Moreover. Eggs were already kinda sorta well-known for their oddball instrumentation--live, and on their previous records, Rob Christiansen some-times plays bass, and sometimes instead plays trombone. But that's nothing compared to the "Day in the Life" style piling up of styles and timbres on this album: a smoothly anachronistic analog synth (could it be a Mellotron?) pops up in several songs, and so effectively each time that by the end of the 66-minute Exploder opus you'll probably have moved from wondering how anyone could use a Mellotron sound on a rock record...
...sometimes I would miss 10 out of 10." Gillette sent down former Boston Celtics star Dave Cowens to give him pointers. "Dave says I shoot like a pipe fitter. And I do," Bobby concedes with a laugh. "At 45 years old, when you're learning to shoot, you feel sorta awkward." Bobby learned to push the ball off with one hand instead of throwing it with two. And, with Cowens' help, he did improve his average to almost...
...what's the value in a stretched sketch about two heavy-metal heads -- Wayne (Mike Myers) and his sidekick, Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) -- who do a cheap cable-TV show from Wayne's basement?

It's sorta a poetry of restlessness, of loss, of foreboding. Only the characters don't know it, 'cause they're just stringin' words t'gether, fast as they can. Sorta like Jack Kerouac, drivin' thru Colorado like a prophet, n' sayin' t' himself, "Wow!" Sorta like what you'd say if you subconsciously knew someone was gonna sneak up behind you and dump a bucket of shit on your...
...little crazy," says Roger Mullen, 17, of Ventura, Calif. Law officers get heated up over potential noise, traffic, safety and property violations. Explains Mark Wynn, 12, who skates in Atlanta: "Cops always think you're tearing up places, and they're wrong . . . well, sorta." Police policy about skaters seems to have only one common denominator: chase 'em. In Chicago, authorities tell skaters to get off the sidewalk, while others tell them to get out of traffic...
