Monty by Jim Meddick for June 25, 2024

With Alice Cooper conducting. While just nibbling on a bat’s head.

The sippy cup is a nice touch…

Golden Oldies time.

Alice had a song ‘Department of Youth’ about rotten, rebellious kids.

At the end of the song, the chorus of young voices calls out for a leader to guide them on their mission of wanton destruction.

Donny Osmond?!?

The London Symphony Orchestra did do versions of Jethro Tull, and Ian Anderson has performed with orchestras.

Creepy little garbanzo bean. He should play Pomp and Circumstance.

46 years ago, I received credit (at nearly the last possible moment) for the only incomplete I received in my time as an Ivy undergrad. I’d gone through a lot to get there, but I was done!

I had prepared a two-hour reel-to-reel tape looping “School’s Out” (the original) … I headed home, grabbed a six-pack, started the tape, and went to the front porch of the student co-op where I lived.

It was a beautiful day, and we had speakers wired on the porch. I wasn’t the only one celebrating. Congratulations to all of this year’s grads!

Doesn’t this mean that the “Boys Will Be Back in Town – Again?

Jarvis is probably more familiar with “It’s the Little Things”. ☺

♪♫ "It’s the little things.

It’s just the little things.

Aw, it’s the little things.

It’s just the little things.

Yeah it’s the little things,

that drive me wild…" ♪♫

A couple of choices for Windsor Academies in New Jersey.

Welcome to Jarvis’ nightmare.

The music for the opening riff for School’s Out is engraved on Glen Buxton’s tombstone.

“Someone ordered the London Symphony Orchestra! Possibly while high! Cypress Hill, I’m looking in your direction!” Anyone else remember this Simpsons episode? I understand they actually performed together recently.

We are not worthy.

Oh, yeah. I think I heard that in an elevator. :)

I’d actually enjoy listening to that!

That was our yearly tradition as well. Creepy kid’s got taste! :)

I was a freshman in college just turning 18 that fall when Alice Cooper’s “I’m Eighteen” was getting heavy radio air play, and I liked it.

Wait … don’t I remember hearing that in the 1970s on an “elevator music” radio station?
