Him, Him, Him…
Only very devout Rupert Holmes fans will understand the title of today’s strip. For those that say “Rupert Holmes… why does that name sound familiar?”… well you may recognize a little song called “Pina Colada Song”. On that album, there is a song called “Him”. Check it out on iTunes. It’s available there.
I have to blame my dad for my appreciation of Rupert Holmes though. In fact, I can also say that thanks to my dad’s musical tastes, I discovered an appreciation for The Little River Band and Neil Diamond. Back in the 70’s, my dad had albums of Rupert Holmes’ Pina Colada album, a bunch of Little River Band and, of course, Neil Diamond.
It’s kind of weird how, as kids, we always claim our parents are so uncool or un-hip but yet, we always seem to be influenced by THEIR musical tastes. For example, right now, my teenage daughter LOVES Billy Joel and KISS – two of my favorite artists or bands. So it’ll be interesting to see if those musical interests continue with her as Neil Diamond, The Little River Band and, yes, Rupert Holmes, have stuck with me throughout the years…
Anyway, here is today’s strip. Slowly working on something called a buffer too!
