The band 'Sparks' on Netflix
Just watched a great Rock-u-mentary on the band Sparks. Netflix. It’s called The Sparks Brothers. I had no idea. At one point they played 21 nights in a row, covering a different album of theirs at each successive show. Might be the greatest feat in music history.
How can you go wrong with lyrics like those below:
‘Some might find me borderline attractive from afar’
And from’ The mustache song’- ‘I tried a handlebar design My Fu Manchu was real fine My Ronald Colman made 'em blink My Pancho Villa made 'em think But when I trimmed 'em very small My Jewish friends would never call.’
“I hope it's just your laugh that is infectious”
"I may be ugly as sin, but at least now I'm tan"
"I married myself... I'm very happy together..."
"So, tell me, Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that, how was the play?"

Back in the day, I was mesmerized by their album covers but I never bought any. I saw the Documentary in the Theatre and really enjoyed it. They are characters. They never had the cliche drug or alcohol period but they did have trouble getting their stuff heard for about 10 years or so but persevered. If you haven’t heard them, my favorite song/video is: When Do I Get to Sing "My Way"
