Kaye s show lasted one season but Arden s display of comic talent and timing set the stage for her to be cast in her best known role Madison High School English teacher Connie Brooks in Our Miss Brooks Arden portrayed the character on radio from 1948 to 1957 in a television version of the program from 1952 to 1956 and in a 1956 feature film Arden s character clashed with the school s principal Osgood Conklin played by Gale Gordon and nursed an unrequited crush on fellow teacher Philip Boynton played originally by future film star Jeff Chandler and later on radio then on television by Robert Rockwell Except for Chandler the entire radio cast of Arden Gordon Richard Crenna Walter Denton Robert Rockwell Mr Philip Boynton Gloria McMillan Harriet Conklin and Jane Morgan landlady Margaret Davis played the same roles on television

Arden s portrayal of the character was so popular that she was made an honorary member of the National Education Association received a 1952 award from the Teachers College of Connecticut s Alumni Association for humanizing the American teacher and even received teaching job offers Her wisecracking deadpan attitude as the character ultimately became her public persona as a commedienne as well

She won a listeners poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948 1949 receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March I m certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you ve bestowed upon me because I understand that if I win this award two years in a row I get to keep Mr Boynton she joked But she was also a hit with the critics a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year s best radio comedienne

Arden had a very brief guest appearance in a 1955 I Love Lucy episode entitled LA at Last in which she played herself While awaiting their food at The Brown Derby Lucy Ricardo Lucille Ball and Ethel Mertz Vivian Vance argue over whether a certain portrait on a nearby wall is Shelley Winters or Judy Holliday Lucy urges Ethel to ask a lady occupying the next booth who turns and replies Neither That s Eve Arden Ethel suddenly realizes she was just talking to Arden herself who soon passes Lucy and Ethel s table to leave the restaurant while the pair gawk

Desilu Productions jointly owned by Desi Arnaz and Ball during their marriage was the production company for the Our Miss Brooks television show which filmed during the same years as I Love Lucy Ball and Arden became acquainted when they costarred together in the film Stage Door in 1937 Ball according to numerous radio historians suggested Arden for Our Miss Brooks after Shirley Booth auditioned for but failed to land the role and Ball committed at the time to My Favorite Husband could not

Arden tried another series in the fall of 1957 The Eve Arden Show but it was canceled in spring of 1958 after 26 episodes In 1966 Arden played Nurse Kelton in an episode of Bewitched She later costarred with Kaye Ballard as her neighbor and in law Eve Hubbard in the 1967 69 situation comedy The Mothers in Law which was produced by Arnaz after the dissolution of Desilu Productions In her later career Arden made appearances on such television shows as Bewitched Alice Maude Hart to Hart and Falcon Crest In 1985 she appeared as the wicked stepmother in the Faerie Tale Theatre production of Cinderella

Arden was one of many actresses to take on the title roles in Hello Dolly and Auntie Mame in the 1960s in 1967 she won the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in Chicago theatre Arden was cast in 1983 as the leading lady in what was to be her Broadway comeback in Moose Murders but she wisely withdrew and was replaced with the much younger Holland Taylor after one preview performance citing artistic differences The show went on to open and close on the same night becoming known as one of the most legendary flops in Broadway history

Arden published an autobiography The Three Phases of Eve in 1985 In addition to her Academy Award nomination Arden has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Radio and Television see List of stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for addresses She was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1995

Arden was married to Ned Bergen from 1939 1947 and to actor Brooks West from 1952 until his death in 1984 from a heart ailment aged 67 She and West had four children all but the youngest were adopted All four survived their parents

On November 12 1990 Arden died from cardiac arrest and heart disease aged 82 at her home according to her death certificate Some sources including her manager Glenn Rose said she had also been battling cancer However cancer is not mentioned in her death certificate She is interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery Westwood Los Angeles California

Crux krks is a constellation located in the southern sky in a bright portion of the Milky Way It is among the most easily distinguished constellations as all of its four main stars have an apparent visual magnitude above 28 even though it is the smallest of all 88 modern constellations Its name is Latin for cross and it is dominated by a crossshaped or kite like asterism that is commonly known as the Southern Cross

