TH13: Albums That Were Bought and Sold, Unashamedly Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943) was a world-renowned inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer. He was born an ethnic Serb citizen of the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. Tesla was a brilliant man who spoke a dozen languages including Italian, French, German, English in addition to his own native language. He is best known for his revolutionary work in, and numerous contributions to, the discipline of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th century. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Now all geeks and Boy Scouts can hear his life story in Morse Code. Ummmm. . . . why? Looking at this picture, I�m not sure if the Murk family has had joy or fun or seasons in the sun, but I do know that Mama Murk had fun with Butterick patterns and her sewing machine. I�m surprised that the horse isn�t wearing a matching outfit. If you�re going to face backwards at all your shows, you better have a good audio technician. I wonder, at live gigs, do all the other musicians have to sign a �secrecy� clause? Or do they just wear blindfolds? I don�t think it�s any secret what Michael Cassidy is going to do to that poor little bunny once the photographer goes away. Is Michael�s middle name �Lenny�? Well, this certainly would make the Catholic Mass a bit more lively! Can you just imagine singing �The Lamb of God� to an �oompahpah� rhythm? Party down, and the biergarten will be in the vestibule. If you take a look at those song titles, such as �Moon River� or �Danny Boy�, you�ll see that those songs have about as much rhythm as a 1950�s Catholic virgin on her wedding night. Click here if you want to visit the Reverend�s new posting, the Church of the SubGenius. The two puppets should demand some equal time; after all, they�re already sporting woodies. The full title of this album is: Rouvan Sings Love Songs While Being Blinded by a Police Car Beam in an Onion Field Far Outside the City Limits Where No One Can Hear You Scream. A collection of unpopular songs for unpopular people? What could that include, when even Philip Glass has an audience? The presence of Swamp Dogg would have made the ROUS scene in The Princess Bride a whole lot different: �Rodents of Unusual Size? I don�t believe they exist.� Which came first? The saps who play ukulele on tour or the poor saps who want to see ukulele players on tour? These are the people they don�t let in at the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Just promise me you�ll put some clothes on and give the doll back to your little sister, please!
