Boy With A Problem wrote:Isn't This Year's Model a great debut for Elvis Costello and the Attractions?

No, that was Armed Forces!

Unless this is a subtle joke that I'm not getting, Boy With A Problem is right.

Not Mr. Average, but that did sound like him didn't it!

The radio station is in commercials now...

"It's Still Rock 'n' Roll to Me"--Billy Joel. With this song he completely refuted punk rock and all of modernism! Later, unexpectedly, he went on to front Green Day.

LittleFoole wrote:But what about Tortelvis - don't leave him outta the loop

That was when Elvis had legal troubles.

"Whole Lotta Rosie"--AC/DC.

Otis to Kissy: Come, come o newcomer of curiousness Why visit on us all your furiousness? MS does deserve respect for reading that enormous and enormously difficult book. You read it in college probably but although you initiated the idea of reading and discussing it on this board you bowed out. It ...

Hey Compost (????) Admittedly this is clever but I don't approve of name calling. You owe cosmos an apology! But what I do approve of is your precise punctuation here. One question mark would not be sufficient to communicate the degree of your confusion so you offered a whole bouquet of them. And h...

You are wrong, but then you should be used to being wrong by now.

Perhaps unconsciously I adopted his style to protect my precious identity. But I am not A Pope Lash. I consider myself his opposite.

invisible Pole wrote:My strong "linguistic" suspicion - he/she is not from UK/Ireland.

When someone opens with "Hola, y'all" linguistically he could be located anywhere on the globe. But you happen to be right!

Jackson Monk wrote:...and what have I ever done to be classed as rogueish??

Jackson, I suspect you're more rogue than monk. If I'm wrong, I apologize. I'm not wrong.

bobster wrote:I have my suspicions, but it's truly too early to discuss them.

'It's Truly Too Early To Discuss' is my favorite song on Brutal Youth. But I think I know what you're getting at and no, I am not Kimmy.

I wish Alan Freed status on all of you.

Rosie deserves an Emmy for her portrayal of that deaf girl with a passion for public transportation IMHO.

Yes, they're related by first name! It is a rare and wondrous marvel of nature!

Leave it to you to make a film reference, of sorts.

I snub the cucumber and to you I do veer

You snub the cucumber? That's not what I've heard. j/k!

Little Foole you were really great on this thread!

At the Junction - Squeeze

Compost, the song is called "Up The Junction". I bet you've been getting millions of emails about that!

Mood Swung, this thread is clearly for people who did NOT read Ulysses . Since you are the only one to have read the book cover to cover please refrain from commenting. Bobular, Otis Westlinghouse, and Alex X do not allow the author to influence their verdicts. Even Ellman only read the Cliff's Note...

Amigas and amigos! (Ladies first!) Howdy! I am motivated by love for the music of Elvin Costello and another kind of love for Rosie O' Donald. I hope to share my knowledge with y'all. Rosie is quite simply the perfect woman. I baked her a cake and tried to deliver it to her on her birthday but was p...

Confession time! Forgive me Dr. Spooky for I have sinned! When I first learned that my beloved Rosie O' Donald (I call her The Divine Miss O.D.) had a crush on Tom Cruise I went ballistic. My sister (no relation) said at the time "The only way she could have a crush on him is if she hugged him....

Jennifer Love Hewitt's "How Do I Deal?" Many don't know that in addition to singing she also acts. She is a true Renaissance Man. I had the pleasure of meeting Love in my local supermarket. She was counting her items and was distressed to find that she had sixteen items--one too many to qu...

Hola, y'all! I've been lurking for several years but now it's time for me to give back. I love EVERYONE but these are my special favorites. Jackson Monk and Rogue No particular reason. Copulating Fan We can always count on him to elevate the tone of the discourse. Bobular He reminds us he went to UC...

Happy birthday, Dr. Spooky! That is like the coolest cake I've ever seen in my whole life!
