I'm not sure I ever heard anything by the guy, even "Tiny Bubbles."

Oops, typo - that should be 1930. Mods?

I just remember his daughter being at the front of the second-tier Britney copies that were going around circa 1999-2001.

You’re allowed one last meal. What would it be?

Get your pencil and paper out. OK, spicy garlic shrimp from Eastern Paradise on King Street, arrabiata from Capricciosa, lobster with black bean sauce on noodles at Fook Yuen, chicken long rice at Ono’s, kai see mein at Helen’s Chinese Food. I’m giving you all my very, very favorite restaurants, my very favorite foods, you know. Royal crab at Young’s Fishmarket. That’s a Hawaiian restaurant in Kalihi. Turkey ‘okole from Young’s. Pig’s Feet from Hong Kong’s Noodle House. Poke? The best is at Izakaya Nonbei—the best. Huevos Americana from La Bamba, hot sour soup at Woodland’s—the greatest. Lamb at Aku Bone. One time they gave me some lamb. It was really out of sight. Also at the Grill, I usually like the fish and chips. And a big bowl of poi for all of this.

Do you like fresh poi?

I like poi any way you can give it to me.

Would you top it all off with a glass of red wine?

I would like to. Right now I gotta be a good boy.

But it would be your last meal.

A bottle of Pinot Noir. Any year.

Funnily, "Tiny Bubbles" really caught my ear when I was a little kid. Rest in peace.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Sunday, 15 April 2007 06:12 (eighteen years ago)
