Hallo!! In case anyone cares, The Make-up were - as ever - fab. You should see them when they play your town. but you already knew that. <<Courtenay turns up again in a similar film of that time,"Billy Liar">> I think Yo La Tengo wrote a song about him? Anyway, this film, along with one called "gregory's girl" have been mentioned before, but I have yet to find either available for rent here. so do any US list people, bay area specifically, have suggestions on where to find them? under what category (comedy/drama/action/romance/...adult?!?) do they fall? I feel so left out. << it contains Teddy Pendergrass. Who is he, and what is he to me?>> Finally my hours spent nibbling biscuits and watching VH-1's "Behind the Music" come in handy... okay, let's see! ::clears throat::: Teddy Pendergrass used to be in a 60s/70s band called the Bluenotes, they are quite famous for a song called "If you don't know me by now" which was later covered by Simply red or Paul young or someone equally boring. He went on to a successful solo career, putting out some acclaimed soul albums, and as I recall, lead a somewhat debaucherous lifestyle. In the early 80s, Teddy was in a terrible car accident and was left paralyzed from the waist down. he still continues recording, but has found God and now leans toward the gospel music side of things. Now if only someone would ask for some info on Andy Gibb or John Denver... I'm trying to convert a friend to the ways of B&S. Please e-mail me privately (i.e. no clogging up Sinister with song l*sts) if you can suggest songs that should definitely be included...none of my previous conversion attempts have been very successful, so i am pathetically seeking assistance. tata, Tara +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
