I assume that was Tony Curtis talking about John Lennon. You know who I wonder about? That guy backstage that Paul Stanley was talking to, who told him that a lot of the audience members like drinking vodka and orange juice. How did this person know this? And are all of Paul Stanley's backstage conversations this fascinating?
What's the guitar riff that goes "Wha Woo"?

I'm pretty sure unless memory fails that the original stereo pressings of White Light/White Heat had the spoken word part of "The Gift" all the way over on one channel and the instrumental "Booker T" all the way on the other.

So it was a simple matter for some genius to reproduce the instrumental on both channels and come up with a monster mono jam. Wow.The part with the isolated John Cale brought back some memories for me. When I was in college I roomed in a place with a bunch of stoners, and one of them was a really funny dude named Jim. People liked to hang out in Jim's room and listen to LPs. The experience was enhanced by sitting in the "energy dome" which was a vintage beauty store blow-dryer chair that Jim had trashpicked. There were a few weeks where one of the speakers on Jim's stereo was blown out. This had a pronounced effect on listening to records with gratuitous channel separation.So I have a memory of listening to The Gift while sitting "under the dome". It was pretty much an isolated track of Cale's narration, with a very faint, almost subliminal hint of the left-channel instrumental. And all these years later, Tom has brought a facsimile of this experience to a larger dome of listernership(s).

A few months ago during the Invisible Man / Invisible Hipster monologue, I threw together 90 seconds of audio from the movie with the right channel of "The Gift." Maybe I should take the Invisible Hipster dialogue and put it on the left channel! When you have the instrument track isolated, the possibilities are endless!
