Nikon D3200: Miscellaneous Observations
Those are some well thought out and well written coments Larry.
I remember when the D3100 came out and it lacked remote capability - I thought that was a mistake on Nikon's part. I am glad that they have fixed it.
They jumped the burst mode to 4 fps - at 24 MP. That is welcome. It also takes a lot more CPU power and a faster rendering pipleline. I am hoping that if the CPU is faster that AF willl be improved a bit too.
The improved screen is welcome also.
I do wish that they had added the ability to add non-CPU lenses.
Also wish they had focus peaking in Live View like the Sony does (or is it Olympus?) for MF operation. I think that would be just awesome for macro.
In any case, it seems like a decent enough release. Lets hope the 24 MP sensor does not disappoint.

Andrew's recommending we update our MozMill usage to the latest version, as this will hopefully solve some of the issues we currently have.
The latest available versions are:
- http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/m/mozrunner/mozrunner-2.5.4.tar.gz
- http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/j/jsbridge/jsbridge-2.4.3.tar.gz
- http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/m/mozmill/mozmill-1.5.3.tar.gz
Created attachment 532026 [details] [diff] [review]
This gets the basics working, but is hopelessly complete, and there's various test failures in there.
asuth: Can you take a look at this?
I've disabled all the error handling hooks in runtest.py, but I still only get TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL and no detail lines. Is this something you've done in our test code itself?
Also, I'm running on a single directory, and setupModule seems to fail for any test file after the first, despite the fact that running the subsequent files on their own pass fine...
I can't see anything in the 1.5.2/1.5.3 fixed list that says this has changed, so I'm kinda lost without any errors being logged.

(note: I did the disabling locally)
good news / bad news... I think I have it "working", but am seeing the same problem we are trying to escape:
error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <jsbridge.network.BackChannel connected 127.0.0.1:24242 at 0x2be88c0> (<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>:'message' [/usr/lib64/python2.7/asyncore.py|readwrite|104] [/usr/lib64/python2.7/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|435] [/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsbridge-2.4.3-py2.7.egg/jsbridge/network.py|handle_read|94] [/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsbridge-2.4.3-py2.7.egg/jsbridge/network.py|process_read|255] [/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsbridge-2.4.3-py2.7.egg/jsbridge/network.py|fire_callbacks|270] [/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jsbridge-2.4.3-py2.7.egg/jsbridge/network.py|fire_event|291] [/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mozmill-1.5.3-py2.7.egg/mozmill/__init__.py|__call__|97] [runtest.py|logFailure|371])
oops, no that's my fancy pants logging that I need to update.
So it appears that the problem that is breaking mozmill right now is that an nsIException is bubbling up to cause test failures in setupModule. Through some combination of violated assumptions on the part of my fancy pants logging, this was killing the python process when it saw an exception object that was just {}.
I have things "working" on mozmill, where "working" translates to we are now dying from:
nsIException: Component returned failure code: 0x80550013 [nsIMsgFolder.createSubfolder] (2153054227)
This raises the two major questions:
- Did something change in the platform error reporting recently that nsIExceptions would start coming out of the woodwork?
- Did something change recently in our createSubfolder semantics that would be a jerk?
uh, and after I post that I immediately realize we might be screwing up our profile directory. I'll look at that now...
Sorry for the chicken-with-its-head-cut-off posts here.
It appears that the createSubfolder problem is because newer mozmill uses a different submodule loading system. Our shared-modules' defense about being initialized multiple times was being defeated, which was causing us to attempt to re-initialize all helper subsystems multiple times. This resulted in us trying to re-create the INBOX multiple times, which led to createSubfolder getting deeply upset, which led to nsIException instances, which led to fancy pants error reporting falling over.
Amendment to previous comment: the mechanics of module loading are basically the same (although there is now a 'require' provided that provides securable module semantics.)
The problem is that the python Mozmill runner no longer issues a single call to runTestDirectory, but rather N calls to runTestFile. runTestFile instantiates a new Collector each time which means that our shared-module helpers each get loaded N times.

in theory backward compatible upgraded thing v1
So, I tried to make this backwards compatible by detecting:
- whether self.options.test is a string or a list of strings
- whether we are on 1.5.x and therefore need to monkeypatch to change things to directory-centric behavior.
folder-display passes for me save for one archive test failure that the fancy pants logging correctly warns us about ("about to ignore command because it's disabled: cmd_archive").
I somehow confused myself into thinking that Thunderbird still was experiencing perma-orange, but since that is not the case, I won't be able to look into this any further.
So, I'm not totally clear on where you are with this. Do you need a hand with anything or are you ok?
One issue in the low level (javascript) platform that you want to avoid is the "errors are not enumerable" issue that we just had to patch in mozmill. We just landed a fix for that on 1.5.4pre, which is available on pypi. We will probably release 1.5.4 next week, depending on what else QA wants in the release.
You can pick up the code by checking out the hotfix-1.5 branch from the mozautomation repo -- https://github.com/mozautomation/mozmill.
(In reply to comment #11)
> So, I'm not totally clear on where you are with this. Do you need a hand
> with anything or are you ok?
First, thanks for the interest in helping us out here and making sure we are okay!
Short answer:
I think we would appreciate guidance on the proper way to provide support logic, preferably durable logic, but otherwise are good. Thunderbird is a lot more stateful than Firefox and it would be simpler if we can have helpers loaded via mozmill that stick around without having to move them to be in-tree JS modules. (We could also have the code unload at the end of each test and notice when we are being evaluated into a 'dirty' state and adapt to that, but that requires more work.) If there is documentation on this, that would be great.
Assuming my patch works for us, I think Thunderbird wants to get on the mozmill 1.5.x bandwagon so we get nice fixes like that latest one. What is the appropriate mailing list/RSS feed/venue for Thunderbird to keep abreast of such releases and notable fixes?
I believe the patch addresses all outstanding problems, which I'm breaking out here for Standard8's benefit:
- Thunderbird's custom logger is brittle in the face of unexpected exception objects (both with 1.4.x mozmill and mozmill 1.5.x). The non-enumerable thing is likely the cause of the change in behaviour (bug 637207 landed apr 14th with follow-up apr 18th). My attached patch addresses this.
- The change of 1.5.x to run tests individually with a separate JS context each time fouled up our helper code. My attached patch addresses this by reverting to using runTestDirectory.
- The change of 1.5.x to having options.test be a list instead of a single string broke some of our driver code. My attached patch address this by dealing with things being an array of strings; it also tries to deal with the old-school case where it is a string.
The "I won't be able to look into this any further" is a recognition that I'm no longer full-time on Thunderbird and blew my amortized Thunderbird-helping budget last week and am turfing this back to Standard8 for the time being. (I am available for reviews and consultation.)

