...shooting the sheriff (in self-defence, of course), to the dog days and pseudo-gospel of There's One In Every Crowd and thence to Shangri-La. Which (surprise, surprise) turns out to be a recording studio just raring to press this most recent rocking/R & B-ing/reggae-ing/reneging-on-his-followers onto vinyl...
...Rolling Stone's History of R&R--top of my list to Santa this year--there's a story about the preacher who went out and burnt $2000 worth of records aided by obnoxious little troglodytes from his youth group. Those vinyl grooves promoted lasciviousness and good stuff like that--and so he saw to it that they died, melting together in passionate flames only cooler than the brimstone their seducees have in store for them.

...Hustle or the Muscle? Ol' Deejay had a ditty for every kitty and her boogying big daddy as well. One reason for the rise of the deejay was that he came much cheaper than the rock and rhythm-and-blues bands. Today there are so many deejays spinning vinyl that discotheque owners, to attract audiences, are starting to turn to the novelty of live groups.
