Got that and the old 38-track "Top 10 Hits" at the same time, a little after his "30 #1 Hits" came out. I'm sure that one sounds way better, but I just looked at it and said, whoa, it's a supposedly definitive Elvis package and it doesn't start with "That's Alright Mama"? and thus became obsessed with culling the millions of Elvis compilations for the most complete yet most compact and affordable non-overlapping combo of Elvis "hits" I could put together, and I'm quite pleased with my results. I done seen the Killer play live once, and Cash, pre-Rubinization. Both at a late lamented annual bluegrass fest in Rocky Gap, Md. Good times.

Incidentally, I'd be curious - while taking another whack at the RIAA - how often people download tracks to make comps like this one. There are so many repackagings of that material - it seems perverse if, just because one of them has every track you want plus one, you're expected to buy the second one just for that one track... > >>lp: home-burned Swervedriver b-sides compilation > > Oh, good, you found them.

That was the day when Bob Hope's death was announced. As soon as I had heard the news, I remembered that his birtday fell on a significant date, but could not remember which one. I looked it up: he was born in London on May 29, 1903, the same birthday as President John F. Kennedy, who was born in 1917. Bingo! You see, July 28 is not just Dina's birthday, but the birthday of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, as well (Jackie was born in 1929). Bob Hope was born on the same date as JFK and died on July 27, at 9:28 pm California time, well into July 28 in London, his birthplace. As Bob Hope was about to die, my wife, our two daughters, and I had gone out to dinner with our friends Danae and Kyriakos and their two daughters. The occasion was Dina's birthday (July 28), our younger daughter Irenie's birthday (July 22), and their older daughter Margarita's birthday (July 27). Margarita was born in London on July 27, the day that London-born Bob Hope died in California. On Tuesday morning, July 29, I read about Hope in the "Houston Chronicle". They had written down the opening verses of Hope's signature song: Thanks for the memory Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine, The Parthenon, and moments on the Hudson River Line. How lovely it was! The lyrics can be found at this link: http://www.teamws.com/annoying.nsf/0/a8de0cb8e8d9b9078525681e0051a7cb?Open Document Goose pimples rose all over my skin after reading the verses: The three places mentioned in the opening verses are solidly linked to me, Dina, and Angel Heidi Klum: *** "Castles on the Rhine": Heidi is from Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, a suburb of Koeln am Rhein, i.e., Cologne on the Rhine. (Of course, the most famous castle on the Rhine is Lorelei's Castle, but that's another story.) When Heidi is in Bergisch Gladbach, she gives her press interviews at Schloss Lerbach, i.e., Castle Lerbach, a castle near the Rhine. *** "The Parthenon": That is one of the most recognizable landmarks of Greece, the fatherland of Dina and me. The Parthenon of Athens was the pre-eminent Temple of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. Heidi portrayed Athena in the centerfold of the 2001 "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue. As I have written on numerous occasions, among all the Goddesses, Heidi is most like Athena, combining beauty and brains. *** "The Hudson River Line": New York City, on the Hudson, is where Heidi has lived since 1993 and where I lived from 1970 to 1975, my first city in America, my American hometown. Later on, from 1981 to 1988, Dina and I used to live in New Jersey, on the other side of the Hudson. Heidi is born on June 1, the same birthday as Marilyn Monroe, JFK's lover. JFK was born on May 29, the same birthday as Bob Hope. Bob Hope's death was announced on July 28, the birthday of JFK's wife, Jackie, and my wife, Dina. JFK was born on May 29, close to the beginning of summer, his wife Jackie was born on July 28, and his girlfriend Marilyn on June 1. I was born on December 25, close to the beginning of winter, my wife Dina was born on July 28, and my cybernetic "girlfriend" Heidi on June 1. Thanks for the memory Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine, The Parthenon, and moments on the Hudson River Line.