Predominating is the first magnitude blue white star of Alpha Crucis or Acrux being the constellation s brightest and most southerly member Crux is followed by four dominate stars descending in clockwise order by magnitude Beta Gamma one of the closest red giants to Earth Delta and Epsilon Crucis Many of these brighter stars are members of the Scorpius Centaurus Association a large but loose group of hot blue white stars that appear to share common origins and motion across the southern Milky Way The constellation contains four Cepheid variables that are each visible to the naked eye under optimum conditions Crux also contains the bright and colourful open cluster known as the Jewel Box NGC 4755 and to the southwest partly includes the extensive dark nebula known as the Coalsack Nebula

The stars within Crux were known to the Ancient Greeks where Ptolemy regarded them as part of the constellation Centaurus They were entirely visible as far north as Britain in the fourth millennium BC However the precession of the equinoxes gradually lowered the stars below the European horizon and they were eventually forgotten by the inhabitants of northern latitudes By AD 400 most of the stars in the constellation we now call Crux never rose above the horizon for Athenians

The 15th century Venetian navigator Alvise Cadamosto made note of what was probably the Southern Cross on exiting the Gambia River in 1455 calling it the carro dellostro southern chariot However Cadamosto s accompanying diagram was inaccurate Historians generally credit Joo Faras astronomer and physician of King Manuel I of Portugal who accompanied Pedro lvares Cabral in the discovery of Brazil in 1500 for being the first European to depict it correctly Faras sketched and described the constellation calling it Las Guardas in a letter written on the beaches of Brazil on May 1 1500 to the Portuguese monarch

Explorer Amerigo Vespucci seems to have observed not only the Southern Cross but also the neighboring Coalsack Nebula on his second voyage in 1501 02

Another early modern description clearly describing Crux as a separate constellation is attributed to Andreas Corsali an Italian navigator who from 1515 to 1517 sailed to China and the East Indies in an expedition sponsored by King Manuel I In 1516 Corsali wrote a letter to the monarch describing his observations of the southern sky which included a rather crude map of the stars around the south celestial pole including the Southern Cross and the two Magellanic Clouds seen in an external orientation as on a globe

Emery Molyneux and Petrus Plancius have also been cited as the first uranographers to distinguish Crux as a separate constellation their representations date from 1592 the former depicting it on his celestial globe and the latter in one of the small celestial maps on his large wall map Both authors however depended on unreliable sources and placed Crux in the wrong position Crux was first shown in its correct position on the celestial globes of Petrus Plancius and Jodocus Hondius in 1598 and 1600 Its stars were first catalogued separately from Centaurus by Frederick de Houtman in 1603 Later adopters of the constellation included Jakob Bartsch in 1624 and Augustin Royer in 1679 Royer is sometimes wrongly cited as initially distinguishing Crux

Crux is bordered by the constellations Centaurus which surrounds it on three sides on the east north and west and Musca to the south Covering 68 square degrees and 0165 of the night sky it is the smallest of the 88 constellations The three letter abbreviation for the constellation as adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1922 is Cru The official constellation boundaries as set by Eugne Delporte in 1930 are defined by a polygon of four segments In the equatorial coordinate system the right ascension coordinates of these borders lie between 11 5613 and 12 5745 while the declination coordinates are between 5568 and 6470 The whole constellation is visible to observers south of latitude 25 N

In tropical regions Crux can be seen in the sky from April to June Crux is exactly opposite to Cassiopeia on the celestial sphere and therefore it can not appear in the sky with the latter at the same time For locations south of 34 S Crux is circumpolar and thus always visible in the night sky

Crux is sometimes confused with the nearby False Cross by stargazers Crux is somewhat kite shaped a Latin cross and it has a fifth star Crucis The False Cross is diamond shaped a Greek cross somewhat dimmer on average does not have a fifth star and lacks the two prominent nearby Pointer Stars

Crux is easily visible from the southern hemisphere at practically any time of year It is also visible near the horizon from tropical latitudes of the northern hemisphere for a few hours every night during the northern winter and spring For instance it is visible from Cancun or any other place at latitude 25 N or less at around 10 pm at the end of April There are 5 main stars Due to precession Crux will move closer to the South Pole in the next millennia up to 67 degrees south declination for the middle of the constellation But in AD 18000 or BC 8000 Crux will be was less than 30 degrees south declination making it visible in Northern Europe Even in AD 14000 it will be visible for most parts of Europe and the whole United States

