Good choice.  Has McCain used any rock songs by acts who haven't protested his use?

You could always count on Scotti Bros. Records for something appalling, but their release of a Fabio record may have reached lower even than Electric Light Orchestra II.  I'm surprised they didn't do a Beatles II.  This is what happens when a label leaves everything to the marketing department.  And I must admit it somewhat undermines my previous argument that concept albums as a rule were moneymakers, because everything Scotti Bros. did was a concept album.  But hey; they were right about Bat out of Hell II...

Oh; and did no one involved in recording this ever stop for a moment to recall Steve Martin's "European Lover"-voice from the SNL skits, which parodied this fifteen years before it was made?

Z, you just threw in ELO II to get me frothing at the mouth, I know you did.  Bunch of wannabes.

Saw your MOG page with the quotes, reminded me of one from Churchill:

Lady Astor to Churchill: "Winston, if you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison" 
Churchill: "Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it"

Hey, Konk!

What; like I said something nice about them?

Churchill also had:

Offended Lady at Table: "Sir you are drunk!"

Churchill: "Yes, madam, but you are ugly, and tomorrow morning I will be sober, but you will still be ugly."

Of course, Churchill was no looker himself.  But it makes you wonder how many women he must have treated rudely at how many dinners for a man so stupid to have come up with two such great zingers...

Good to see you, mate.

I found this on a site that offered recitations of various poems; I can't remember what it was called.  It definitely stood out.
