I’m not sure if Shem Kenny Loggins’ bass player and former music director is still playing with Ambrosia since he’s taking an odd turn as an opera singer. He does a great version on the Highlights from the Galaxy concert of the Ambrosia song.

[...] There are many fine tributes to Vonnegut on the web today—my favorite ones are by Andrew Leonard at Salon and Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon—so I needn’t pay much tribute myself. Instead, I’d like to write about Vonnegut’s intersections with popular music. First, the one that he’s got nothing to do with: Baz Luhrmann’s 1999 hit “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen,” purportedly taken from a commencement address Vonnegut gave at MIT in 1997. It isn’t, and the legend is debunked by the inestimable crew at Snopes here. Second, his actual songwriting credit: Ambrosia’s “Nice, Nice, Very Nice,” featuring a lyric reworked from Vonnegut’s novel Cat’s Cradle. It appeared on the band’s 1975 debut album, and got a good deal of FM airplay at the time. And it stands today as evidence that Ambrosia had one of the more eclectic careers you could name. Can you name anybody else who’s recorded both a forgotten prog-rock classic and some Mellow Gold? [...]

Yeah, that’s my favorite McD pic as well. I plan on using it as much as possible.

I’m still digging the shot of McD in the tux. From now on, all refernces to him should include "three time Grammy Award winner" as his salutation. I’m trying to figure out how to make the registered trademark symbol for the Grammy word. That should be on there, too!
