I saw one link that seemed to be the entire show, but clicking required me to register, and I'm rarely willing to do that.<br /><br /><br />I very slightly remember <i>The Ed Sullivan Show</i> from some years later.

My 'enough' setting is pretty low, though. Never smoke it any more, since edibles became an easy option.

I cuckoo for Lou Reed, but when he sings "Perfect Day" alone it's beyond my limits for sadness.<br /><br />Pavarotti could improve anything, of course.

They were playing live to two time zones and delayed but unalterable to the other two. They were experienced at an average age of 22, but they were an average age of 22, and they'd picked up Ringo fairly recently. Sixty or seventy million people.

I realized that I was speeding to find out what was going to happen next. That's a sign of fine writing and competent editing. Nice job 20 years ago of taking care to turn on your reader. That felt like an odd sentence.<br /><br />Johnjohnthebaskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066837787916271883noreply@blogger.com
