What does Gabby have to say?





RIP Mary Travers

I just read that Mary Travers of Peter Paul and Mary died.  I can hardy remember a time where that amazing trio's music was not a part of my life. The first concert I ever saw was Peter Paul and Mary in 1963.  My family was on vacation in Washington DC and PP&M were performing in the nightcub.  My sister and I were much too young to go into the club, but they let us stand in the doorway for a few songs.  Their voices were magical and I will always have the image of Mary Travers, long straight blonde hair flowing as she threw her head back to sing.

World's Worst iPod: Torn Between Two Lovers by Mary MacGregor
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.

Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture. I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons. 1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels. 2) I used to...

World's Worst iPod: It's a Miracle by Barry Manilow
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