patch that works on Windows, v1
OK, so this passes for me on Windows.
The upgrade exposed a bug in a test, which I've fixed, but now I'm having second thoughts about whether this is the right way to fix it. A better way would probably be to make sure archiving is set back to enabled at the end of <https://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/test/mozmill/folder-display/test-message-commands.js#412>, in teardownModule.
The reason the test hasn't been failing until now is because we don't check for a timeout at <https://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/test/mozmill/shared-modules/test-folder-display-helpers.js#1429>. MozMill 1.5 always fails if controller.waitForEval times out :)
great, glad you fixed this.
Yeah, my inclination is to make sure individual tests clean up after themselves; it's more maintainable that way.
For the record, MozMill 1.5.4b3 is up on pypi, so nothing blocks us from that side.
review ping -- Mark, if you're too busy, bienvenu's offered to look at the patch.

So this is looking reasonable, but on my Mac the message-header tests are failing, with no indication as to the actual failure still (just jsbridge complaining).
A few other tests fail, but they at least report the failure points.

patch that works on Windows and Mac. v2
Two more fixes:
1. MozMill changed its documentLoaded variable to mozmillDocumentLoaded, as a sort of namespacing I guess.
2. The a11y stuff's properly disabled on Mac now. Seems like we'd silently fail on Mac earlier. I had to move it to the end because that's how a function inside an if statement would be ordered regardless.

patch that works on Windows and Mac. v2
Ok, from what I can tell this works fine, but please check it is still ok with 1.5.4b4.
What I suggest we (well, mainly you!) do is:
- Work out a time for when we can close the trees and upgrade all the machines and trees (I'm assuming we need to update everything at the same time - does this still apply to 1.9.2?).
-- Talk to jhopkins, but I would propose Thursday as it should be a couple of days after the release, but it'll be before the merge to beta.
- File a bug on getting the builders upgraded, mention the specific versions.
- Publicise the closure
- Then we can push it out, I suspect there may be some failures that we'll need to fix up, hence if several of us are around for the upgrade time that would be good.

patch v2 that imports mozmill into the tree (important bits)
As discussed, the best way forward seems to be to switch to an in-tree MozMill. The important bits are in this patch -- the rest is just a straight code import of whichever python packages we need.
The patch works similarly to what's in mozilla-central. make -C mail/test/mozmill will
- copy over all the packages to objdir/mozilla/_tests/mozmill/resources.
- set up a virtualenv in objdir/mozilla/_tests/mozmill-virtualenv. Note that per a recommendation from jhammel, we deliberately do not set up a virtualenv inside objdir/mozilla/_tests/mozmill because it isn't guaranteed to be portable across different systems, even those running the same OS.
- install our libraries in the virtualenv.
Then, make mozmill and make mozmill-one simply run runtestlist.py/runtest.py using the virtualenv's python.
Buildbot will have to run
(1) installmozmill.py whatever/dir/should/be/the/virtualenv
(2) whatever/dir/should/be/the/virtualenv/{bin|Scripts}/python runtestlist.py etc as usual.
Other notes:
- PYTHONHOME overrides virtualenv so we unset it before trying to do anything. Buildbot will have to do the same.
- The installmozmill.py is mostly lifted from <https://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/testing/mozmill/installmozmill.py>, with a bunch of unncessary stuff removed. (I don't think installing from pip is a good idea at all :) )
- I haven't really been able to test this on the tryserver because it involves buildbot changes. So we'll probably have to close the tree and iron any issues out.
Sid, just wondering, will switching to an in-tree MozMill make it easy to upgrade to, say, Mozmill 2.0 in the future?
Or will it be so intertwined that another major uplifting effort will be required?
Also, will the version of Mozmill on c-c be exposed in some file?
(In reply to comment #22)
> Sid, just wondering, will switching to an in-tree MozMill make it easy to

Yes, modulo any APIs we use that Mozmill 2.0 breaks.
> Also, will the version of Mozmill on c-c be exposed in some file?
Uh, well, I guess you could read it in from the in-tree setup.py.
The complete patch is too big to host on Bugzilla, so I'm currently hunting for another place to host it.

patch v3 that imports mozmill into the tree (important bits)
No real changes from v2, just s/RECURSIVE_INSTALL/DIR_INSTALL.
The full patch is up at http://people.mozilla.org/~sagarwal/656736-mozmill-upgrade.diff
Mark, you CC'ed me here, what is the action item I need to notice/what part of this matters to me. There is a lot of data here and not being someone who ever used MozMill directly, its hard to digest easily.
If mozmill doesn't get packaged how do the unit test builders install it? (they don't necessarily have a source tree checked out).
The MozMill source tree's packaged, but the virtualenv isn't. So unit test builders need to run installmozmill.py to create a virtualenv from the source tree.
We might want to switch to http://k0s.org/mozilla/hg/carton at some point though -- it's a tool that creates a single python file which when run expands into a virtualenv.

The comment on this section is confusing. How about something more like "virtualenv goes into its own directory and doesn't get packaged into tests - as it is only applicable to the build on this machine."
Reminder re buildbot, we'll need it to not run installmozmill.py on the branches, probably the best way to do this is to detect if the file exists or not.

This isn't tested, but it's really the same code (though I might have messed something up...)
I'm still seeing errors with a few tests on staging mini-01, but (over an ssh connection) I found that the current version of mozmill on that machine has the very same problems, and that my own OS X install doesn't. So I'm going to attribute this to a problem with the build slave or the build itself, and recommend that we get everything into the tree on Monday if possible.

