There's a hidden, unknown oral sex verse to "Miracles." There goes my Balin-earnestness theory. He's a cheeky one ain't he!o.m.g. I'm laughing out loud. As much fun as I've had at jasonhare.com over the last few...year. I think.. ANYway, this is the first exchange where I've actually laughed out loud at you people. Now, in case anyone didn't follow the link over to jefitoblog's -- I'd like to remind you all that Marty Balin claims, while he's the only band member who didn't actually sleep with her, he made love to Grace every night on stage, when he sang with the Jefferson Biplane. That is some kinda mellow goldness, if I've ever heard it.Now. I came here for something else! I have great news!!Set your TIVOs for tomorrow, noon pacific, on VH-1. I just watched this great two-hour compilation snarkshow about the most Softarrific Softastic Soft Rock something or other. I caught it on VH1 Classics, but it's on regular VH-1 tomorrow. Here's the thing. They <i>appear</i> to be putting forth a claim on the Mellow Gold fun we've been having, but they stick to the "soft rock" moniker. So, while it's not true Mellowness ready to hit your telly, it's a great show to obtain some rockin' footage. And I mean, seriously, Michael McDonald twice.. playing piano for Kenny singing "This is It," and for a... well, it's a BIG song! One you all know and love! (I can't believe it wasn't #1.) Anyway, don't miss it. My grid says it will air exactly one more time, tomorrow at 3 eastern. Look for some chillin' Rupert Holmes, Mangione, ON-J.. the list goes on. It was great, I loved it. You will, too. LOL!!! There’s a hidden, unknown oral sex verse to “Miracles.” There goes my Balin-earnestness theory. He’s a cheeky one ain’t he!
