I'm glad you liked it! Yep, I do think Maxwell Edison may have been Steve Martin's inspiration for the dentist character.

I don't know about that, but I played my copy at least once a day. I still have it- on vinyl, of course.

One more bit of trivia, then back on topic. I read that they initially wanted Olivia Newton-John to play Strawberry Fields (Billy's love interest), but Olivia thought the charcter of Strawberry was too sweet (like Sandy in Grease), so she wanted to play Lucy instead. The producers said no.

The red pig logo, btw, I believe was a parody of the little red bull on the RSO label (which the Bee Gees were on)


Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread!