Contrary to popular belief, Derek Fisher played for two other teams before being traded by the Lakers at the trade deadline March 15.
Even if he's never been considered L.A.'s star, Fisher's five title rings make you think "Lakers" instinctively upon hearing his name. It's not that his three years in Golden State and Utah should be totally cast aside — he did pilot the Jazz to the conference finals in 2007, mind you, with his chilling mid-game entrance. It's just his legacy, besides his headband-over-ears look, is that of a Laker.
Which makes tonight's game against Oklahoma City, his new team, all the weirder for Kobe Bryant. "It's going to be emotional, I'm sure, for everybody, him and I in particular," Bryant said two days after Fisher was traded to the Rockets, then bought out. He then signed with OKC for the rest of this season and picked up a No. 37 uniform. It's a reference to his age — kind of like how his No. 2 in purple and gold could be seen as a play on his being Kobe's sidekick for more than 12 years since they came in as rookies together in 1996.
Here are Derek Fisher's top five moments as a Laker.
5, Not an oldie but a goodie, and probably D-Fish's last, best moment as a Laker. Back in January, Kobe catches the Dallas defense napping on Fisher under 10 seconds, and then Fisher catches Dirk Nowitzki stumbling on his close out to hit a game-winner.Subscribe to UPROXX
4, Kobe and Fisher are close, sure, but this shows how much so: With Kobe asking for the ball 25 feet from the hoop in December 2010 against the Clippers (B.C. "Lob City"), Fisher instead lofts a game-winner. The slow-motion shot later in the video is incredible, showing just how close A) it came before the buzzer and B) it came to being sent in the 10th row by DeAndre Jordan.
3, Instead of tying the 2009 NBA Finals 2-2, Orlando let Fish get open two too many times late in Game 4. Fisher went cold-blooded with his game-tying three in regulation's final seconds in front of Jameer Nelson, then dropped a three in OT to break a tie for the Lakers. They would go back to L.A. and seal Fisher and Kobe's fourth title together in Game 5.
2, His layup in Game 3 of the 2010 NBA Finals was one of the plays where you see it develop and still not believe it's going to come off. Instead of pulling up to set the play, Fisher just kept going. He's gotta pull up, right? RIGHT? Through Big Baby Davis, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. (Or rather, they went through him). It was part of 11 points by Fisher in the fourth quarter in the Lakers' last title season.
Wrote the L.A. Times' Bill Plaschke:
Fisher drove right to the basket and took flight just as Garnett, Glen Davis and Ray Allen all converged on him. They collided in mid-air. Fisher dropped to the floor.
Just as the ball was dropping in the basket. Just as a dagger was going through a heart. Just as the biggest moment in a second consecutive NBA Finals was being stolen by the smallest presence in the gym.
"They swallowed him up," said teammate Luke Walton with an amazed grin. "But he came out huge."
Bigger than ever he is, this creaky Lakers leader who has once again saved a game that his longtime running mate and much brighter star named Kobe Bryant could not.
1, What can you do in 0.4 seconds? Stop, time's up. Fisher hit one of the biggest playoff shots in history in Game 5 of the 2004 playoffs against San Antonio. It's one of the few shots that could have topped Tim Duncan's also-incredible fade-away, one-leg kick jumper from 19 feet that preceded it. Go out to your driveway and try to recreate this.
Where does his 0.4 shot rank all-time?

Long Cool Woman %28In A Black Dress%29 by The Hollies Songfacts
This contains one of the classic indecipherable lyrics in rock history. The part after "She was a long cool woman in a black dress" is "Just a 5' 9" beautiful tall."
Distant Light
album was out for a year before this song was released as a single. Before the single was released, lead singer Allan Clarke left the group, replaced by Swedish singer Michael Rickfors. After "Long Cool Woman" became a hit in the US, Clarke rethought his solo career and came back. The group released one album with Rickfors, which did not sell well.
On the charts, this was a rare miss in the UK, where the Hollies were from and where they had their greatest success. It was surprising, however, how well it did in the US.
This is the only Hollies single without any backing vocals. The reason why Clarke is the only singer on this record is that he didn't intended the song to be released on a Hollies album, but as a record of his own. When the band learned that he intended to do a solo recording, Clarke was issued an ultimatum - he could either remain with The Hollies or pursue a solo career, but not both. Clarke told
Rolling Stone
in 1973: "I think with me the band feared that if I got a hit I'd leave. How can you stop destiny? Now, if they originally agreed, I might not even have left. 'Long Cool Woman' would have been released a year earlier, and we'd have done a few tours of the States and maybe would have been really big."
Clarke wrote this song with the Brittish songwriters Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway. Cook and Greenaway also wrote "
I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
" by The New Seekers.

