Noted in Passing: Dog Police


From the “No Apologies” Tour, 1983

Somedays I just can’t help thinking the whole country has contracted BrainCovid™ from exposure to Brandon.

    Long before I met my wife, I was having lunch at an outdoor cafe uptown. The city was holding some sort of street fair, and they had a guy in a McGruff the Crime Fighting Dog costume walking around, and posing for pictures with the kids. A nice looking gal was sitting alone at the next table.
    Here’s my chance.
    I caught her eye, leaned over, and said, “You know, that’s not the real McGruff. It’s just a guy in a costume pretending.” With a line like that I was sure to get at least a smile, right?
    No. Just a cold flat look.

    Abecedarians are an overlooked 80’s wave band, almost an American Joy Division in certain parts, The Ocean Blue is another criminally underrated band from that time.
