Hard to mourn the person who released Muskrat Love into the world.

But what about Love Will Keep us Together? What about his work with the Beach Boys? Not to mention the Bionic damned Watermelon!

I had to look it up to see if it was real. Yes it’s on YouTube.

When I was five, this was the funniest thing I’d ever seen.

(As cheesy as this song is lyrically, I love Dragon’s Moog in this.)

Plus, how awesome of a name is Daryl Dragon?

As far as I’m concerned his work with the Beach Boys (both individually and collaboratively) more than makes up for Muskrat Love.

My mom went to college with Toni Tenille. She signed my mom’s yearbook, praising her chicken salad.

Your mom went to Auburn?

The ageless romance between Susie and Sam must not be denigrated.

Alabama. Roll Tide. Last 2 years of college. First 2 at my alma mater, Newcomb College of Tulane University - back when it really was a women’s college.

Newcomb is known for its pottery, right?

dfaris · January 3, 2019, 9:20pm

Mustn’t it? I mean, really.

ChickieD · January 3, 2019, 10:07pm

Yes. Before my time but it is a thing.

Where people drive SUVs just so they can maximize the size of their A magnets.

It’s true. When I was recently back in Alabama I was surprised how I forgot how deep the Auburn/Alabama rivalry is. I stopped at a Starbucks in some no man’s land at the north of the state and there was a young lady flirting with the barista - starting with the very first question one asks in Alabama - are you an Auburn fan or an Alabama fan? Because they assign that at birth.

Nightmare memories of family gatherings in Birmingham

LearnedCoward · January 4, 2019, 12:21am

It’s like Ohio State / Michigan on steroids.

An Auburn grad in our lab once made zucchini bread with a garlic clove, saying “A clove is the round thing with a lot of smaller pieces, right?”

Dragon breath for a week.

On the other hand, I coat the bulb in oil and roast the everlovin poop out of it. Much milder flavor. I recommend it absolutely.

CleverEmi · January 4, 2019, 2:24am

Mmmmm. Spready.

That’s way better than my mother having attended high school with Morton Downey Jr.

My dad went to school with Burt Bacharach, and I went to school with Moby.
