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

Personally, I was always rather fond of Weird Al's parody of "The Safety
Dance" which was called "The Brady Bunch"

Minor flame time:  What's the deal with all the damn remixes of "classic" (?)
80s new-wave songs?  The Police started it with the remix of "Don't Stand
So Close To Me" - now everyone is in the act: Modern English redid "I Melt
With You"  Gary Numan redid "Cars"  In all these cases, the remixes (IMHO)
pretty much suck.

I've seen a interview on cd called "Talk this Way". It doesn't contain
any songs. (I don't think.)  It confused the hell out of me when I first
saw it.
It was at a Camelot record store that I goto very rarely. It was there
the last two times I went there.  The only reason I never picked it up
was because of a total lack of money.

>There isn't an Aerosmith mailing list, is there?

Yes, this would ge a good collection as an introduction to the Heads.
In addition to the standard cuts, there are a few (5?) never-released tunes.
An alternative to SITV would be, of course, Stop Making Sense. This is, IMHO,
one of the greatest live albums made. Pure energy. If you prefer live cuts,
get this one first.

Keep looking around if you want it cheaper; I've seen it here for as little as
$23.

Um, my understanding is that, like "Terry Thomas", it's not THAT Steve Gadd,
just like one of the other guys isn't THAT John Anderson (to say nothing of
Jon Anderson).  I wouldn't bet money on it, though.

Ob. tangential trivia:

The _Lines_ album by Charlie is one of those that contains the "title" song
from a *different* album.  (The other Charlie album that I know of is called
_No Second Chance_, and the song "She Loves to Be in Love" on _Lines_ has a 
line that mentions "no second chance".  I don't believe there is a "NSC" 
song on _NSC_.

How many other instances like this can people think of?  I mean, besides the
obvious Led Zeppelin one?

I recently saw a series on television called Highlander, which featured
original music by Queen. I thought the date on it was 1985, but I was
watching on a small TV so I'm not sure. Does anyone have info on this
series, or the music Queen did for it, or where I could find out about /
get this music? It was pretty cool. I think the series was kinda mediocre,
but the music was, well, Queen, so it was cool.

I've seen a bootleg from that show.  It took up 2 complete discs, and from just
glancing at it, it seemed to be the *entire* show, from Metallica to "We are
the Champions".  It is probably of good quality, since the show was
broadcasted on MTV here in the States.

In the summer of 1985, I was with my girl at the Jersey Shore outside a club
called the Chatterbox. This balmy night a band called Men Without Hats was
playing. I knew their song "Safety Dance" from MTV (remember the midget?).
Anyway my girl and I weren't planning on seeing the show or anything, not being huge MWH fans, but she was using the public restrooms on the boardwalk there 
at Seaside Heights. As I leaned on the railing overlooking the beach I happened
to glance to my right where, lo and behold was the dude in the video--not the
midget mind you, but the longhaired singer who made the real weird arm gestures
(come on now, you remember!) "We can dance if we want to..." Anyway I'd like to
tell you that i struck up a conversation with this dude, but I didn't...I do
that alot with celebrities...strange, huh? Then there was the time when i got 
married at the writer's conference at a dude ranch in SE Utah and the girl from

Any Dire Straits fans out there ? (Probably a stupid question !)

Did you see the Simulcast in Sept. form the Roman Coliseum at Nimes,
Frane ? It was pretty good.
I saw Dire Straits in concert this March, for 2 shows in Ottawa.
I also saw them in 1985 on the Brothers' in Arms tour.


If anybody has a video of their 1985 concert at Wembley stadium in England,
and would be willing to make me a copy, please email me. I have some audio
recordings I would be willing to trade.

Madonna? Talk about sell outs!  She only does what is popular to make
