The run of singles from "Do You Believe In Magic" through "Six O'Clock" is outstanding and the group deserves a serious biography. I for one, would like to know about why Erik Jacobson was dismissed as their producer, he was an important piece of the puzzle and their star faded once he was gone.JZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830586696690222760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-38746268474041799762012-06-05T15:59:07.787-04:002012-06-05T15:59:07.787-04:00What a cool song.

He has so much on his plate to begin with. Besides he gave Lane the option to resign. He could have had him arrested, and I believe Don doesn't have much of a soul to search through.FD13NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964671671960423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-31570586809212076602012-06-05T12:44:27.595-04:002012-06-05T12:44:27.595-04:00Actually, I think it was Don's fault -- Lane w...Actually, I think it was Don's fault -- Lane was a very proper Brit gentleman and I think Don should have realized that suicide was the kind of thing the guy might do -- but in any case, I think Don's gonna be guilt-wracked and engage in some uncharacteristic soul searching as a result.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-1368881854199256372012-06-05T11:06:23.390-04:002012-06-05T11:06:23.390-04:00Hey, Jared Harris was Moriarity in the last Sherlo...Hey, Jared Harris was Moriarity in the last Sherlock Holmes movie. I make no argument for their artistic merits, but those big-action blockbusters make a buttload of money, and Moriarity is a continuing character. I'm sure Harris is doing just fine.<br /><br />I once saw John Sebastian booed off a stage. Admittedly, he was opening for Rodney Dangerfield--a pairing which should have raised anyone's eyebrows--but it was still rude as hell.NYMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863355110457910935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-29492609397512992002012-06-05T10:59:21.164-04:002012-06-05T10:59:21.164-04:00Actually wasn't Don's fault about Lane.

At first I thought he was going to jump out the window from his office. Amusing scene when the Jaguar wouldn't start, an expensive Dodge.<br /><br />Very nice Spoonful song to close out the episode.
