I'm not that old and not a man and I'm not that grumpy now that the medication has been altered, but I'm stunned that Grease got to No. 1 too.... Little Shop of Horrors is FAR better!

I was always amazed that that the TV/radio version of 'Greased Lightening' cut the line 'you know it ain't no shit, we'll be getting lots of tit' but allowed the lines 'it's a real pussy wagon' and 'the chicks are gonna cream' along with the associated gestures in the video to stay. Makes you wonder just what the criteria for censorship really are.....

And once again this Christmas I failed to see any part of 'The King and I', a musical that I've seen the beginning, middle and end of, but never in one sitting or even in the same year!

Still it was nice to see some of the oldies again.
