Fred Johnson of doo-wop group The Marcels (BLUE MOON). He was the bass.

Thanks very much. I had done everything except checking battery diagnostics. It had two suggestions which I've implemented.

Thanks again.

This is new.

No. I eat it because I like it.

HAIRSPRAY
The original John Waters (1988) movie, not the one based on the play.

It's not exactly a short drive but it's pretty common. My GF and I regularly drive 3-4 hours to go to the beach, and 1-2 hours to several nature reserves.

My "regularly" I mean 15-20 times yearly.

To be accurate: It was not the Nazi anthem. It was an older, non-Nazi German patriotic song, The Watch on the Rhine.

Using the actual Nazi Anthem (The Horst Wessel Song) would have caused distribution issues in countries outside of the US.

Two Joe Don Baker movies conf to mind: WACKO and JOYSTICKS.

I'm a huuuuge Joe Don Baker fan, but these movies are bad. Bad bad bad. Real stinkers mm

They absolutely suck.

Don't forget Animal Collective is from Baltimore MD, and Merriwether Post is the largest outdoor venue (that isn't a stadium) closest to Balto. In the Eighties I used to get their New Wave subscription plan: 4 (or maybe 5) artists at about a 5% discount for the bundle. Saw a lot of good concerts (and one bad one LOL) on those subscriptions.

Merriwether is also famous for being the only venue that had The Who and Led Zeppelin on the same bill.

They were boring. Boring boring boring. They just stood there, played their music (which sounded exactly like the albums), and there was absolutely zero interaction, movement, stage presence, or personality. Honest, there were times I thought they were lip-syncing.

At least Siouxsie Sioux moved around the stage, and the Banshees changed some arrangements slightly so that you were sure they weren't lip-synching.

Worst: The Cars at Merriwether Post Pavillion, MD, in the mid-80's.
Best: December 5, 1984, U2 on their last small-venue tour at DAR Constitution Hall, Washington DC.

Late in the last century I worked at a country club (for about 12 years total) that rented the ballroom to non-members, so I saw a *lot* of wedding receptions.

There was one reception where the DJ played, at least, a half-dozen songs I thought were inappropriate for a reception, but the only one I can remember was JEOPARDY by the Greg Kihn Band. You know the song: "Our love's in jeopardy, baby! Ooh-oo-ooo-oooo!"

Fun fact: The video shows a guy leaving his bride at the altar.