Hi Jennifur, I was fortunate enough to meet Allan several times in the mid to late nineties, I worked in music rights management at that time and we became friendly. He was still touring with the Hollies at that time but it was clear that his singing voice was past its best. Very pleasant person, and modest in his achievements.
Steve - Northampton England
Steve if you ever see him tell him thanks for all the music and for this song. Heard he no longer sings because of voice problems. That is soooo sad.
Jennifur Sun - Ramona
The Hollies singer, Allan Clarke lives close to my hometown and was once interviewed on our local radio station where LCW was discussed. He said there is a mistake in the lyrics which was never rectified as the song was originally intended as a filler album track. The line 'jumping out of doors and TABLES' should have been 'jumping out of doors and WINDOWS'. As the lyrics are largely indistinct anyway, the producers thought another take was unnecessary.
Steve - Northampton England
Always thought the line was "Just a 5'9" beautiful DOLL" (instead of 'tall' - makes more sense, evan rhymes somewhat with 'all')
Anton - Earth
When I was young, I remember neighbors in their teens playing the radio while shooting baskets. Of all the songs that were broadcast, this is the one I remember (and loved) most. The reverb on the guitar and vocals gives it an even more distant, nostalgic place in my long memory. For years, I listened to this song on tiny clock radios with one low-fidelity speaker. Being, undecipherable, I tried to make out what the lyrical content was. These are the words I attributed to the song. I know THEY ARE WRONG, but I rather like some of them, especially the "beautiful song" variants.
Saturday night I was downtown,
Working for the FBI.
Sitting in a nest of fed men,
Whisky bottles piled high.
Foolin' and boozin' on the West Side,
All the people who were doing wrong.
Just about to call up the DA man,
When I heard this woman singing a song.
A pair of fine thighs, baby, opened my eyes. (I still can't hear "45s")
My temperature started to rise.
She was a long cool woman in a black dress,
And she sang a beautiful song. (I know, it doesn't rhyme with "all")
Just one look, I was a bad mess
'Cuz that long cool woman had it all.
I saw her headin' to the table
With a tall-walking, big black cat. (an Afro-American bodyguard)
And Charlie said "I hope that you're hip, my boy! (yeah, anachronistic for the prohibition era, I know)
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at."
And suddenly we heard the sirens,
And everybody started to run.
A-jumpin' under bars and tables,
Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun.
Well the feeling was gone from my left hand, (implying a gunshot wound)
And she was a-holding my right.
Well, I told her don't get scared
'Cuz you're gonna be spared.
Well, I've gotta be forgivin'
And understand I'm livin'
With a long cool woman in a black dress,
Just to find her beautiful song.
Just one look, I was a bad mess
'Cuz that long cool woman had it all.
By the way, my friend suggested "Well a shotgun was pumped in my left hand" for the beginning of the last verse. With careful listening, we knew it was incorrect, but we both thought it was cool.
Brian - La Mesa, Ca
Yeah I always considered this the greatest Creedence Clearwater Revival song that Creedence never did...BTW, as a guitar player, the lead guitar riff sounds incredible on a Fender Telecaster's bridge pickup with a healthy dose of reverb and moderate overdrive.
Glenn - St. George, Ut
On July 4th 1975, the Hollies performed "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'...
Exactly three years earlier on July 4th, 1972 it was at position #33 on the Hot Top 100 chart...
(See next post for more chart info).
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
On June 18th 1972, "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" by the Hollies entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #75; and on August 27th it peaked at #2 (for 2 weeks) and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100 (and for 8 of those 15 weeks it was on the Top 10)...
And on September 16th it reached #1 (for 2 weeks) on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart...
The two weeks it was at #2 on the Top 100; the #1 record for both those weeks was "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan...
Between 1964 and 1983 the group had twenty-four Top 100 records; six made the Top 10 with "Long Cool Woman" being their biggest hit.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
I feel DA is referring to a gun (as in Double Action). He was about to pull out his DA (double action) and bust the place. When he heard the woman start to sing. Later he had his DA in his left hand, "pumping" (shooting) and her in his right as he was shooting his way out of the place.
Joseph - Marco Island, Fl
Thank you so much for posting these lyrics! All the history and explanation are wonderful too. Of course, I would never dare the argue with lyrics posted on the HOLLIES own website, but one of the last lines sounds a little different to me.
Sound to me like he's saying,
Well the DA was pumping my left hand (shaking his hand for doing a good job with the bust)
--- AH, BUT --- she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiv--IN' --- (forgivING, as in letting her off the hook)
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
Cool website BTW!!!! Keep up the good work! :-)
Kristy - Rock Hill, Sc
This song is now used by BP to help sell gasoline in a TV spot showing two cars, one that uses another brand and the green SUV that goes farther on its tank. After careful consideration I still do not quite get the connection between the love-struck FBI-man and gasoline.
Marty - Mofallon, Mo
I have a "Songs of the 70s" CD that has this song just before "Don't Fear the Reaper." Perhaps just a coincidence, but both have opening guitar riffs that are pretty similar.
Esskayess - Dallas, Tx
The Hollies were born too late, and on the wrong side of the Atlantic, to have visited a speakeasy. They lived in the Beat Generation, but their focus was Beat Music, and the actors in this song don't particularly behave like Beatniks.
The tale, though, is surprisingly plausible. The FBI paid informants to infiltrate places inaccessible to their own agents. A performing musician would have perfect cover, staying several hours every night, free to watch all developments without arousing any suspicion. In later life, the performer might become a studio artist or a mentor to young musicians. When the story made its way to the Hollies, possibly second-hand with embellishments, it became a natural to commit to vinyl.
W. T. Durham - Atlanta, Ga

Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at

Since I first heard this song in 72 it was my good luck song. Over the years whenever I heard it I would get a jolt of energy and expect good things to occur. 12 years ago I meet a beautiful women in a black dress she was so sexy and cool and thinking of this song I struck up a conversation. 2 years later we were married. I am now 52 years old and it still is magic to me.
Frank - Hoboken, Nj
On the inside of a cd cover Hollies Drummer,Bobby Elliott,wrote the following about the very famous Guitar Riff opening Of LCW..."Previously I heard Allan (Clarke) playing a short attractive guitar piece whilst he was relaxing or tuning up.I suggested that we started the song with the same piece." And so they did...
Andoline - Pretoria, South Africa
I swear that for the longest time, I thought that this song was sung by the late ROY ORBISON, go figure!
Nelson - Jacksonville, Fl., Fl
This is my least favorite Hollies song. However from reading the posts about Allan's ultimatum it clears up a lot. I think that "Would You Believe" is my favorite Hollies song, and I was really pleased to hear "King Midas in Reverse" used in The Limey. It was wonderful seeing most of the group on the R&R Hall of Fame induction, but I was disappointed that Tony wasn't there. He was always my fave.
Regina - Los Angeles, Ca
This is my least favorite of The Hollies most popular hits. It sounds too twangy, like a country song. It surprises me The Hollies actually sang it. They have so many other beautiful songs this one really isn't so special to me.
Camille - Toronto, Oh
Love the Hollies! Just wondering why a British band would write a song about the American F.B.I.? I guess they thought it was a cool organization or why write a song about it!
Estele - Fairchild, Wi
Long Cool woman wasn't the only Song without Harmonies...Maybe the only Hollies hit,though!!!! On the album " For Certain Because" ,Mr. Clarke does a song Called "High Classed"...And It's done without Harmonies or Backing vocals...And that's just one I can quickly think of...#;o)
Andoline - Pretoria, South Africa
This song is about an FBI agent doing a sting and he spared the long cool woman becouse he wanted her...
Jim - Long Beach, Ca
You know, I've scoured about every site containing the lyrics to this song and there are some parts that no matter how hard I try to hear the accepted lyrics, they just don't match with what I'm hearing. So...in contention with what everyone says the lyrics are, I am proposing my version of the lyrics. These lyrics are acquired by taking the mp3 file of the song and playing it back in an editing program and slowing the tempo down while maintaining the pitch. I slowed the speed down to 60% which made the lyrics much clearer...then in the parts that were still a little unsure I slowed it down to 50%. I'm 99.99% positive these are the actual words to this song. Most are the same as the accepted versions but there are some differences. I suggest, printing my lyrics and reading them along as you listen to the song. Anyway...this isn't meant to cause an argument, I'm just proposing this version after a long time analyzing the words. Here we go......

