Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

The refrain is 'So I can get all the pretty girls, so I can get all the pretty girls....'
A couple of years ago, I asked the drummer KK Barrett if it was about the East Village in the late 1970's. He laughed and said "No, none of us had been to New York City yet."
Still, it's one of the best songs about yearning you ever want to hear.

Air Supply was one of those bands I avoided for the longest time and only in the last few years have I really gotten into them. Russell Hitchcock may very well be one of the Top 50 greatest rock/pop singers ever.

"Eileen Farrell, the American dramatic soprano who built a devoted following among the public through her frequent television appearances and was credited with the first successful crossover album, 'I've Got a Right to Sing the Blues,' in 1960, died on Saturday in Park Ridge, N.J. She was 82."

"Ms. Farrell was renowned for the sheer size of her voice. Harold C. Schonberg of The New York Times once remarked that Ms. Farrell, singing in Carnegie Hall, could probably be heard in downtown Newark. In his book The American Opera Singer, the critic Peter G. Davis recounts a story of Ms. Farrell's first performances with the powerhouse tenor Franco Corelli in La Forza del Destino in Philadelphia. After one duet, Mr. Corelli raced offstage shouting in Italian: 'Who is this woman? She has made me deaf!'''
