Always look forward to seeing the episodes in which they were short of plot material and had to fill with a chicken fight.
So I'm crude and tasteless--so sue me.
When this song was released, I was 16 years old, smoking a Marlboro and cruisin' around in my '68 Chrysler Newport with a Radio Shack FM converter.
I was so cool.

I was born in '67 so I was really young when this song came out. My parents were definitely not into rock and roll, but my brother was 7 years older than me and steered me in the right direction when it came to music. I gave him some money that I earned doing chores to pick out some used albums for me...actual lp's. He came home with Steely Dan (Can't Buy a Thrill), Moody Blues (can't remember exact album name but had Nights in White Satin), and Badfinger (Straight Up). Steely Dan stuck with me. I had all their albums on cassette at one time. Deacon Blues is another favorite tune...among many.
Just pretend this is witty.
Trike drifting.

Drifted in on some drifting trikes and FM ,nice! There weretbt some really good stations when FM was first getting going before "corporate radio" took over the air waves,now it is the same stuff coast to coast. There is no bad music just different types.
Then you've come to the right place
I'm trying to think,but nothing is happening!
Larry Fine could actually play the violin.
Gee Ollie do you think we could play in the ships band?
Thanks Snubby, for FM. That's one of my all time favorite tunes. That sax solo is just killer!
Edited to add: Bigride mentioned "Deacon Blues", which is another of my all time favorite Steely Dan tunes. I did a little research, & both sax solos were done by the same guy; Pete Christlieb, for those of us that give a triple rosy red rodent's posterior...

This one may make me drift uncontrollably all night: How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
I've lived alone for nineteen years. Nobody gives a damn how I fold one, so I make a stab at matching up the corners and then roll it up.

Wow! I watched a "Great Performances" hour on PBS tonight, Annie Lennox, looking and sounding wonderful. Her pitch wasn't dead perfect; but I have a picky ear, and Lennox is sixty. It was still great despite sound mixing that was too heavy on the instrumental accompaniment.
She did a devastating rendition of "Strange Fruit" that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, a fine "I Cover The Waterfront", and a fantastic "Summertime". The songs were from her recent album "Nostalgia", much of which was a selection of her childhood favorites.
All in all it was an hour very well spent. She is a hell of a show woman.
EDITED TO ADD: She also did a wonderful "Mood Indigo"--not an easy song to sing well.

Enjoying my coffee now with the balmy 43° F weather - hoping spring is here to stay, but snow is forecast for Wednesday.[emoji15]
