Alright, perhaps I was being a bit too generous. How about MC Serch?

I'd say Mike would be the front man of his own band, Led Zeppole.

I would have thought Mike might be Tom Waits.

I am definitely no NAS.  I didn't do any of the beat making.   The beat was made by my roommate.  I've heard the MC Paul Barman twice this week,  not counting the FOT Forum, but I personally don't hear it.  I don't dislike his stuff, I just don't see the connection.

Alright, perhaps I was being a bit too generous. How about MC Serch?

only if he's also a baseball historian. Actually that was Pete Nice (http://www.amazon.com/Baseball-Legends-Brooklyns-Green-Wood-Cemetery/dp/0738534781).

Yea, MC Serch was the guy who, even though it was abundantly clear that he hung out with black people a lot, never missed an opportunity to tell you how many black people he hung out with.  Didn't he even try to join the nation of islam or some such nonsense?

Sarah = Prof. Henry Higgins fronting Dead Moon?  Just throwing that out there.

Dave from Knoxville = 3 Geddy Lees

Fixed!

As Tom pointed out last week about Dan Aykroyd, I am "rather rotund." Apparently I "sucked the straw" in the womb.

Nearer the mark than Vashti Bunyan, anyway.

?

this was my exact reaction, but i can see where Thomas made the connection.  personally, i think sarah=moondog.

Really?  Please elaborate.  I don't get it.

well, i can only speak from my own persepective, but there's something about vashti bunyan songs that make me think of a cabin/house in the middle of nowhere, especially the melodies.  im struggling to describe it, but the brief descriptions youve given of your lifestyle give the impression that youre very content and happy in the woods of Maine.  unless im completely off the mark and thinking of another FOT who lives in the country, at which point, then i dont get it either. 

at any rate, its the vashti bunyan voice that makes me disagree (which is why i threw out moondog).

Ah, okay.  I can accept that.  Ms. Bunyan, however, strikes me as more the fey wood nymph type, which bears no resemblance to me.  Prof. Higgins covering Dead Moon, now . . . that I do get.

In any case, I live on the water.  In a big city of 1500 souls.

Yeah, this was the mental connection I made.
