On Themes

All right, kiddoes.

We’ve left Simon’s review up here for a few weeks, just so you don’t miss a chance to buy Unholy Town. The rest is up to you. But before we move on, plan on seeing Simon play this coming Labor Day, Monday, September 5 at 7:30, at the Double Door in Chicago. Your Pal Foz will be there in his not-on-the-bill costume while Your Other Pal, Leon “Cuttlefish” Strokes, will be playing bass.

Love is All Around, my friends, and last night at Cole’s FtH celebrated that by inserting part of Paul Williams’ great theme song to The Mary Tyler Moore show into our Coles’ Theme, theme music. It was quite a theme. We will do more of that kind of stuff in the future, maybe. It depends on if we still think it’s a good idea sober.

What would definitely be a good idea would be catching the next four FtH shows at Cole’s during September. They will be the best shows ever, for reasons that will be made clear hereafter.

Until then think about this: Last night Coleman Brice posed this question to me (as best I can remember it), “If Cole’s Theme is the possessive for the theme song for his bar, then if it is also HIS theme, do we call it Cole’s Cole’s Theme?”

Whoa.
