The little business office at the recording studio where we rehearse has three bobbleheads on the middle shelf above the desk. I always make note of them every time I'm there, as I was last night. They reflect something about one of the co-owners, a person who once wrote a song, a very good song, called 'Red Nails' -- two words that could signify, as they do individually in each of the of the song's three verses, religion, sex and drugs.

Oh, the three bobbleheads? Jesus, Bettie Page and Keith Richards

pssssst, psa. It's Bettie not Betty.; 10:37 AM

I am 61 years old.

I think you gave me my first boner when I saw your picture in one of those magazines in Uri's barber shop on St.Roch St. between Champagneur and Bloomfield avenues in Montreal July 1955.; 10:53 AM
