What are you listening to now? Page 642
A Radio 6 special about the history of pop. The announcer just pronounced the home of Motown "Mitch-igan." Heh.

Yes, it's just outside of Lass Vegas.
Dinah Washington --What a Difference a Day Makes
Ok, I've finally caved in and started listening to a Jackson 5 greatest hits collection. But only because I'm old enough and raised-in-Indiana-enough to consider it a trip down nostalgia lane.
There's nothing wrong with embracing your inner Midwesterner.

Those were good, character-forming years.
I bumped into The Jackson 5 at the Indianapolis airport circa 1972 when I was about 9 years old.
I bumped into Chris Rock at the Eaton Centre in Toronto in 1995 when I was 18. Had little effect on me, except for a mildly amusing story.

Might as well spill it now.
I was in my first year of college (went to St. Bonaventure) and we got a chance to go to Toronto for the weekend. So, I was wandering around in Eaton Centre (a ridiculously huge shopping centre)waiting to go see Miss Saigon a few streets over. The girl I was wandering with kept blathering on about how she wondered if we'd see anybody famous. I said, Yeah, maybe a baseball player, because The Blue Jays were at home that day. Well, after an hour of her people watching I said we should get to the theatre. I turned on my heel and literally ran into Chris Rock, who I later found out was there for some stand up thing. I said, "Jesus Christ, sorry" (yeah, I cursed in front of a celebrity on a trip from a Catholic university). He said, "No problem," and turned to go on. The twit I was shopping with said in her loudest, most embarrassing voice, "Was that Eddie Murphy?" (I guess in her melting pot town in Ohio he is the only black man they know of). Chris Rock turned around and said, "No, I'm Chris Rock." He smiled and walked away. She bragged for the rest of the semester about meeting him in Toronto and I know she had no clue who he was.
Cool story. I have an Andy Dick story, but everyone in L.A. has an Andy Dick story. Suffice it to say that he has a bit of a problem.
I saw Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and a bunch of other SNL stars for 25 cents at the University of Florida when I was a student back in 1992-ish. It's funny because the biggest stars were people like Kevin Nealon and Rock and Sandler were mostly unknown.
I remember sneaking 6 bottles of student union-purchased beer into the show in my Army field jacket.
I snuck a bottle of Jim Beam into the Blues Traveller concert on campus. I was afraid of getting drunk and was thrown up on by a drunken kid standing in front of me. I guess that was karma talking.
