Night Writer on his trip back through time...
...via the "movie" Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, starring the Gee Gees and ..Peter Frampton?
Read the whole thing. But this bit caught me up short:
I was just about to turn the tv off when the camera started panning the pre-"We Are the World" assembly, challenging my ability to recognize these people from nearly 30 years ago. OMG, is that Johnny Winter? What's he doing in this abomination? Rick Derringer and Nils Lofgren [Whaaaa? - Ed.] — what, did the producers have photos of you with teen-age girls? Wasn't that Jackson Browne, or only Keith Carradine? Hey, there's that other guy with my name, and Hank Williams, Jr! Bowser from Sha-Na-Na? They must have been offering free food at the recording session and he walked in. Whoa, there's Heart from back when they were still good-looking, and a low-miles Bonnie Raitt! Leif Garret, go back to your room NOW, young man. They even had Dr. John and Robert Palmer in there, no doubt to ensure that no matter how stupid the filming was, the cast party was smoking.Nils Lofgren?
Yep.
Say it ain't so, Nils...
