Memories of El Monte

2009-04-02T09:43:00.003+01:00

I'm all alone
Feeling so blue
Thinking about you
And the love we once knew
And each time I do
It brings back those memories
Of El Monte

Remember the dance
I held you so tight
The Satins were singing
In the still of the night
You gave me your heart
And your love undying
Now I'm alone . . .
I'm sitting here crying

If only they have
Those dances again
I'd know where to find you
And all my old friends
The Shields would sing . . ."You cheated. You lied . . ."
And the Heartbeats . . ."You're a thousand miles away . . ."
And the Medallions with "The Letter" and . . ."Sweet words of his mortality . . ."
Marvin and Johnny with . . ."Cherry Pie . . ."
And then, Tony Allen with . . ."Night owl . . ."
And I, Cleve Duncan, along with the Penguins will sing . . .
"Earth Angel Earth Angel Will you be mine?"
At El Monte

If I could go back
To those days of the past
I'd show you a love . . .
A love that would last
Oh, I remember
Those wonderful dances
In El Monte
In El Monte
"Earth angel Earth Angel Will you be mine?"
At El Monte

you will be missed Auntie Pauline (aka Sexy Knickers)

TIME - The Musical by Dave Clark opened on April 9th, 1986 in the Dominion Theatre in London's West End.

The original cast boast Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Cliff Richard.

The concept album (vinyl LP and cassette) was released in 1986.
Including performances by-
Sir Cliff Richard
Freddie Mercury
Dionne Warwick
Stevie Wonder
Julian Lennon
Leo Sayer
Sir Laurence Olivier
John Christie

Time tells the story of the Rock Star named Chris Wilder, Cliff Richard, (later by David Cassidy) who has been transported, with backup singers Louise, Babs and Carol, from his concert on Earth to the High Court of the Universe.
There they face three other-worldly judges to defend the Earth in the case of the Time Lord vs. the people of the planet Earth.
From the programme: "...Now that man is venturing to the stars and has already walked on the Moon, 'Melchisedic', The Time Lord, has decided that the time has come to examine the Earth's people to determine whether they shall be an asset or a threat to Universal peace.”
Wilder convinces the judges that the Earth is worth sparing and he is transported back to his concert at the same time that he left. (Unbelievable, you say? It gets better.) Laurence Olivier portrayed a holographic floating head named Akash (his role was filmed) who is a pseudo-narrator throughout the show.

Border Radio and The Goat Gland Doctor: The Story of John R. Brinkley

2007-11-19T09:46:00.000+01:00

by Joe Schwarcz, Ph.D.

The remarkable events I'm going to chronicle here would likely never have unfolded, in 1917, if young Dr. John Brinkley had not been hired as house doctor at the Swift meatpacking company, located in Kansas. He was dazzled by the vigorous mating activities of the goats destined for the slaughterhouse. A couple of years later, after Brinkley had gone into private practice in Milford, Kansas, a farmer named Stittsworth came to see him. Stittsworth complained of a sagging libido. Recalling the goats' frantic antics, the doctor semi-jokingly told his patient that what he needed was some goat glands. Stittsworth quickly responded, "So, Doc, put 'em in. Transplant 'em."

Today on NPR was a story that talked about Dr. John C. Lily's work on communication with dolphins and the story ended with a comment that the experiment with Margaret Howe and Peter the Dolphin ended in some controversy, and the guy in the interview Daniel H. Wilson said you really don't want to know what it was, Well I did want to know so I did some Google searches and learned some things that were never spoke of in my high school science class, sometimes when you you get to know a dolphin he or she might want to have sex with the new human friend. So If you every get picked up on the beach by a cute Dolphin Here is what you do. I don't think I will ever be able to watch Flipper again and not wonder about Sandy.
