There was a "documentary" on TV last night, about The Carpenters.
Starved for TV as we are, we watched it. Of course, I recognize almost all their songs, and even though it's not my thing, at least it was in English.
What I didn't know was that Karen Carpenter didn't just sing. She was also the drummer.
I mean, forgive me if you already knew this (and fuck you if you're too young to know who they are), but seeing footage of them performing for Nixon at the White House-- where she comes out in a long white dress and then sits down behind the drum kit-- was a bit of a surprise.
