I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
Vermont's counterpart to Scotland's Loch Ness Monster, which has been theorized to possibly be a marine dinosaur that didn't get extinct when the space object slammed into the Yucatan and kicked up a lot of dust all those years ago. Between Vermont and New York State is Lake Champlain, which is reputed to have such a monster living there. So naturally because of the lake's name this beast is referred to by regional residents as the "Champ".
When I first visited Vermont I came from Montreal and drove a few hours thru the Quebec countryside. I went to St. Albans which is directly on the shores of Lake Champlain. The lovely Green Mountains were in view. I asked a nearby New Englander if that body of water was Lake Champlain. He said yes. I asked him if he'd ever seen the Champ, he said "Not lately".

Get the Champmug. it's the name that two young women took for themselves when they decided to form a singing duo. This was in New York City during the mid to late 70s, when the punk/New Waverevolution was erupting and coming into its own. Probably because their name, they never went very far.
I was paging thru a documentary book about Blondie (that New Wave band featuring Debbie Harry) that my girlfriend loaned to me and I saw a picture of a party going on at the legendary CBGB club. Amongst the crowd inside were the members of the duo Sic Fux. There were more pictures of the duo throughout the book.

Get the sic fuxmug. Pat DiNizio, singer/rhythm guitarist/songwriter of the cool New Jersey garage rock/alternative rock band Smithereens says that this phrase, which is the title of a hit from their 1991 album "Blow Up", means basically "Hey man, c'est la vie". This is in the CD liner notes of the album "Blown to Smithereens, Best of the Smithereens".

Get the Top of the Popsmug. The personal anthem of the famous Cookie Monster on the wonderful PBS educational kids show Sesame Street. The song also gives kids a few pointers on the letter "C". We all love the Cookie Monster.
Here's the lyrics to the song.
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Cookie Monster, you're rad! We dig you! You ROCK!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
C is for Cookie,
That's good enough for me!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Cookie Monster, you're rad! We dig you! You ROCK!

Get the C is for Cookiemug. quite simply, this is a term used to describe former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry. His vocal crooning styles, his habit of wearing stylish clothes when he plays the piano, synthesizer, and occasionally guitar, his stylish, suave, sophisticated and elegant image that he shows in pictures, performance and video and the fact that Roxy Music inspired punk rock and New Wave leads to this designation. Today he pursues his solo career, sometimes covering artists that inspire him - like Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and yes, Frank Sinatra. His sound is now generally the New Romantic and Eurodisco styles that Roxy Music laid the foundation for.
I heard Roxy Music on the radio and saw some of their videos (as well as Bryan Ferry solo)on MTV in the Eighties. In 1990 I had a buyer's card filled up with purchase punches which meant I could get a free album. The girl at the checkout said that the album I got (a Roxy best-of) was really good, and she said that Bryan Ferry is a "punk Sinatra". Man was she right! I've been a fan ever since.

Get the punk Sinatramug. A statement found on several Deadheads' vehicle rear bumpers expressing thanks to the late Jerry Garcia, singer, guitarist, songwriter and icon for the San Francisco roots rock band the Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead disbanded in December 1995 after the death of Jerry Garcia earlier in the year.
The Grateful Dead are an American institution.
They truly loved to play rock'n'roll music as well as its roots, the band was very devoted to these things.
Thank you Jerry.

Get the Thank You Jerrymug. 1. lengthy prog rock/hard rock tune by the Canadian band Rush. I think it refers to a classic piece of lit called "Kubla Khan", don't quote me on this.
2. one of the most wretchedly godawful movies ever made. An absolute waste of time, film, money and effort. It was a total dud and a bomb during the summer of 1980. The story line was unbelievably stupid. It was possibly the worst movie ever released to public cinemas until that exalted status was taken by "Sibling Rivalry" ten years later. It starred the Aussie Olivia Newton-John as a "muse", can U dig it? But it gets worse from there, much worse. About the best thing about this flick is the historical fact that the action that occured during the music clips foretold the emergence of MTV the following year. The soundtrack ain't too bad, however. Olivia scored a big hit with "Magic", another one with "Suddenly" (with Cliff Richard), and the title track with the "Electric Light Orchestra". ELO also scored high with their own "I'm Alive" and "All Over the World". Despite the embarrassment that this shitty movie placed upon them, ELO and Olivia would go on further into their music careers with even more success.

1. When I saw Rush on their "30th Anniversary Tour" in 2004 they played a wide spectrum of classics, including "Xanadu".
2. I first saw Xanadu on TV at my grandparents' house one summer a few years after that movie first came out. A complete piece of trash. Olivia herself would later star in another flick, "Two of a Kind", with John Travolta again. It too was an utter pile of puke. My roomate commented on Olivia's nice ass. That was the best thing you could say about that one.
