I don't know... A commercial jingle should be catchy, and this Rice Crispies jingle just doesn't have that. It's an endearing novelty, but it doesn't stick in my mind. I'm still partial to Rosemary Clooney singing about toilet paper. A jingle that can make a roll of shitwad sound memorable, now that's right up there with the best... 1980 Coronet jingle:

Steel Wheels the halfway point of their career? Their set lists in recent decades seem to indicate their halfway point as 1972, and their own authorized 50th anniversary documentary film seems to reinforce that. They looked young in 1989?

Another interesting fact about Kolchak: The Night Stalker. The final episode of the series, The Sentry, has Lieutenant Irene Lamont played by Kathie Browne... ...in real life married to Darrin McGavin. It may strike you how good their onscreen rapport and chemistry is in that episode. Well, that's why.

Always a fun thing to revisit. Love the interaction between Lennon and Jagger -- only a contemporary of Mick's could get away with talking to him like that!

QuoteRocky Dijon The alternative would be fans not looking forward to the release and refusing to post until the album was released. Hardly what a message board is expected. You missed my point.

In that blurb above about the Beatles in India, it reads: "Those few short weeks became one of the most prolific and creative periods of their lives."

How about writing and recording the album for A Hard Day's Night in just 10 da

I fail to see why Stones fans, whose average ages range from 45 to 70, should be expected to like today's flavor of the month pop singers whose product is geared toward 14-year-old girls. The last pop singer who moved me was Norah Jones, in 2002. But I was still in my mid-30s then.
