Digression thread: Coherence is overrated

And that Tower is amazing - 2nd tallest structure in the world. I remember being impressed by the "old" Tokyo Tower back in the 70's.

Heard on KNTU last evening:

"That was... Dexter Gordon's "Cheese Cake." Dexter Gordon on tenor sax, S... [brief pause] "SONY" Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy "HIDGENS" on drums." (emphasis mine)

I no longer wonder how we ended up with the ClearChannels and IHeartRadios....
