I would note however that the penguin has appeared on the menu in previous years, but each time the food on the day has been noticeably devoid of any trace of said aquatic bird. Can we finally expect penguin sandwiches to be available this year?
I saw Alain Caron in Mike Stern's quartet some years ago. Yes it's fusion, so he took a couple of solos, and one of them was so damned melodic the tune actually got stuck in my head and I found myself whistling it next day.
They're still humming the tunes because you can't get away from the bloody things said band are still wheezing out the same songs in their 80s.
Ah well, at the end of the day it's all subjective. Some people like 'em. Me, I wish they'd never picked up a mic/guitar/comb & bog paper.
Some of Toyah's songs take me straight back to the 80s. Thunder In The Mountains gives me a nostalgia rush so fierce I can almost smell & taste it. (In a good, non-yucky and non-smutty way.)
From what I understand, that was the first time any of the cast had heard any of the reviews. Rob Reiner wrote them and had kept them secret up to that point.
I loved the commentary on the DVD. When Ian Faith says "F**k the napkin!", one of them (Derek Smalls, I think) says "actually, that was the alternative title for the movie..."
Kim Jong-Un is even better. The very first time he picked a bass up, he played Donna Lee at 240bpm and then played the whole of Victor Wooten's back catalogue twice, and wrote three symphonies. And everyone stood up and clapped, or else.
