re: Breakfast in America by Supertramp

My first Supertramp cassette tape was Paris (1980), which was a live album that rarely left my Walkman, and it gave me a wonderful sample of music spanning their discography, including Breakfast. I then delved into their albums, even the very difficult to find Indelibly Stamped which is not on Spotify and good luck finding that album cover anymore due to frontal female nudity.

I eventually purchased a sheet music book of Paris and learned to play some songs, so Supertramp is one of my cult favorites.

Funny that you should bring this up because I've rediscovered and have played the album Crime of the Century a couple of times this past week.

Was at Alpine Valley, the venue of his final show. The helicopter never made it to Chicago.

and TFTC, if you like The Jesus Lizard then you may have heard of Cows? I got to see them twice. Love their album Whorn.

Not a fan of that song at all. It's one that we were forced to listen to on the radio, awkward to sing along with, and not danceable.

People think the concept of the song is so clever but it's basically been done before in Ball of Confusion.

I've never tried it but it's been recommended to me.

Which flavor should I pick up first?

re: More Mexican restaurants are charging for chips and salsa. That’s a good thing.

the practice may be increasing as the restaurant industry struggles because many diners are choosing to eat at home due to high gas and food prices. This has caused some sticker shock.

If it's known that diners are choosing to stay home because of restaurant prices, why would charging for a former free item help the cause at all? Heck, I'd fry up chips all day for people who would purchase a $50 pitcher of margaritas.
