Actually, it was another member who added that lyric. Gary Schloss maybe?
Was it a song? Ever heard of Simon and Garfunkel. Hint: they are not New
York clothiers! >>
I think "Kodachrome" was from Paul Simon's "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" album
c. 1973 (?) One of his first post-S&G albums. "Kodachrome" is a good "blast
from the past" song. I grew up in the L.A. area, and all of the radio
stations bleeped out the word "crap" from the opening line: "When I think
back on all the crap I learned in high school/". Language like that was much
too strong for those ancient airways.
For a "blast from the present": anybody heard the Sarah McLaughlan (sp?)
song, "Working On a Mystery" lately? Maybe because her songs are considered
more cerebral than most, I've not yet heard any radio station (in the Dallas
area) edit the line, "A beautiful f***ked up man." Although one station I
heard recently half-heartedly muted the word. Curious double standard, since
current songs with milder expletives do routinely get edited.
Mandatory photo content: Now I know what they do at that Kodak building over
by Love Field!
Mandatory Oly content: Sure got some great Kodachrome pix years ago. I must
run some through my humble Miatani collection again soon!
Optional Apology: for any offense on the McLaughlan song. Not trying to
take this group outside family-content bounds, but it is THE most striking
example I have seen in years, both of boundary-pushing, and of musical double
standards.
Regards,
Tom Moynihan
