...before we go there, a word about producer prices. These are the prices of the stuff that manufacturers, processors and other value-adders pass on to retailers. (Retailers then add their own value (stores, sales help, etc.), at which point the Producer Price Index becomes the Consumer Price Index, which measures what we pay for the stuff.) In other words, the PPI is mostly about manufacturing, as well as basic stuff like food and energy - it?s supposed to spot inflation before it hits the stores...
...uptempo and alluring, and so memorable, that it serves as the title for Ertegun?s gigantic memoir book: "What?d I Say." There was nothing revolutionary in the lyric, except its daring to be loose ("Hey, mama, doncha treat me wrong/ Come and love your daddy all night long," etc.).

That is, he might use an apparent ineptness at public relations, combined with grudging revelation of the affair with an intern (tacky, but comparatively...
