Is on NPR's fresh air this week. Today they talk about songs:
"MacArthur Park," "Stairway to Heaven" and "Dream On."

Yesterday one of my favorite cinema people Ray Harryhausen was on , talking about the skeletons in "Jason and the Argonauts" and the Medusa from "Clash of the Titans!"

Of course, Jimmy Webb, who penned "MacArthur Park," has been on Fresh Air before, they'll probably replay some of his interview.

Harryhausen was a big part of my childhood.
Have you seen the big coffee table book that came out recently?

Well, Paul;

I listened to it this afternoon, but didn't find it overtly eye-epening (some of the Robert Plant stuff was kinda funny tho . . :-)

Tomorrow is John Barry who scored like eleven of the Bond flicks . . . . that should be interesting.

Come on, the William Shatner segment was the best part. Did he play an Ovation?