In the Southern Hemisphere the Southern Cross is frequently used for navigation in much the same way that Polaris is used in the Northern Hemisphere Alpha and Gamma known as Acrux and Gacrux respectively are commonly used to mark south Tracing a line from Gacrux to Acrux leads to a point close to the Southern Celestial Pole Alternatively if a line is constructed perpendicularly between Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri the point where the above mentioned line and this line intersect marks the Southern Celestial Pole Another way to find south strike line through Gacrux and Acrux 4 1 2 times the distance between Gacrux and Acrux directly below that point is south The two stars of Alpha and Beta Centauri are often referred to as the Southern Pointers or just The Pointers allowing people to easily find the asterism of the Southern Cross or the constellation of Crux Very few bright stars of importance lie between Crux and the pole itself although the constellation Musca is fairly easily recognised immediately beneath Crux

A technique used in the field is to clench one s right fist and to view the cross aligning the first knuckle with the axis of the cross The tip of the thumb will indicate south

Argentine gauchos are well known for using it for night orientation in the vast Pampas and Patagonic regions

Within the constellation s borders there are 49 stars brighter than or equal to apparent magnitude 65 The four main stars that form the asterism are Alpha Beta Gamma and Delta Crucis Also known as Acrux Alpha Crucis is a triple star 321 light years from Earth Blue tinged and magnitude 08 to the unaided eye it has two close components of magnitude 13 and 18 as well as a wide component of magnitude 5 The two close components are resolved in a small amateur telescope and the wide component is readily visible in a pair of binoculars Beta Crucis called Mimosa is a blue hued giant of magnitude 13 353 light years from Earth It is a Beta Cephei type Cepheid variable with a variation of less than 01 magnitudes Gamma Crucis called Gacrux is an optical double star The primary is a red hued giant star of magnitude 16 88 light years from Earth The secondary is of magnitude 65 264 light years from Earth Delta Crucis is a blue white hued star of magnitude 28 364 light years from Earth It is the dimmest of the Southern Cross stars Like Beta it is a Beta Cepheid

There are several dimmer stars within the borders of Crux Epsilon Crucis is an orange hued giant star of magnitude 36 228 light years from Earth Iota Crucis is a binary star 125 light years from Earth The primary is an orange hued giant of magnitude 46 and the secondary is of magnitude 95 Mu Crucis is a double star where the unrelated components are about 370 light years from Earth The primary is a blue white hued star of magnitude 40 and the secondary is a blue white hued star of magnitude 51 Mu Crucis is divisible in small amateur telescopes or large binoculars

15 of the 23 brightest stars are blue white B type stars Of the five main cross stars Delta Crucis and probably Acrux and Mimosa are comoving B type members of the Scorpius Centaurus Association the nearest OB association to the Sun They are among the highest mass stellar members of the Lower Centaurus Crux subgroup of the association with ages of roughly 10 to 20 million years Other members include the blue white stars Zeta Lambda Mu and Mu

Lambda Crucis and Theta Crucis are also Beta Cepheid stars

Crux boasts four Cepheid variables that reach naked eye visibility BG Crucis ranges from magnitude 534 to 558 over 33428 days T Crucis ranges from 632 to 683 over 673331 days S Crucis ranges from 622 to 692 over 468997 days and R Crucis ranges from 64 to 723 over 582575 days BH Crucis also known as Welch s Red Variable is a Mira variable that ranges from magnitude 66 to 98 over 530 days Discovered in October 1969 it has become redder and brighter mean magnitude changing from 8047 to 7762 and its period lengthened by 25 in the first thirty years since its discovery

The star HD 106906 has been found to have a planet HD 106906 b that has a larger orbit than any other exoplanet discovered to date

The Coalsack Nebula is the most prominent dark nebula in the skies easily visible to the naked eye as a prominent dark patch in the southern Milky Way It is large five degrees by seven degrees and is 600 light years from Earth Not all of the nebula is in the borders of Crux some of it is technically in Musca and Centaurus