Tom - Colorado Springs, Co
sorry to say, but this one kind of falls short for me, as far as Hollies hits-----their just lacking the harmonies of their earlier stuff. still it's a good song.
Harold - San Bernadino, Ca
I've played this song all my life in Rock bands and always knew a pair of 45's where her breast size. The Hollies were an original. I dug all their music, but this one fell into the rock category that my band "The Overlords" like to rock. Check out our "Chain Of Fools" remake at www.TheOverlords.com
John - L.a., Ca
Hey Aerovette,Mars-AK---Thanks so much for the words and the explanations there-of. Of this classic Hollies song "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress"-(she had it all)-Oh yeah!
I am now 49, I remember when I first heard this on our local top-AM-Rock,Pop,Soul Radio station at the time. That was 1972 and I was 12. The guitar intro just hooked me. And I've been stuck ever since.
I love this song,and it brings back a lot of good memories. I also love "The Air That I Breathe" which was tops at the same time. And the earlier "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)".
Plus all of their 60s hits with Graham Nash. Thanks so much for posting the words to this song. Because I could never figure them out.What can I say people,A "Hollies" Classic!---She had it allll,Had it all-She had it all'-Don't you know...
Wayne - Salem, Va
My friend [deceased] name of Jan,a gorgeous girl, swears she lived with the songwriter in the UK during the sixties and she was the inspiration for the words "Long cool woman in a black dress" Does anyone know otherwise?
Chez - Queensland, Australia
Rich from OH-----"Bus Stop" is just the beginning.
Go back and explore their early hits {'65 through '67} and you'll find some of the most amazing harmonies probably ever recorded!
Daevid - Glendale, Ca
"Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at" means that she knows enough to turn state evidence in court in exchange for immunity - DA is shaking hands to seal the deal while she is holding his.
Jim - Oslo, Norway
love the opening riff and the song as well
Jane - Austin, Tx
used to great split screen effect in the wonderful film "remember the titans'
there is a play(i'm a dreamer montreal) and used to be a guardian column about misheard lyrics:
i heard the first line as "working on my F P I" and wondered if it was some tla for getting pissed
Phrage - Dublin, Ireland
Don in KY - Both 1. and 3. are correct. He's referring to her breasts as a pair of "big guns".
R.h. - Pauls Valley, Ok
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
(He is working undercover probably busting Speak-easies back in prohibition. Blending in with the illegal underworld)
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
( He is hanging out with the illegal drinkers and about to have the cops come and bust the place up, but gets drawn off focus by the woman singer)
A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
(A "pair of 45's" is a wordplay for her breasts and he became all flustered with her stunning beauty, forgetting the mission at hand)
I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
(He's watching her walk around the place and his buddy who knows why he is really there is basically saying, I hope you can still do this in your condition. She is hot and you know she is going to get busted too. The cops come in to raid the place and he has to act fast.)
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all...
(This is the climax of the story. Basically the DA is "pumping his hand" which I interpret as putting cash in his palm as a payoff for information. While all the time, the girl whose hand he is holding is actually a criminal and should be getting busted too. He covers for her and asks to be forgiven for protecting her and shirking his duty. He can't help it because with one look he was wrecked by her beauty.)
Aerovette - Mars (so The Book Says), Ak
Until today, I never knew all the words to the song, it was hard to figure out...thn I learn that the man at the end maybe died??? the song sounds as good today as when it first aired :)
Di - Ft Smith, Ar
Allan Clarke indeed sung on the original recording of LCW. The song was also sung by Terry Sylvester on tour after Clarke left the group for awhile, causing some confusion amongst fans as to who, indeed, is the original vocalist. The song utilized a fuzz / bass, giving it its distinctive rhythm. The bass line, in my opinion, should get more credit for driving one of the great back beats in rock and roll annals. And, certainly, the opening guitar lick remains one of the best ever, with the clever double drum beats augmenting the riffs to this very cool song.
D - Roseville, Ca
I was a senior in high school when this song hit the air waves. At an all Native American boarding school, it was easily mastered. it was a hit with all the bands here at Flandreau Indian School, So.Dak.
Jake - Riverton, Wy
I have been listening to this song for 30 years...and untill the internet i was compleatly at a loss for about 60-70 % of the lyrics
John - Boston, Ma
This song HAS TO BE "One of the All Time Greatest Mystery's of Rock-n-Roll.
Write up there with Louie,Louie by The Kingsman. In the 1960's, the F.B.I. spent $TENSofTHOUSANDS$ of your hard earned dollars, investigating the song Louie,Louie. Believeing it to be some kind of attempt to over throw the Government:) After MONTHS of trying they FINALLY GAVE UP!!
Louie,Louie by, The Kingsman - written by Richard Berry - sang by Jack Ely. Is about a guy from Jamacia who misses his Girl Friend, it is filled with Jamacian slang and "DROVE the FED's NUTS!!!!!!!!!
"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was a song that was written at the last moment, when the Hollies went into the Studio to record an album and needed "ONE MORE SONG" to fill out the Album. They wrote the song in about 30 minutes and it, TURNED OUT TO BE, "ONE OF THE ALL TIME CLASSIC ROCK-N-ROLL SONGS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think if you had to pick the "10 ALL TIME Classic Rock Hits", Long Cool Woman... would ABSOLUTLY HAVE TO BE on the list!!
The Song is ABOUT:
A cop who is working "under cover" at a bar that is selling bootleg(no tax)whiskey. "Just as he was about to call up the "D.A.Man" (District Attorney) he sees this "Long Cool Woman" in a Black Dress singing a song, that makes him think twice about his "Job as a COP", as she Display's a "PAIR OF 45 inch T*TS" and a "Since about herself that "SHE is NO Ordanary chick". This One has got something special, she's "A 5'9" Beautiful Tall","SHE HAD IT ALL"!!
His buddies setting with him(Charley)even questions his ability to, Hang With THIS Chick!
"With just one look he was a Bad Mess" cause that "Long Cool Woman Had It ALL".
ALL of a Sudden with "Guns a Blazin" the Cops bust in and bust the place. By this time he(the under cover cop) has Already Fallen for the girl and as the D.A. (District Attorney) is Shaking his Left hand for a "job well done" HE is holding HER right hand, asuring her that SHE is SAFE with him "I TOLD HER DON'T GET SCARED, CAUSE YOUR GONNA BE SPARED", "I GOTTA BE FORGIVING, IF I WANNA SPEND MY LIVING" with a "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress",just a 5'9"BeautifulTall,with just one look I was a bad mess, cause that Long Cool Woman Had It ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phil - Thomasville, Nc
So far, I've seen no intelligent comments on the story of this song. I would like to know the story. Does anyone know? The DA was pumping his left hand while the long cool woman held his right. Traditionally, one shakes hands with the right. So what's going on here? Love rock and roll when it tells stories, but would like to know if anyone knows what the story is. Please advise.
Annalisa - New York, Ny
The guitar riff opening seems to have originated from "I'm Talkin' About You" by Chuck Berry. If you don't believe me, give the song a listen!
Tom - Alameda, Ca
No one has yet mentioned that this song's distinctive opening guitar riff was played by lead singer Alan Clarke, who otherwise rarely played guitar with The Hollies (why would he need to, when Tony Hicks was such a great guitarist?). Clarke is credited as co-writer along with veteran UK songsmiths Greenaway and Cooke, who once recorded a cover of The Beatles' "Michelle" as David & Jonathan.
Mike Greenfield - Youngstown, Oh
This song has got to be one of the most bada$$ songs ever made! It hits! When I searched for it I could not believe that Bus Stop woman... was by the same group! I was born one year b/f Long Cool... was put out there. What a great song! It is definitely one of my top 10!
Rich - Macedonia, Oh
1 The lyrics were harrd to make out.
2 I HATED moter-mouth DJ's babbling over the (really unique) guitar introduction too.
3 I'll have to listen to CCR again, off the top I dont hear the similarity... even if its there I doubt it apporoaches the "My Sweet Lord/He's So fine" coincidence level.
Phil - Phillie, Pa
Now, while I've always loved this song, it does have the same guitar groove as T Rex - Bang a Gong!
Phil - Cedar Rapids, Ia
I dont understand the end of the story. Did he get shot? And if so by whom? Who is being "forgivin"? And why?
Richard - Nyc, Ny
This was one of the cuts that the days of motor-mouthed DJs talking over the first 20 seconds of the song drove me straight up a wall because they drowned out that beautiful opening. Google for the lyrics, you'll get dozens of sites.
Bob - Modjeska, Ca
Ripped off who ?(Matybe Chuck or Buddy).Am I the only one to notice that the bridge is almost non existant in "Green River "? Start 'em both at the same time(I can"Name That Tune "in three notes ! That otta calm your Rip Off concerns !
Rockie - Oregon City, Or
Gee,guess I just don't get the whole "Green River" , "Long Cool Woman" connection ! I am a John Fogerty fan from way back,(don't ask). All I can say is listen to them both start at the same time .Yea , their both rockers & the bass lines MAY be alike but they ARE so different !( I can "Name That Tune" within the 1st three notes !)
Rockie - Oregon City, Or
In answer to the above question about who sang lead on "Magic Woman Touch", it was the above mentioned Mikael Rickfors. This and "The Baby" were imho the most "Hollies" sounding songs of the Rickfors/Hollies songs. They actually released 2 records with Rickfors as lead singer: Romany and Out On The Road (now available as an import on Magic Records), which was only released in Germany and I believe France (on Hansa Records), originally. Several of the songs on Out On The Road, were re-recorded with Allan Clarke back on lead vocals, on their next album, which of course featured "The Air That I Breathe".
Neil - Skokie, Il
The lyrics:
"When I heard this woman singing a song."
"A pair of 45's made me open my eyes."
What were the "Pair of 45's" refering to?
1) A pair of guns. 45 caliber.
2) A pair of 45 rpm records.
3) A big set of breasts?
4) All of the above.
I vote for answer number 4 all three.
Don - B G, Ky
This is an awesome like a possum song; one of my favorites of all time. And it does sound very much like Creedence Clearwater Revival, which is one of my favorite bands, so it's no wonder I like this song so much.
Voodoocat - Zimbabwe, United States
Ekristheth I know what you mean? If you listen to this nd "Green River" by Credence back-to-back, they sound a lot alike. The radio station where I live did that once. The only thing that separated the songs was a short comercial break. It was pretty crazy.
Stefanie - Rock Hill, Sc
The reference to a "pair of 45's" in the song does not mean she was armed. That's an old hep cat expression for a woman who was well endowed in the breast department.
Dan - San Francisco, Ca
I've spent so much time trying to figure out the guitar parts on this tune. Evan from TX, interesting theory about lead guitar being played thru a bass amp. I thought the guitar player might also be using a Capo, because the low e string sounds pretty trebly during throughout the song.
Jim - Norwood, Ma
Now if I can just figure out the lyrics to "Brass In Pocket" by the Pretenders....
Jay - Atlanta, Ga
I got into this song from the Remember the Titans soundtrack. One of my first fav rock songs, this was my favorite on that album and I always turn it up on the radio.
Johnny - Los Angeles, Ca
i'm pretty sure that the guitar effect is made from plugging in a guitar into a bass amplifier, which creates the bassey guitar sound.
Evan - Flower Mound, Tx
There is no question that Credence influenced the guitar riffs and even some of the vocal style on this wonderful song. When it was first released and being played on WLS, I invariably heard the opening chords and thought "there's Credence... Oh." To this day, it takes me a few seconds to discern whether this is one of my Credence tracks. The correct lyrics are available at leoslyrics.com.
Ekristheh - Halath, United States
I Love this song!!! It is one of the Hollie's greatest hits!
Amy - Grimshaw, Canada
A pair of 45's ... besides the obvious reference to her decolletage, 45's are a pretty powerful handgun (and then the tie-in to the whole shoot-em-up thing). A double-entendre and a pun in the same line ... sweet.
Tom - Los Angeles, Ca
Whenever I hear it, I think of those "film noir" genre of movies from the 1950's. The detective sitting in the trashy office behind a big, wooden desk ... and in comes this fine, 5' 9" bombshell ... also think of Bogie and Bacall in "To Have And Have Not" ...
Tom - Los Angeles, Ca
Even after all these years, it's still one of the few I crank it up when I hear it. Love the reverb on the lead vocal and that guitar with the emphasis on the treble tones. Now THAT'S music :-)
Tom - Los Angeles, Ca
Part of the rythmic and smoky character of LCWIABD has always been its mostly indecipherable lyrics puncutated by the shadowy unobtainable woman.. Its a two beat "name that tune" for maybe the best r&r song ever recorded. I would like to know more about its history...where the idea came from, why a pair of 45's??...seems a bit, pardon the expression, over the top. Caedan, Chicago
Terry - Chicago, Il
Sorry, it must be : Me too, I love this song, so
different than the other hits of the Hollies, there is a great beat on it. I would like to hear it more on the radio.
Teresa - Mechelen, Belgium
Me too, I love this song, so different than the other hits of the Hollies, there is a good beat on it. I would like to hear it more in the radio.
Teresa - Mechelen, Belgium
One of my first 45's - played it over and over and over again. Disagree w/ the Green River comment - guitar riffs are quite different. Not sure anybody really knows what is said before "My temperature started to rise" :>
John - Housotn, Tx
This will always be for me one of those songs that when I hear it on the radio, I listen all the way to the end.
I would like to know the guitar intro.
Tom - Avoca, Sd
This was not the only Creedence influenced song done by the Hollies. The Hollies also had the other song: "The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam Mcgee". I never heard the song, I just heard of it, so I do not know it.
Brandon - Seattle, Wa
This song was in the movie "Remember the Titans" (2000)
Victor - Vienna, Va
I agree with brandon, this song does sound very similar to CCR
Kabrams - Dallas, Tx
Still sounds great after all these years!!
Machi - Atlanta, Ga
anybody know who sang lead on Magic Woman Touch, seems to be one of these rare Hollies Tracks as I'm Down
Pete - Nowra, Australia
I love this song!! I didn't know this was their only song without backing vocals, very interesting
Melissa - Lansing, Mi
I could never makeout the lyrics. Hopefully someone will post them
Sulima - Chicago, Il

