How could he have passed on the opportunity to call it Out of Wedlock?

there is a signed copy of The Oldest Swinger in Town LP here, am I reading it wrong or does it say 'To Margaret - I'm fun Fred Wedlock'

I was looking at Tony Capstick's wiki page last week and was stuck by this photo of a memorial to him in Swinton

I'd been looking up covers of songs from Bright Phoebus, he does a version of Red Wine and Promises on this record:

"That faith was repaid when the next album, You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish, hit the Top 30 in 1978. Who the hell came up with that title?"

KEVIN CRONIN- I’ll take the credit [laughs]. We were at a party in our hometown, Champaign, Illinois. There were all kinds of nefarious activities going on. And when I woke up the next day, somehow that phrase – You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish – was in my mind. No one is sure who uttered the phrase first, but I was the guy that said: “That’s a pretty cool title for the album.” Everybody thought I was crazy. But Joe Walsh had called his record The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get. So the stage was set for wacky album titles.

Loving this recent burst of no-name pub acts who had their own album to do.

I love how so many of these album covers seemed to have been the result of this conversation:

The Artist:"Man taking that album cover picture today! You think I should get dressed up?"

The Manager: "Nah, you look fine"

A: "Take a shower?"

M: "C'mon time is money! Oh, that should be the name of the record!"

that is a wonderful album title

the fact that .38 Special used Tour de Force as the title of a studio album was a waste of a pun

Ron's new cobbled-together memoir/diary thing is surely crying out to be called "I've Got My Own Book to Do":
