@DonJuanTijuana: There are a lot of different versions of “Popcorn” that sound 100% the same. Crazy 1970s hit cover mania.

@Jake...thanks man!

@Jake: that's even weirder than there being just one "Popcorn", which is already odd, in a good way.

@JakeGould, Hot Butter had the hit -- the song was originally composed and recorded by Moog pioneer Gershon Kingsley.

Yeah, I grew up on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Parents and family still live there. I hear about it, but haven't experienced it personally.

JakeGould:

There is a connection between S.F. real estate and the Panama Papers. TL;DR, the situation is similar to NYC where a lot of condos and properties are just there for money laundering and are not occupied. Cash deals that are so high they ruin the real estate market for real people who want/need to live there. Same B.S. as tons of NYC condos. www.48hills.org...

How appropriate. The Phillies bullpen has blown their first two games. No Tugs in that lineup.

IFisher:

I cannot help but throw salt in that West Coast housing wound. Recently the President of the SF Federal Reserve Bank made a speech where he basically said, yeah, tough darts about the housing costs, it is a result of the strong economy - totally tone-deaf to the pain it causes for many. Now what really made this speech notable was that Clash song titles and lyrics were woven in to the text. The speech was called "The Right Profile". The mind boggles
  10:17pm
JakeGould:

Now this is schmaltz!
  10:19pm
daveB Oakland:

Wow, Tug and this dischordant ensemble are amazing.

I can't believe this is still happning

The record industry of the 1970s and early 1980s really just had cash to piss away.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Alex of Chicago:

@IFisher It does. I just hope Portland, which lacks a port, avoids it. Because I'd like to move there. That said, the White Sox game finally started in Oakland. Oh, Casey.
  10:29pm
IFisher:

Wimps should write a song about the absurdity of a public official downplaying high housing costs while citing the Clash. I think I'm gonna write to the guy and point out that Strummer was famously a squatter in London

Well - that was a long time ago. Anyhow - my advice to people going to the WestCoast is always - just bring money.

Rev Rabbit, I recall that, at the time could not believe that public officials were standing by and allowing that to happen. Oh god, I'm seeing red!
