Kinda unpolished, but the arrangement is quite cool, with the instruments taking their spots in turn during the first part of the solo. Nice.<br /><br />But let me get this straight: the Hollies and Gary Lewis/Playboys were <i>not</i> the headliners? (Even the Outsiders must have been a better known act nationally. "Time Won't Let Me" was huge.) <br /><br />Gary Lewis/Playboys could play live?

Too bad -- the interview with William Bennett's college roommate was way interesting. As was the Chevy Chase bit -- he was a real prick. Some of the other people have faded into obscurity, though -- William LeBoutillier, for example, who was a one-term Congress punk who came in with the Gingrich revolution of '94.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-74239554493173921322010-09-22T11:09:18.085-04:002010-09-22T11:09:18.085-04:00This is such a fascinating topic, and I look forwa...This is such a fascinating topic, and I look forward to reading all the links.
