the rix mix

Every Christmas, Gina gives me a small Asbury Park memento for my Boardwalk Shrine.  This year, she said, "Nothing says Merry Christmas like a tragic cruise ship fire."

Alright, let's make this clear: I can't stand Bruce Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" & am not crazy about the original Phil Spector version with The Crystals. I love Darlene Love's annual appearance on Letterman, performing "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)." Every year they figure out a new way to get the sax player on stage for the mid-song break.
