I did a report on Kohoutek in grade school because it was visible in the sky at that time... or so I'm told. I couldn't see it. ;-)

No, I’m too young so that I’ve only seen it in print. Is it Kah-hu-tek or Ka-how-tek, or KOE-ha-tek?

Or how about Halley's Comet, which I thought would put on a spectacular show when it arrived in 1975. Instead, it looked like just another star.

The music it inspired was more interesting than the comet itself.

This was their first album, pre-Steve Perry (a.k.a. Shrieking Vocalist).

Better Kahoutek than Hamner-Brown.
