saw that “Lemon Tree” show just last night, didn’t ring true, thought it to be writers trying to be a little too clever.

That Green Day song now shows up at every graduation and it’s completely misunderstood, like Christians embracing “Spirit in the Sky,” in actuality a song by a Jew mocking Christianity.

And didn’t Joey Scarbury sound a lot like Glen Campbell?

Oh, you mean wich-ay woman….

Also in the first season, George & Jerry are trying to come up with a code word in case George gets caught switching answering machine tapes. They settle on Lemon Tree which Jerry immediately questions. And then they begin to sing a few bars of the Trini Lopez hit, completely and gloriously out of date. A joke lost in 1990, let alone any year following it.

Comment on Chart 5: Further Away by Steve E.

I agree with Porky; the music of this period has been unjustly put down. And my first ever single, “Puff (The Magic Dragon),” is on this chart. I was 5, so it’s humbling to realize that my earliest memories are now 50 years old. I started kindergarten in fall 1963.

I don’t know, I look at that chart and it blows to bits the “rock and roll was dead between Buddy Holly’s crash and the Beatles’ appearance on Ed Sullivan” theory.

“he liked to recite obscene limericks in the same tone he used on TV every night.”

I would pay for a CD of that.
