Wayne, love this article! Especially when you ordered the Japanese vodka, because it reminds me of the time in the mid 70s, my Aquarian-writing friend and I went to Max's Kansas City (Upstairs) to watch Television with the likes of Todd Rundgren. And what drink did I order, you might ask? Not knowing much about liquor I (of course) ordered a pernod, since it was a lyric in a Lou Reed song. Thinking about it now makes me quite embarrassed, especially since I have become quite a connoisseur of tequila and bourbon. And, just to let you know, "Turning Japanese" was a featured song at my wedding in '81! Thanks for stirring up some fun old memories, Wayne. All the best, Jen Lauri