The open cluster NGC 4755 better known as the Jewel Box or Crucis Cluster has an overall magnitude of 42 to the naked eye it appears to be a fuzzy star and is about 7600 light years from Earth The cluster was given its name by John Herschel About seven million years old an age that makes it one of the youngest open clusters in the Milky Way it appears to have the shape of a letter A The Jewel Box Clusters is a Shapley class g and Trumpler class I 3 r cluster it is a very rich centrally concentrated cluster detached from the surrounding star field It has more than 100 stars that range significantly in brightness The brightest stars are mostly blue supergiants though the cluster contains a few bright red supergiants Kappa Crucis is a true member of the cluster that bears its name and is one of the brighter stars at magnitude 59

The most prominent feature of Crux is the distinctive asterism known as the Southern Cross It has great significance in the cultures of the southern hemisphere particularly of Australia and New Zealand

Several southern countries and organisations have traditionally used Crux as a national or distinctive symbol The four or five brightest stars of Crux appear heraldically standardised in various ways on the flags of Australia Brazil New Zealand Papua New Guinea and Samoa They also appear on the flags of the Australian state of Victoria the Australian Capital Territory the Northern Territory as well as the flag of Magallanes Region of Chile the flag of Londrina Brazil and several Argentine provincial flags and emblems for example Tierra del Fuego and Santa Cruz The flag of the Mercosur trading zone displays the four brightest stars Crux also appears on the Brazilian coat of arms and As of July 2015 on Brazilian passports

A Cross also gets a mention in the lyrics of the Brazilian National Anthem 1909 A imagem do Cruzeiro resplandece the image of the Cross shines Five stars appear in the logo of the Brazilian football team Cruzeiro Esporte Clube and in the Brazilian coat of arms and the cross has featured as name of the Brazilian currency the cruzeiro from 1942 to 1986 and again from 1990 to 1994 All coins of the current 1998 series of the Brazilian real display the constellation

Songs and literature reference the Southern Cross including the Argentine epic poem Martn Fierro The Argentinian singer Charly Garca says that he is from the Southern Cross in the song No voy en tren

The Order of the Southern Cross is a Brazilian order of chivalry awarded to those who have rendered significant service to the Brazilian nation

In O Sweet Saint Martin s Land the lyrics mention the Southern Cross Thy Southern Cross the night

A stylized version of Crux appears on the Australian Eureka Flag The constellation was also used on the dark blue shield like patch worn by personnel of the US Army s Americal Division which was organized in the Southern Hemisphere on the island of New Caledonia and also on the blue diamond of the US 1st Marine Division which fought on the Southern Hemisphere islands of Guadalcanal and New Britain

The Petersflagge flag of the German East Africa Company of 1885 1920 which included a constellation of five white five pointed Crux stars on a red ground later served as the model for symbolism associated with generic German colonial oriented organisations the Reichskolonialbund of 1936 1943 and the Friends of the former German Protectorates de 1956 1983 to the present

Southern Cross station is a major rail terminal in Melbourne Australia

In Australian Aboriginal astronomy Crux and the Coalsack mark the head of the Emu in the Sky which is seen in the dark spaces rather than in the patterns of stars in several Aboriginal cultures while Crux itself is said to be a possum sitting in a tree Boorong people of the Wimmera region of northwestern Victoria a representation of the sky deity Mirrabooka Quandamooka people of Stradbroke Island a stingray Yolngu people of Arnhem Land or an eagle Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains Two Pacific constellations also included Gamma Centauri Torres Strait Islanders in modern day Australia saw Gamma Centauri as the handle and the four stars as the trident of Tagai s Fishing Spear The Aranda people of central Australia saw the four Cross stars as the talon of an eagle and Gamma Centauri as its leg

Various peoples in the East Indies and Brazil viewed the four main stars as the body of a ray In both Indonesia and Malaysia it is known as Bintang Pari and Buruj Pari respectively ray stars

The Javanese people of Indonesia called this constellation Gubug pncng raking hut or lumbung the granary because the shape of the constellation was like that of a raking hut

The Mori name for the Southern Cross is Te Punga the anchor It is thought of as the anchor of Tama rereti s waka the Milky Way while the Pointers are its rope In Tonga it is known as Toloa duck it is depicted as a duck flying south with one of his wings Crucis wounded because Ongo tangata two men and Centauri threw a stone at it The Coalsack is known as Humu the triggerfish because of its shape In Samoa the constellation is called Sumu triggerfish because of its rhomboid shape while and Centauri are called Luatagata Two Men just as they are in Tonga The peoples of the Solomon Islands saw several figures in the Southern Cross These included a knee protector and a net used to catch Palolo worms Neighboring peoples in the Marshall Islands saw these stars as a fish

