You know, that one "Your pokemons, show them to me"
I always fancied getting that on a fridge magnet.
Do you think Prince has enough of a sense of humour to allow me to make one fridge magnet with his likeness on it?
No, me neither.

Are there any album covers featuring shirtless men that don't seem bizarre now? Chest hair is, like, the one thing from the seventies that's never been revived.

I like the way the Elkie Brooks album seems to be called "Shooting Tar Shooting Star." Should be the next Har Mar Superstar album title.

To answer myself: Raw Power. But yeah, like Isaac Hayes, Ig is free of the man-pelt.
