Class 5

Didn't one of our favorite sci-fi free jazz players, Sun Ra, own one of the first Moog synthesizers? I believe he recorded a 19-minute Moog solo for the song "No. 1". But more than the moog keyboard synthesizers, I have always be a fan of its precursor, also developed by the late Dr. Moog: the theremin. Originally built with a keyboard, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys removed the keyboard to produce the soaring psychedelic counterpoint on "Good Vibrations" (1966). That, my friend, is my favorite recording based on Dr. Moog's creation (albeit a slightly different creation of his).

But all this means very, very little. Holly. I have big news. That's right, Wade Boggs has scored an endorsement deal!



You'll notice that Wade Boggs once suffered from the tragic affliction known to the scientific world as "CLASS 5: TOP OF SCALP & CROWN BALDING". But no more. As you might suppose, I'll sleep a lot better tonight knowing that the next Wade Boggs sex scandal is right around the corner--thanks to the good folks who have put an appropriately hairy Boggs back on the prowl.
