Musical Interlude: Back in those madcap days called the 90s, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I picked up this CD. Dubbed "A Tribute to K-Tel Records," it's got 70s songs performed by current alt-rock bands.

"Who is K-Tel Records?" I hear you ask. I hate you. But seriously, K-Tel was a Canadian company that published a series of compilation albums in the mid-70s of current popular songs, all by the original artists, similar, I think, to the "That's What I Call Music" series today. Back then, compilation albums were a novelty. They were advertised heavily via TV commercials, and for many teens of the period, they were a vital part of one's music collection.

So, part of this tribute to K-Tel was this song, by a favorite band, of a song I love.

"Venus," performed by Southern Culture on the Skids.
