Yes, thank you, Ron, for standing in Jan's Astrogator flip-flops while she was gallivanting across the golf course. Very fun postings, lots of little hidden gems! Good stuff.
Whether we're looking for a complimentary R word, or a complementary R word, I'm thinking that any of these might work: Rollicking, Remarkable, Rebel (no, wait, wrong side of the war?), Rocking and, yes, of course, Radical. However, my personal fave is: Da Doo Ron Ron ... (So, maybe we should just call him, Bill!)
Da Do Ron Ron lyrics....(had to figure out where the just call him Bill part came in..) sung by The Crystals
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron
Yeah, my heart stood still, yeah, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home, da do ron ron ron, da do
ron ron
I know what he was thinking when he caught my eye
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron
He looked so quiet but, my oh my
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron
Yeah, he caught my eye, yeah but my oh my
And when he walked me home, da do ron ron ron, da do
From Wiki Amazon: One of the defining girl groups of the early 60s, The Crystals whose members came from different sections of Brooklyn were the link between the simpler doo-wop harmonies of the 50s and the sophisticated look and sound of pop divas like the Supremes. They are the group that are credited with first putting the Philles label on the pop map.
Fifty years ago, legendary producer Phil Spector established his own record label Philles, and a new sound began to ring out of radio speakers across America. The sound Spector created lush, resonant, and dramatic, blending the sentimental swoon of string sections with the excitement of rock and roll was so different, so instantly recognizable, it earned its own name: The Wall of Sound. Through the 1960s, with songs like Be My Baby, Then He Kissed Me, Walking in the Rain, and Da Doo Ron Ron, he ruled the pop charts and made artists like Darlene Love, The Crystals and The Ronettes household names.
