Quinn was *awful* at the opening ceremony. I can't count the number of times I yelled 'shut UP, you moron!...'
If he'd've actually opened his (publicly paid-for) programme, rather than keeping it sealed for sports memorabilia purposes, he might not've been quite so ignorant.

...how much Leni Riefenstahl would have loved it.
Which reminds me, I caught about an hour and a half of the '36 Berlin Olympics on Triangle last night (100% 1936 footage, cut & English audio-tracked c. 1960, by the look of it.) First time I've seen Lovelock's entire 1500m race win. For the record, he was in third for most of the race, but powered out to a 5 metre lead at the start of the penultimate straight (ie about the 1200m mark.)

I'm not sure about that sarcasm tag. It looks like an upside-down vagina to me.

... an Alastair Cooke documentary I'd downloaded...
Are you talking about __The Unseen Alistair Cooke__ ?

I just can’t get past thinking it’s all platitudes.
It's not all platitudes. Obama's July 15 Foreign Policy speech. (36 min.) His most important speech so far, that I've seen.

I wouldn't be surprised if Reed's objection is that Doug Yule's Lou impersonation is so good. DY sang lead vox on 4 out of 10 Loaded tracks, and even if you know the album well, it's fairly hard to tell which ones without checking. I didn't notice for years.

Speaking of which, can anybody point me to a digital copy of Squeeze?
Heh. I was going to ask that too. There's a pretty bad copy floating around, cobbled together from 2 or 3 different rips. The album - judged on its own merits, rather than as a Velvets album - is actually not bad.

Moe Tucker has always been a favourite of mine.
I actually quite like Billy Yule (__Live at Max's Kansas City__, plus Oh, Sweet Nuthin' and Lonesome Cowboy Bill on Loaded).

Well done!
