1. Jake: Car's got a lot of pickup.

Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

6. That's it, and it was prominently played at the beginning when Jake gets out of prison.

Big plum for Taj Mahal…..and co-writing it with Yank "elder statesman of the blues," Rachell was another plum.

Thanks!

9. misheard lyrics -- they're so funny

She caught Potato and left me a mule to ride
She caught Potato and left me a mule to ride
Yeah, my baby caught Potatoes, left me a mule to ride

i have four or five little books by gavin edwards (with little drawings) and they're so fun to read:
"he's got the whole world in his pants" (in his hands)
"scuse me while i kiss this guy" (kiss the sky)
"when a man loves a walnut" (woman)

they were from the 1990s and are all, sadly, out of print

a library might be able to order them for you to read tho.

10. John Fogerty's 'There's a bathroom on the right' made Gavin Edward's The Mondegreen Hall of Fame

Mondegreen - Learned a new word today!

I misheard the lyrics on a cassette before Bad Moon Rising even got radio airplay. John Fogerty had fun by inserting the bathroom lyrics in concerts, and his fans loved it.