Not all clutch three-pointers are made the same, as Carmelo Anthony showed on Sunday against Chicago. His threes to tie and win the Easter classic came with at least 10 seconds left in the game but caught the Bulls unaware each time precisely because of the timing.
But sometimes you don't have that luxury of time he did. In fact, 18 times this season before Sunday, a three-pointer in the last 20 seconds has taken the lead, according to Basketball Reference. Twelve came within the last 10 seconds; nine within the final 5 ticks.
So in the spirit of Anthony's shots that would have made Sam Cassell do his swing-swing celebration, here are this year's top 10 clutch three-pointers, ranked by how late they were made.
10. Denver's Ty Lawson made his three to take the lead against Sacramento on March 5 from 24 feet after using the small hop to keep his defender back. Anticipating a drive and dish, the Kings got beat by a confident stroke from deep.
9. Hint: This isn't Kevin Durant's sole entry on this list. On this shot on March 23 he calmly walks his defender to the line, steps back and fires. Interestingly, KD is just 6-of-24 in three-pointers in the last 2 minutes of games with the score within five points, but two of them made this list.
8. Denver's Danilo Gallinari took a toss from Nene like a running back and drilled a three to go up one on Atlanta with 3.9 seconds left on March 13. This could very well be the most difficult shot to make on this whole list, what with Josh Smith and Joe Johnson all over him, while fading away in the corner. This is the type of shot you practice in your driveway without considering actually shooting it in a game.
7. If you're Dallas do you run two guys at Kobe and risk Derek Fisher wide open? The Mavs did on Jan. 16 and he hit a "dagger three" in front of Dirk to win with 3.1 seconds left.