In Mapudungun the language of Patagonian Mapuches the name of the Southern Cross is Melipal which means four stars In Quechua the language of the Inca civilization Crux is known as Chakana which means literally stair chaka bridge link hanan high above but carries a deep symbolism within Quechua mysticism Acrux and Mimosa make up one foot of the Great Rhea a constellation encompassing Centaurus and Circinus along with the two bright stars The Great Rhea was a constellation of the Bororo of Brazil The Mocov people of Argentina also saw a rhea including the stars of Crux Their rhea is attacked by two dogs represented by bright stars in Centaurus and Circinus The dogs heads are marked by Alpha and Beta Centauri The rhea s body is marked by the four main stars of Crux while its head is Gamma Centauri and its feet are the bright stars of Musca The Bakairi people of Brazil had a sprawling constellation representing a bird snare It included the bright stars of Crux the southern part of Centaurus Circinus at least one star in Lupus the bright stars of Musca Beta and Delta Chamaeleonis Volans and Mensa The Kalapalo people of Mato Grosso state in Brazil saw the stars of Crux as Aganagi angry bees having emerged from the Coalsack which they saw as the beehive

Among Tuaregs the four most visible stars of Crux are considered iggaren ie four Maerua crassifolia trees The Tswana people of Botswana saw the constellation as Dithutlwa two giraffes Acrux and Mimosa forming a male and Gacrux and Delta Crucis forming the female

Focused assessment with sonography for trauma commonly abbreviated as FAST is a rapid bedside ultrasound examination performed by surgeons emergency physicians and certain paramedics as a screening test for blood around the heart pericardial effusion or abdominal organs hemoperitoneum after trauma

The four classic areas that are examined for free fluid are the perihepatic space also called Morison s pouch or the hepatorenal recess peri splenic space pericardium and the pelvis With this technique it is possible to identify the presence of intraperitoneal or pericardial free fluid In the context of traumatic injury this fluid will usually be due to bleeding

The extended FAST eFAST allows for the examination of both lungs by adding bilateral anterior thoracic sonography to the FAST exam This allows for the detection of a pneumothorax with the absence of normal lung sliding and comet tail artifact seen on the ultrasound screen Compared with supine chest radiography with CT or clinical course as the gold standard bedside sonography has superior sensitivity 49 99 versus 27 75 similar specificity 95 100 and can be performed in under a minute Several recent prospective studies have validated its use in the setting of trauma resuscitation and have also shown that ultrasound can provide an accurate estimation of pneumothorax size Although radiography or CT scanning is generally feasible immediate bedside detection of a pneumothorax confirms what are often ambiguous physical findings in unstable patients and guides immediate chest decompression In addition in the patient undergoing positive pressure ventilation the detection of an otherwise occult pneumothorax prior to CT scanning may hasten treatment and subsequently prevent development of a tension pneumothorax a deadly complication if not treated immediately and deterioration in the radiology suite in the CT scanner

eFAST Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma allows an emergency physician or a surgeon the ability to determine whether a patient has pneumothorax hemothorax pleural effusion mass tumor or a lodged foreign body The exam allows for visualization of the echogenic tissue ribs and lung tissue Few radiographic signs are important in any trauma and they include the stratosphere sign the sliding or seashore sign and the sinusoid sign

Stratosphere sign is a clinical medical ultrasound finding usually in an eFAST examination that can prove presence of a pneumothorax The sign is an imaging finding using a 35 75 MHz ultrasound probe in the 4th and 5th intercostal spaces in the anterior clavicular line using the M Mode of the machine This finding is seen in the M mode tracing as pleura and lung being indistinguishable as linear hyperechogenic lines and is fairly reliable for diagnosis of a pneumothorax Even though the stratospheric sign can be an indication of pneumothorax its absence is not at all reliable to rule out pneumothorax as definitive diagnosis usually requires Xray or CT of thorax

