Jermaine does the "O-O-WO-O".
