I loved it too. That extra scene with the lava-lamp set and 'Children of the Sun' sounded Barry McGuirish enough. (It was from the Folksmen's one badly received electric album.)

Then there was the scene with the press conference - Mitch talks about rap. Said he once heard a Canadian rap station (just guess the call letters) and he rather liked the young folks rapping about politeness, proprietry and conservatism. THAT was probably cut because 'CRAP' and Canadian-ribbing were a bit too obvious.

The name 'Ramblin' Sandy Pitnick' is just a wee bit too close (has all the letters in the right order) to uh...you-know-who.

The name 'Bohner'.

Ed Begley's Swedish character Lars Olfen's yiddish.

'Never Did No Wandrin' sounds a LOT like Billy Ed Wheeler's Coal Tatoo.

'When You're Next to Me' - I wish they'd kept that in. I LIKED that song!
