Didn't know Zorn had a lemma. Don't you have to have a license for one of
those?

I've recently been having trouble with my car. Any good car songs I should
listen to? "Why Can't You Fix My Car?" by Leo Kottke comes to mind...
"Driving in My Car" by Madness...

Apparently, William S. Burroughs died the other day. Bad year for the Beat
Generation...

re126 In Cars - Gary Numan or the Car Talk theme song.
re127 I've got a copy of Burroughs "Nothing here now but the recordings" a
collection of readings, pieces of 'stuff', like holding the microphone
against the throat and doing some readings. Experimental, indeed!

RE #126 How about "Stop Dragging My Car Around" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
(a parody of "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" by Stevie Nicks with Tom
Petty)?

Did you know that the Guys of CarTalk have two albums out! I keep saying and
i am going to go out and find them. I think I would go well with my Garrison
Keillor Collection!

re #126 as well: Don't forget "Maybelline" by Chuck Berry. He was indeed
singing about his car.

Dream -- owning a Cadillac?

I suspect "Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" was about money, which would
apply equally well, in the case of my car repairs...

There is a song on the Dead Kendedies "Plastic Sugery Disasters," that has
the chorus "trust your mechanic to rip you off," I don't know the name
of the song though.

re 136 Numan had lots of hits. They just never played any of them on the
radio.

Also, I believe that Gary Numan was British, and may have had more hits
in the UK.

Bruin in #134, on songs about owning Cadillacs:
I assume you are talking about Johnny Cash's ONE PIECE AT
A TIME, which I mostly know from the Michelle Shocked version on
a Cash tribute album. I'm surprised I don't hear that song more
around Motor City, actually.

tpryan- I've heard that Cosby monologue! Hilarious, of course... My brother
got ahold of the original album it was on at some garage sale in the 70s.
Great stuff...

Jon, are you using the "read xx new" command? (where "xx" is the number of
the conference item that you wish to read) This will prevent you from seeing
old messages.

Friday night marks the premiere of _Shall We Dance?_, a Japanese movie
involving ballroom dancing, at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. There
should be some great music in the film. Event begins at 8P and is said to
include a ballroom dance demonstration. Not sure what the ticket
situation for that evening is like, but the film, itself, will continue
all through next week into the next weekend.
