You know, I like Thomas Dolby as much as the next guy, but what was up with that faux-rap in "Hyperactive"?

Whatever you may think of the song, I always enjoyed the video.

Mr. Dolby was quite the studio guy before getting releasing 1981's "Leipzig" (on original LP release of Golden Age Of Wireless with the non-cartoon picture of Tom):
the best songs of Lene Lovich and Bruce Woolley!

<br>Thomas Dolby? Is he still married to Kathleen Turner?
[/quote]

No, he has been married to Kathleen Beller for 17 years now.

Wait, so you mean Tony Carey [i]isn't[/i] the lead singer/keyboardist for Industry??

I've been working on an episode guide for Beller's last TV show for, like, 7 years now. (Maybe someday I'll finish it.) Right after it was cancelled, she and Dolby got hitched. I was pretty impressed with him at the time. A man who looks like Albert Einstein being able to tap that.

Of course, I got no idea what she looks like nowadays.

I must also add a mention of Dolby's work with Prefab Sprout, as 2 Wheels Good/Steve Mcqueen is one of my all-time favorite albums.
