The incongruities multiply like demons.

"Live Drumming Sunday Nights"? What does that mean? Eat six pounds of potatoes and watch a Mickey Rooney-led drum circle? Eat twelve pounds and Mickey'll pat juba until his hands bleed?

Also, "Happy ½ Hour"? Mickey, you cheap bastard.

One of the great moments of my experiential musical life was being at the Indy 500 (as a photographer) the year Steven Tyler sang the national anthem. Never a strong fan, it was an impressive and perfect interpretation, given Mr. Tyler's services had been requested.

@andrewb: The Mentors' "Woman from Sodom" genuinely embarrasses me when I (rarely) play it. OTOH, I giggle every time I reflect upon the stupid pun that is the title of their "You Axed for It" album.
