I have remained remarkably uninfluenced by popular music, yet seem to
remember some of the originals. I will flush with Bartok to regain
poise and elegance.

"... I will flush with Bartok to regain poise and elegance." - Neil

His Bear Dance may not quite fit that description. I remember playing
it back in 1959.

had the thought and had to write it down]

Every Other Drug is Hypnogogic -- Sting (Every Little Thing She Does
Is Magic)

Hysterectomy -- Def Leppard (Hysteria)
