Actually, you playing LP & MF got me searching for references to them living in Jackson Heights, the land of my upbringing. I found this quote from an interview: "In 1941, I stuck my hand in the transmitter of an illegal radio station I had made in my basement in Jackson Heights. I was nearly electrocuted. That accident ended my career for a year."

Les broke his right arm in a car wreck and was told it would have limited mobility, he worked out with the surgeon that it would be set at the most favorable angle for guitar playing.

So what I thought was a a cold a few weeks ago turned out to be Covid. After three years of carefully avoiding it, and still being just about the most cautious person I know, I managed to get it. It was a shock to me. I've had every possible vaccination and have still been masking. Nevertheless, it messed up our Christmas. I never even got a temperature and thankfully didn't get very sick at all. My wife got it a little worse. My sense is that this latest version is milder but far more contagious. So be careful out there!

To clear out some C&K merch, I was instructed to think of a game.

It was a smash hit! One guy was all, "I just have a gambling problem -- this is so exciting!"

I saw "Over the Edge" at a rep theater in the Village, maybe a few years after it came out, & liked it (then again, I grew up on Longuyland and its indictment of suburbia felt apt to me). Based on stories from a real community in California, & it was Dillon's first film---they literally discovered him in a Westchester junior high school. Not as good as "River's Edge" but it was better than expected. I think it was pulled from theaters quickly (like "The Warriors" for supposedly encouraging teen violence).

As someone who read "...Dunces" around the time everyone was going crazy over it, I thought it was over-rated and not as funny as many found itm but I thought they could've made a better, more focused movie from it, but apparently it's "cursed"----actors who could've done a great job as the lead have died (Belushi, John Candy, maybe even Chris Farley, god help us) & I think it's had major problems.
