I saw Pat Benatar as a “rising star” when she was pushing her first LP on tour. A radio station was giving away tickets and when I called in, the person on the phone had no idea who I was talking about. I did get my tickets, eventually, and got to see her in a small venue–along with Paul Kantner from the Jefferson Airplane. We were the oldest people in the room.

Oh as I am looking at the Sweet video, I saw one ‘Gary Glitter’. You will know his music but not him. Whenever a sports stadium blares out “Rock and roll…HEY, rock and roll” – you are hearing Gary Glitter and he is pocketing royalties everytime. Here is the song play it if you don’t know what I am talking about:

*However* next time you hear that song, please write a letter to the stadium owners and tell them that they are playing the music, and funding a convicted child predator…..

Gary, the technical term is “Plurium Interrogationum ” or ‘loaded question’. Apparently we have already been touching ourselves….

Animal Friends lyrics from Zaboomafoo:

This animal is a friend of mine
From the tip of his nose to his funny behind
All the friends that we met today
Are special in their own way
We’ve all got different names
But we’re really all the same
Thanks for dropping by
We’re glad you came
These animals are friends of mine
They jump and swim, crawl, fly and climb
One more thing we have to say,
Go make an animal friend today! Yeah!
