Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The lord of loneliness--that's singer-com-poser-poet Rod McKuen, who's appearing at Massey Hall this Monday and Tuesday. McKuen's secret, says writer Marci McDonald, is that great untapped market of middle America--loneliness. But he sings as if someone spiked his mouthwash with Ajax.
