Damn, that's amazing.
But as you may have guessed, I have an ulterior thematic motive here for posting it, i.e., I'm accompanying a certain Shady Dame of my acquaintance into NYC today to hold her hand during (and immediately after) cataract surgery. And yes, you can thus reasonably accuse me of having lied yesterday about my plans for today's entry.
So a hearty nea culpa. Hey -- it's all I've got.
Anyway, scout's honor -- we will return on Monday with a brand new song by a young band heretofore unknown to me that's like the coolest actually power pop thing I've heard in ages. Think The Hollies with funnier lyrics and louder guitars. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait.
In the meantime -- have a great weekend, everybody!!!

In answer to the headline question. No. Dorothy Parker, bless her heart, was wrong, wrong, wrong.
We'll cut her some slack because she said "seldom", not "never."
Had my cataracts done years ago. The vision change was pretty amazing. Good luck to the Shady Dame

2/"open my eyes" is the earliest of several of todd rundgren's songs on the topic of improved perception - a leap into the deep end of esoteric interpretation can be found at

Fantastic cover, for sure.
And of course, best of luck to Shady Dame!
"Gorgeous" and "Susanna Hoffs" will never not appear in the same sentence.
Bought the album that this came from in 1978 Still recall the cover - ahhh all those years ago.

hopefully the song 'I can see clearly now' by Jimmy Cliff will be appropriate after the surgery. cheers rs
Oh, Susanna...her new book is also amazing!

I've always loved the Bangles. I just wish they had kept their original name - the Bangs.
I had friends,who lived with Todd in Woodstock years ago. One went on to begin a well known artist. They had great stories all verified by Todd

two rundgren songs - "hello it's me" AND "couldn't i just tell you"
our friends at wikipedia say about the latter "The song is considered influential to the development of the power pop genre."
The Floor Models did Couldn’t I Just Tell you live, with special guest David Grahame.
