Your Friday Disco: The underappreciated King/Goffen classic I Can't Hear You, performed by Helen Reddy. There's also a fabulous Dusty version.
Wiki link of the day: Maria Rasputin. Imagine living in Los Angeles in the 1970s and discovering that the octogenarian lady living next door is a former cabaret dancer, lion tamer, shipyard riveter and 'psychic', and the daughter of Rasputin. She's officially the most fascinating female relative of a more famous male since I discovered Dotty Wilde, profligate lesbian ambulance driver, heroin addict and Parisienne bon viveur. They should have had a team up. Rasputin and Wilde: 20th Century Ladies at Large. (Hrm. That actually has potential. I could definitely win a Booker with that.)