Seashore sign is another eFAST finding usually in the lungs in the M mode that depicts the glandular echogenicity of the lung abutted by the linear appearance of the visceral pleura This sign is a normal finding In absence of a seashore sign or presence of a stratosphere sign pneumothorax is likely B lines or comet trails are echogenic bright linear reflections beneath the pleura that are usually lost with any air between the probe and the lung tissue and therefore whose presence with seashore sign indicates absence of a pneumothorax

Sinusoid sign is another M mode finding indicating presence of pleural effusion Due to the cyclical movement of the lung in inspiration and expiration the motion time tracing M mode ultrasound shows a sinusoid appearance between the fluid and the line tissue This finding indicates possibly but not with certainty of a pleural effusion empyema blood in pleural space Hemothorax

FAST is less invasive than diagnostic peritoneal lavage involves no exposure to radiation and is cheaper compared to computed tomography but achieves a similar accuracy

Numerous studies have shown FAST is useful in evaluating trauma patients It also appears to make emergency department care faster and better

Negative FAST but full stomach

Negative FAST but full stomach

Negative FAST but full stomach

FAST is most useful in trauma patients who are hemodynamically unstable A positive FAST result is defined as the appearance of a dark anechoic strip in the dependent areas of the peritoneum In the right upper quadrant this typically appears in Morison s Pouch between the liver and kidney This location is most useful as it is the place where fluid will collect with a supine patient In the left upper quadrant blood may collect anywhere around the spleen perisplenic space In the pelvis blood generally pools behind the bladder in the rectovesicular space A positive result suggests hemoperitoneum often CT scan will be performed if the patient is stable or a laparotomy if unstable In those with a negative FAST result a search for extraabdominal sources of bleeding may still need to be performed

We Built This City is a 1985 song written by Bernie Taupin Martin Page Dennis Lambert and Peter Wolf and originally recorded by US rock group Starship and released as their debut single on their album Knee Deep in the Hoopla

Commercially the single reached number one in Australia Canada and the United States the top 10 in Germany Ireland Sweden and Switzerland the top 20 in Belgium New Zealand and the United Kingdom and number 21 in Austria and the Netherlands It has appeared on several worst song lists topping a 2011 Rolling Stone poll of worst songs of the 1980s by a wide margin

What exists of a narrative in the song consists of an argument between the singers Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick and an unidentified you presumably a music industry executive who is marginalizing the band and ripping them off by playing corporation games who counts the money underneath the bar In response to this injustice the singers remind the villain of their importance and fame Listen to the radio Do nt you remember We built this city on rock and roll A spoken word interlude explicitly mentions the Golden Gate Bridge and refers to the city by the bay a common moniker for Starship s hometown of San Francisco Starship s predecessors Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship were prominent members of San Francisco s psychedelic rock scene in the late 1960s and into the 1970s However the interlude then rapidly refers to the same city as the city that rocks a reference to Cleveland Ohio home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and then the city that never sleeps one of the nicknames for New York City Capitalizing on the ambiguity several radio stations added descriptions of their own local areas when they broadcast the song or even simply added their own ident in its place

The song was engineered by producer Bill Bottrell and arranged by Bottrell and Jasun Martz

The song features Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick sharing lead vocals MTV executive and former DJ Les Garland provided the DJ voice over during the song s bridge Additionally some radio stations with the help of jingle company JAM Creative Productions in Dallas Texas would insert their own opening line to promote the station the song would play on

We Built This City received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1986

The magazine Blender s ranking of the song as the worst song ever was in conjunction with a VH1 Special of The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever In order to qualify for the distinction the songs on the list had to be a popular hit at some point thus disqualifying many songs that would by consensus be considered much worse Blender editor Craig Marks said of the song It purports to be anticommercial but reeks of 80s corporate rock commercialism It s a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the 80s

However an article in the Sydney Morning Herald pointed out that Blender s list compiled via an arbitrary and anecdotal data collection process and ranked by Marks included several whimsical criteria One was to go easy on novelty songs In a discussion with the band s manager Bill Thompson he was surprised at the ranking but also thrilled because of the other high profile groups on the list saying I wish Blender had called us for a group shot I d love to have my picture taken with Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney Mickey Thomas one of the singers of Starship said in 2010 regarding the review from the by then folded Blender magazine
