...That's not to say there weren't some great moments. The musicality and lyrics of "Requiem For A Mouse" were superb and moving live, and near the end of the set the energy picked up somewhat, through such things as the trumpet flourishes on "Hello Little One," a definite lively plus. The side comments from the band on the pleasant-smelling popcorn (and the subsequent audience member who bestowed the band with a tub) and the intra-band bantering were also amusing. However, Luna's set was underwhelming, either because of the too-hip-to-be-wild atmosphere...

Freberg pitched Meadowgold milk in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan, hawked Pittsburgh paints with a takeoff on Moby Dick, and decked out Ann Miller with a Busby Berkeley chorus line to trumpet Heinz's Great American Soups. He produced radio ads for the McGovern-Hatfield amendment to end the Vietnam War and, perhaps even gutsier, persuaded Pacific Airlines to let him do a series of ads poking fun at how people are afraid...
