1. The Bonzo Dog Band, "The Intro and the Outro." I suppose it would be more accurate to call them "The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band," for that was their name at the time. Whatever. This might be an odd choice to kick off the Summer of Love Random Ten, but was suitably bizarre, and is still a favorite of mine. 2. Toussaint McCall, "Nothing Takes the Place of You." One-hit wonders don't get any better than this. McCall deserved more. Video courtesy of thunderbird1958. 3. Big... MORE

Paul was just waiting for the big payday Paul McCartney has signed a $400 million deal, which will see the Beatles catalog make its way to iTunes, at long last. Though McCartney will probably make off with the lion's share of the cash sum, Ringo Starr and the families of the late John Lennon and George Harrison will also benefit. Michael Jackson, EMI and Sony will also be paid, as they each own a share in the back catalog. McCartney may actually have to pay... MORE

"How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be?
And have you travelled very far?
Far as the eye can see.
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
How often have you been there?
Often enough to know.
What did you see, when you were there?
Nothing that doesn't show.
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man too.
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zo... MORE

"There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
We'll be over soon they said
Now they've lost themselves instead. Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
for I may be asleep. Now it only goes to show
and I told them where to go
ask a policeman on the street
there's so many there to meet. Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
for I may be asleep. Now it's past my bed I... MORE

"Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool.
And he never gives an answer ..... But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around. Well on his way, his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud.
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make.
And h... MORE

"(Lennon/McCartney) I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Luc... MORE

So I gotta admit I haven't been their biggest fan since I discovered Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin when I was a kid. But at the sametime they were one of the biggest 20th century turning points in recorded music history. They were one of the first Rock 'N' Roll hippie long hairs from what I remember.
Plus they drove the girls wild like that crazy Elvis, right mom! Grandma to you younguns LOL ! Anyhoo (I know what I typed) this is one of my favorite tunes from them. It's no... MORE

At a packed San Francisco hearing today, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) defended your Fourth Amendment rights and urged the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to let our class-action lawsuit against AT&T go forward. The case demands that AT&T stop illegally assisting the National Security Agency to snoop on its customers' telephone and Internet communications.
There's much more at stake here than stopping the Bush Administration's illegal spying and hold... MORE
