In Retrospect....

Perhaps I should have explained NICK LOWE'S underwear when I posted it. 

In 1986 (yes, 22 years ago), just before Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello played at Duke on the "Wheel of Fortune" tour, a friend dared me to write Nick a letter. I had been smitten with the excellent song stylings of Mr. Lowe for some time AND I'm a sucker for a dare, I guess.

The gist of it was that I would invite him to meet us for dinner before the show, oh, and by the way, if he couldn't make it to just send me his underwear, since that's all most of us want from our rock stars, anyway.

A short time before the concert....I got the underwear.

You have received a blog award from me! Come by and get it! If you want to bother. It gets kinda crazy these awards. They take forever kind of like chain letters.