What better way to celebrate the holiday season than by creating a festive — and edible — holiday decoration that has been a Christmas tradition for centuries: gingerbread!
Every so often a book comes along that completely entrances us. A spell seems to fall over my kids as we are reading, and when we are done, a small sigh is offered up as we reconnect with reality.
This year, why not shop locally for your holiday presents? Jabberwocky Children's Books, an independent children's bookstore that has graced downtown Fredericksburg for over twenty years, has a wide selection and knowledgeable staff. Like most bookstores, they will special order any book they don't have in stock.
While you're shopping locally, look for books by local authors. We are lucky to have a talented group of writers and illustrators for children in this area, many of whom I have come to know over the years. Here are just a few suggestions.
Nine months before Rosa Parks made history, a fifteen-year-old girl was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Claudette Colvin was well aware of the convoluted rules about where blacks could sit on the city buses, but on this day she decided not to obey the bus driver's command to give up her seat. She was arrested and eventually convicted of assault and violating the segregation law.
Deemed too emotional to become the public face of the civil rights cause, Colvin has been a footnote to history for the last fifty years. But that has changed with the publication of Philip Hoose's "Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice," winner of this year's National Book Award for Young People's Literature.
Thanksgiving disasters usually take the form of dried-out turkey or not enough mashed potatoes. But for the Peterkin family, proper Victorians all, Thanksgiving disaster strikes when their dinner simply disappears. In "The Peterkins' Thanksgiving," Elizabeth Spurr has adapted one of Lucretia Hale's charming stories about this hapless family into a picture book edition illustrated with cheerful whimsy by Wendy Anderson Halperin.
Bored? Nothing to do? Jump into a cozy picture book on a winter night. Troublesome trolls and a beauty's Beast! Helpful hedgehogs and polite polar bears! Whether you find yourself surrounded by swirling snowflakes or a chilly blue twilight, there are no better companions for winter's frozen brightness than Jan Brett's tales from the European tradition. Read our author profile for more.
Oliver Olson's problem is over-protective parents. When his third grade teacher opens a space unit by asking, "How many of you would like to walk on the moon?", Oliver doesn't raise his hand. "Oliver's parents would never let him walk on the moon. The moon was too far away. It was too cold. It didn't have enough gravity. The rocket might explode." And when his teacher announces that the whole class is invited to a space sleepover at school, he knows he won't be allowed to go. Ever since Oliver was a sickly preschooler, his parents have worried about him too much.
Right now there is a sick kid upstairs, reading and coughing. And laughing, in between coughs. "Mom, this book is hilarious!" he manages to squeak out, somewhat breathlessly. When I ask what the book is, I'm told, "This Book is Not Good For You," which doesn't sound like a promising read when you are ill. The plot summary includes something about adventure, chocolate, and kidnapping. And a narrator who writes himself into the story, sometimes even falling asleep for pages at a time.
If your children watched the "Baby Einstein" videos, but failed to turn into geniuses, you can get your money back. A recently settled suit against Disney, the owner of the popular series, asserts that the claim that the videos are educational is unfair and deceptive. Parents can get a refund of $15.99 for up to four of the videos.
Fortunately, at least one way to help your child to grow intellectually is free and widely available. You guessed it – reading to your child from books you can borrow from your local public library. Not only is it free, but numerous studies show the benefits of early read-aloud sessions. Just pick up one of our "Every Child Ready to Read" brochures, and plunge in!
A recent New York Times article on school reading has been making the rounds among librarians, teachers and parents. In "A New Assignment: Pick Books You Like," Motoko Rich reports on the "reading workshop" model of engaging middle school students in reading. Unlike the traditional assignments, where the whole class reads and analyzes a classic book together, this approach encourages kids to choose their own titles. "If your goal is simply to get them to read more, choice is the way to go," says one literacy professor.
At local middle schools, even kids with assigned reading can participate in a voluntary reading program. Café Book, a collaboration between the public library and eight middle schools in Fredericksburg, Stafford and Spotsylvania, encourages seventh and eighth graders to read from a list of twenty new books, discuss them during lunch periods, and vote on their favorites.

