My doctor refused to write me a prescription for Viagra. He said it would be like putting a new flagpole on a condemned building"

Recently saw 92 year old Les Paul performing at the Iridium in NYC. He used that line and cracked me up!

Don Brewer was the drummer, Mel Schacher played bass, and Mark Farner played guitar. In 1972, with the Phoenix album, they added Craig Frost on keyboards.

I have a complete set of GFRR on CD's.

They were yellow cones you stood on and held on to with green plastic handles and you would stomp around sounding like a horse. I'll look for a picture. South Park had an episode with them.

I'm at a loss. Who is she, where is she from? (What's her phone number?)

OHhhhh, I know what they are now. I didnt realize thats what they were called. My mother called them "the toy from hell, that was created to cause parents to want to beat their children". She was so sensitive.
