I wish I could remember the author - - I have seen reference to this work of late. I bet Frank Uhle knows it (owns it) (reads it nightly). But maybe it's too old to be connected with a 1997 movie? Laura or Andrea referred to "I'm With the Band" recently. Wonder when someone will filmify that one...hey, maybe they could get Rod Stewart & Jimmy Page & Don Johnson & all the other scurvy boys to play themselves.

(answer to Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destructiuon" for the youths among us). I have the LP with somber cleancut dry-look hairdo black turtleneck trio in front of sunrise over ocean. "Universal Coward" sounds like it belongs right in there with the above, "Gallant Men", "Ballad of the Green Berets" my John Wayne album with "The Hyphen" (Chinese-American, Mexican-American, etc. - he espouses just being American, natch) and so on.

A great record indeed, but tell me, did anyone make fun of that terrible harmonica solo. Does anyone know of a harp solo on a hit single which is actually worse? Some of those kids on Back From The Grave sound like Billy Boy Arnold in comparison! As the Z-man said at the Marquee back in '83 "They thought they were the Beatles ...but they were wrong!" Fortunately Gordon Spaeth did not replicate the harp part as per the 'TYKNG' record. ;-) Steve C. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

Since then, he has rested on that accomplishment while proceeding to write reems of the dumbest, lamest columns you could ever imagine. Yet for some reason America eats this up. I believe I vowed to never read another Bob Greene column after he wrote one about how nice the Bob Evans Restaurant he was in made him feel.
