    Camarillo Brillo - Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention

    Lyrics:

    She had that Camarillo Brillo

    Flamin’ out along her head

    I mean her Mendocino Bean-o

    By where some bugs had made it red

    Relaxin' at Camarillo — Charlie Parker

  2. When I was in Jr. High School, I was on the basketball team and in the band. 

    The band was going to play at a basketball game, and I had to make a decision. I quit the basketball team, and that was the last team sport I ever played. But I got first sax in the all-state band every year that I was eligible to compete.

    Growing up in Florida, I did a lot of skin and scuba diving. I was measured diving 65 feet deep without an air tank. I don't know if could do that now, I haven't been diving in decades, because I hate to see the damage the warm water has done to the reefs.

    But I never did underwater basket weaving, either as a sport or a hobby.

  3. I'm not a sports fan, but to me, sports are contests that are easily judged with a point/score or similar system.

    It's obvious who wins a football, basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball or other contest. 

    But when you get to things like ice dancing, break dancing, and other events that are judged on artistic merits, IMO they are no longer sports, and shouldn't be contests. Why? There is never, or seldom, a clear winner. It's up to artistic interpretation.

    It would be like going to a jam session, having everyone play a solo in the same song, and then decide who won.

    But then, I'm not a sports consumer, so they aren't pitching their products towards me.

    But for those who watch it, and those who participate in it, it's good, clean fun. It's just not for me and probably a few others.
