I'm guessing Arnold could pull it off. <BR/><BR/>I thought Elektra had been called by a muse name another time. Wasn't she Calliope once? At least no one has called her Electrolux. ;)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231744174759800033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-42998644222554149732008-06-11T15:01:00.000-04:002008-06-11T15:01:00.000-04:00Tedster, maybe Larry will hire George for the movi...Tedster, maybe Larry will hire George for the movie he and Arnold are writing.

That intro for the Ronettes by George Hamilton is a classic. He starred in two of my favorite biopics, one about Evil Knievel, the other about Hank Williams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-87769387106933889252008-06-11T14:11:00.000-04:002008-06-11T14:11:00.000-04:00Yep, Kathleen, Daphne was the first to do this, an...Yep, Kathleen, Daphne was the first to do this, and you, dear lady, were of course the first to notice it!Dan Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01603402268945559679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-82612468161962424252008-06-11T11:12:00.000-04:002008-06-11T11:12:00.000-04:00Wow!

But is Daphne the first to name her as an outright Muse, the one who inspires epic poetry, no less? <BR/><BR/>I'd have remembered if anyone had called her "Polyhymnia," yet, let alone, "Erato."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306491903311869968noreply@blogger.com
