The Knickerbockers (only British Invasion band to come close to the Beatles, with their song "Lies")

Unreal, someone else remembers Pearls Before Swine... David Lindley was a regular customer at McCabe's in LA when I worked there... never talked to him, but a great side benefit was that sometimes his daughter would come into the store with Daryl Hannah (dated Jackson Browne at that time, David was Jackson's guitarist)... woohoo... Btw, Jan, didn't PBS do a rather rude tune in Morse code ?
