Jack, do you think the rest of us live in a vacuum or something? I don't own it, but I've heard it, too! What's wrong with you? You must be evil!  | |||

 This album always reminds me of an incident... Back when I was in high school (when this album was released), the school had an honest-to-goodness radio station. (Low power, but it wasn't one of those dopey carrier current stations.) I was on the staff, and did a dj gig once or twice a week. On one particular "Matt G. Show," I played "In France They Kiss on Main Street" from this album. (I still think Joni Mitchell was a genius.) After I told the listeners (both of them!) the name of the album, I followed it with my editorial comment, "whatever the hell that means." Wouldn't you know, no less than five minutes later, the angry parent of one of my classmates calls in to complain about my on-air language. I thought it was a bit of an overreaction, but I managed to barely escape getting into big trouble with the school administration. My, how far we've come! | |||

Matt, your vignette reminded me of a similarish story... when I was in high school we had an FM station. Whopping 10 watts (motto 1: I can spit farther than that; motto 2: You can probably pick us up in the school parking lot). School in the next district over (much more affluent and snooty) also had a station, I think it was also 10 W. I could get it at my house, as we were on the top of a hill. Really, there was no rivalry between us. Really. One evening, the kids at the other school's station were playing bits from Monty Python albums, including the scene from "Holy Grail": "How do you know he's the king?" "Cos he's not all covered with sh** like us." I wrote a strong letter of protest to the FCC and sent a copy to the school district. OBWhatI'mlisteningtorightnow:  | |||

They actually play him on the radio here. On KGSR and on KUT, which is the NPR station here, but they don't play classical music. | |||
