I'm looking for the executive producer.
I remembered that other question I was gonna ask, but it's a decent clue for
this one: He was the missing link on the judges' panel in the Brady Bunch
movie.
(One of the many suggestions for "where the hell is Bill?": "Maybe he went
to see the Circle Jerks...")

Ahhh.. Misread your question, I guess.. You were looking for
Mike Nesmith?

yeah... the "son of a business supplies magnate" was intended to confuse.

re #573 Good question you mention my favorite movie and one of the best IMO
bands of the 80s in one question.

OK.. Can't think of a decent question, so here's the giveaway..
This navigation feature, present on many (most?) original generation
CD players, has all but totally disappeared from today's players.

Intro (play the first few seconds of every song)?

Intro play, track scan, whatever the manufacturer calls it, is still
an available option on many players. The feature I'm thinking of
probably isn't found on any device produced in the past five years.

What is index search?

Index search is, indeed, the feature I was looking for.. Has anyone seen
either a CD player with the index feature or a CD with indexes produced in
the last five years?
(for those who don't even remember it, track indexes were subdivisions of
a track. I think the original idea was that you might have, perhaps, a
classical CD of several sonatas with each sonata in a single track, sub-
indexed so you could access the beginning of separate movements within the
track.. indexes never became popular, though, and disc makers just made
everything separate tracks, causing the index feature to disappear from
CD players. in my collection of more than a thousand CDs I only know of
two that have tracks subdivided by index.)

I saw a Charlie Mingus cd at the library on two of whose tracks the index
changed at each edit (I only know this because the liner notes said so...
I don't have a CD player which does this.) Which would be more of an
informational feature than a navigation, similar in purpose to including bonus
tracks on reissue CDs. I think the same may be true of my copy of "Bitches
Brew" but I'm not sure (and too lazy to go and look ;-)

I have a Rollins Band Cd that's a single track. It would interesting to see
if it has indexes. *ponders*

Yay, me. ;) I knew the answer to this question because the first CD player
I bought back in '87 was a Sony with this feature. I actually had a CD with
index markings, a recording of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana." I haven't seen
one is a long time though, and I'm fairly impressed that I still remembered
what the feature (ahem.) was called.
I'm thinking of the next answer, but haven't settled on one, yet.

REM's _New Adventures in Hi-Fi_ from 1996 has index marks on at least one
track. The quiet intro to "Leave" and the song itself are on the same track,
at two different indexes.

Alright, it's probably too easy, but I'll ask it anyway:
This keyboardist is credited under the pseudonym of Booker T. Boffin on Def
Leppard's "Pyromania" album.

Okay. This one I have wanted to do for a while:
This Singer/Songwriter/Thespian was cast in the Movie version of "Fame" the
musical. He/She/It was hired for the role in part because He/She/It wrote
a song for the movie.
Name the Person. Extra Noogie Bonus Points if you can name the song, and what
they're doing now.

<shrugs> It's the only instrument-playing scene in the movie where the actor
looks like he's actually _playing_ the instrument.
(what is he up to now?)
<ahem>
This popular musician, criticized a few years ago for performing a graphic
song about lynching, gets airplay mostly on "adult contemporary" and other
"light"-format radio stations.

(he's acting. He has been in episodes of Law and Order, some movies, but now
he's Dr. Romano on ER...the nasty surgeon who is good at his job, but loves
to give others a hard time :) )
