Re: (TV) Is nothing sacred?

As long as we're sharing Jojo anecdotes... I too grew up in the BCN 
footprint and, although I don't specifically recall hearing Roadrunner 
there, I heard it on *some* radio station one night around 1977, 78 as 
I was driving home on Rte 128 (which those who know the western suburbs 
of Boston understand as the main connecting highway to anywhere). Thus 
the line "I'm in love with modern moonlight/128 when it's dark outside" 
just about made me drive off the road. Bought the record within the 
week, fell in love immediately.

As long as Richman is seeing some green out of the ad, that's sacred 
enough for me.
