[Mike Connell ] MM: Re: 30 years ago tonight, a baaaaad boy was I.... ["Don Henn" Subject: MM: 30 years ago tonight, a baaaaad boy was I.... This was in my local newspaper 30 years ago tomorrow... There are a few non-facts in it...will explain later.... The article: Glassy Dash: a shattering experience A lone naked man, one of a dying breed of streakers, startled persons inside a Broome County ice cream stand last night when he ran in and plunged headlong through a plate glass door. Sheriffs' deputies reported that at about 8:40pm an unclad man dashed into the Dairy Queen 1326 Upper Front Street and ran, inadvertantly, through a locked plate glass door. He shattered the door as he came through it, but was apparently unhurt. Deputies said he jumped into a waiting car, and sped off. Paul Donnolo, manager of the stand, said the streaker, who was in his early 20's, later called the Dairy Queen and offered to pay for the damages. He did not identify himself. Donnolo estimated the damage at $120. The 15 or 20 customers went on licking their ice cream, deputies said. End of article. The non-facts are: 1) I was not in my early 20's, I was 18 2) The caller did identify himself, I told him my name. 3) The door was not locked, I just missed the handle (a dovetail, not a bar handle) and just, well, went through the glass. Just thought I'd share. :-) ...and a lot of you thought I was just a completely bland list-owner ;-) Mike :-) P.S. It's the absolute truth. I even wrote a short story about the whole evening and submitted it to Reader's Digest (who shot it down for "not the kind of material we like to portray to our readers"), a lot of surprising events unfolded that evening....if I find it I'll type it up and make it available at a website near you. It will answer whatever questions you may have (like, "Mike, is this why you do not have any kids?" ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 23:32:19 -0400 From: "Don Henn" Subject: MM: Brilliance MMers , In further testament to the brilliance of record execs , I read a short bio of Anita Baker in a promo for her appearance at the Chev Amp around the same time as Patty. When her label was taken over by Arista , they let her go , with an exec telling her she just couldn't sing. When I heard some of the over-produced music on Silver Bell , I had a vision of one of the label biggies patting Patty on the head , & saying "You have a nice voice honey , but we're the experts. Just do it our way". (Nice painting , Vincent , but try to redo it without all those swirls , they make me dizzy : ) Don ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2003 23:39:38 -0400 From: "Don Henn" Subject: MM: Re: 30 years ago tonight, a baaaaad boy was I....
