Thanks to this web site, I have acquired an interesting batch of regular emailers. I have people who know where to find the Bay City Rollers television show, people who have met Ryan Roxie, people who send periodic Chubby Checker updates. I even have a friendly reader who wrote to say that he and his wife were taking a weekend trip to New York, and did I want anything. The generosity! The kindness! (The fact that we originally got off on the wrong foot because I got miffed when I received email addressed to Mr. DragonAttack! I'm a Ms! Miss! Whatever! But I digress!)
I requested Mr. Bruce Dickinson.
I didn't get Mr. Bruce Dickinson, but it's the thought that counts.
And then there is Miss Megala. Not that I would ever play favorites with my regular emailers, but she is a total teenaged badass, and if she is not the most popular person in her entire town there is something horribly wrong with her town. I could be biased because she is a Queen fan who frequently gets into fights with a classmate about Freddie Mercury. I would have hoped that things had changed in the twelve years since that happened to me in chemistry class, but apparently bungholes still run rampant.
Anyway, I can count on Miss Megala for random Queen news, or excellent discussions about where to buy pants that look like the ones Roger Taylor wore on the 1986 tour. But little did I know that she could also solve mysteries. The day I posted my Paradise By The Dashboard Light debate, this arrived.
I have the sheet music for "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" (which I'd like to add is next to impossible to play on piano.)
It's a duet. Trust me, it is.
-Megala
If I can't trust a teenaged girl who loves Roger Taylor and actually owns sheet music for a Meat Loaf song, who can I trust? As far as I am concerned, the mystery of Paradise By The Dashboard Light is solved. Case closed.
