It was Rob's teenage son who wrote the lyrics to the MASH theme. Yes I watched all the features on the MASH DVD . . .
I didn't know that. That'd cause a father some concern!
I've noticed all the discount box sets of MASH, have been tempted but am hanging out for the Soprano's latest series...
It's true about Altman's son...by the way, top songs of 1970 include the hauntingly beautiful, Bridge of Troubled Waters, the classic footstomping All Right Now by Free, and the Norman Greenbaum's positively trippySpirit in the Sky. So, 1970 wasn't such a bad year for music.
Tell me you're being ironic?
There's nout wrong with any of those songs!
Come on now crasster; they're fine, if you're a baby boomer!
Hey crasster, you know I'm half joking right? Though I don't rate Spirit in the Sky - too many damn NYE parties with drunken parents from my earlier life.
Also, Diana Ross left the Supremes to become an untouchable Diva.
Given her ahem, relationship with Michael Jackson, could the two events be related?
