You deserve a break today, so get up and get away to McDonald's!

I am stuck on bandaids, cause bandaids stuck on me (before they had the kids sing it!)
I just happen to be watching a live preformance (well maybe pre-recoreded on a local public support station) of his songs of the 70's and he was talking about how he got started. INteresting!

Yes those commercials were the ones he did before he had any hit records. He toured with Bette Midler as her musical director until he had a big hit with "Mandy". She always let him do a short set while she took a break.
