In that one, Christine looks like she's just about HAD it, so of course I love it.

I still can't believe she's wearing a Schlitz cap in the first one. I wish she walked on-stage - to sing Songbird - and forgot that she was wearing it.

I assume you meant you've always been partial to it? I mean, it's a great pic, but hardly your little secret.


I have that Schlitz poster somewhere, I've always thought the band looked great, esp. the ladies.

Maybe he meant the other definition of "privy":

An outdoor toilet; an outhouse.
A toilet.

Speaking of definitions, here's a good one for him:

il·lit·er·ate /ɪˈlɪtərɪt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[i-lit-er-it] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective

1. unable to read and write: an illiterate group.
2. having or demonstrating very little or no education.
3. showing lack of culture, esp. in language and literature.
4. displaying a marked lack of knowledge in a particular field: He is musically illiterate.

Hey, thanks! I found a great one for you:

pre•ten•tious
\pri-ˈten(t)-shəs\
adjective

1: characterized by pretension: as a: making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing)

2: making demands on one's skill, ability, or means : ambitious

Ex: "A veterinary assistant pretentiously pointed out others spelling and grammar errors, while she herself never bothered to become a credentialed doctor.”

I've got that Schlitz poster.

CMV looked her best during the Tango era, imo. Especially in the Tango tourbook.

i dont know who was in charge of Schlitz's marketing campaign on this one, but they obviously did a GREAT job. i can just see the conversation now...

"what should we do....how about we just put one can on a table, slap a really unflattering hat on christine, and put them in front of a wal mart photo center background."

"bingo."