With the Washington Capitals on their only western road swing of the season, the upside for the NHL is that it can feel as if the circus has come to town for a rare visit to a settlement not on the regular circuit.
Come to think of it, the seven Ringling Brothers (with Charles' renowned blast from the point), P.T. Barnum, James Bailey and the animal trainers could have at least fielded a decent lineup -- with a few clowns on the fourth line.
And on this swing, Alexander Ovechkin is the center-ring star.
Is he aware of that?
"I don't know, you must ask them," Ovechkin said with a smile after the Capitals' 5-3 win in Denver on Wednesday night. "If you ask me, I don't know."
Well, the answer is a resounding yes, and that is both a boon and a problem, depending on whether you're looking at it from the perspective of a selfish Atlantic Division executive who would love to have 20 games against each intradivisional rival and nothing else, and from perspective of the league office (or from the perspective from virtually anywhere else).
Honest, this wasn't, and still isn't, intended to be another rant about the schedule format that the NHL will stick with, at least through next season.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt and the e-mails.
But the point is, this is one of the reasons the system stinks.
After playing in Denver, the Caps move on to Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, and then, as incredible as this seems, don't have another game outside of the Eastern time zone the rest of the 2006-07 season.
They never have to change their watches, but the fans, and especially the season-ticket holders who pay the freight in this league, are being short-changed.
Watching Ovechkin on Wednesday night, whether from the Pepsi Center seats or the press box or even from the Colorado bench, drove home, or should have driven home, the point that there's nothing quite like seeing a superstar in person.
That's going to be the case in Western Canada over the next few days. Fans are going to walk into General Motors Place, Rexall Place and the Pengrowth Saddledome, knowing that this almost certainly is going to be their only opportunity in a three-season cycle to see Ovechkin.
The sense of anticipation and excitement is palpable.
"That's good for me," Ovechkin said. "When fans say that, you feel it's very important to you, when you know that the fans want to see what you can do. When fans say that about me, I'm happy, I'm glad."
You read, you watch television, you see the incredible one-handed, no-look, sliding goal against Phoenix last season, you know this just-turned-21 Russian is that good.
Yet seeing him in person is individual confirmation, and the experiences would be similar with Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Wayne Gretzky recently brought up Mike Bossy's scoring touch and Mark Messier's passion when discussing Ovechkin, which should be taken both as a ringing endorsement and cause for even more anger in both Edmonton and Phoenix. At 6-foot-2 and 212 pounds, Ovechkin is big enough, and he plays "big" in the physical sense, unlike some of his Russian predecessors. It could also make some hope that Ted Leonsis tires of trying to make a go of it in downtown Washington and moves the franchise to the other Washington. (No way is that happening, but )
That is not meant to imply that Ovechkin puts on a mouth-dropping performance every night the puck is dropped, but you have the opportunity to focus on him, to follow him, to take him in amid a bigger picture, and to walk away knowing more than ever, "That's one of the Greatest Shows in the game." Even if he hasn't been amazing that night, you understand the phenomenon better than you did when you parked the car in the arena lot.
In Denver, he got a power-play goal, beating Peter Budaj to the short side from the left circle. In the opening seconds of the third period, he checked Colorado defenseman Karlis Skrastins, and the impact shattered the penalty box glass, leading to a cleanup delay.
What was more exciting, scoring the goal or breaking the glass?
"Breaking the glass, I think," he said. "First time. I was surprised. 'Wow, I'm stronger!'"
He did a lot more than that, including giving the Capitals palpitations when he took a shot to the leg in the final seconds and had to be helped off the ice. But he was walking fine after the game, so unless it swelled up or otherwise became a problem overnight, it won't be an issue.
"He's OK," said Capitals coach Glen Hanlon. Smiling, he added, "Unfortunately for him, he has no choice."
That drew laughter, because all around him knew exactly what he meant: Ovechkin is a true headliner.
"I thought he did great," Hanlon said of Ovechkin's night. "He scored one, had a couple of really good scoring chances, and you don't normally see 50-goal scorers blocking shots. He does so many things well, and as you can see, he's a real physical presence with the hit that he threw at the start of the third period. He's just a great, great person for our franchise."
Did Hanlon understand why fans, including some walking into the Pepsi Center's Blue Sky Grill a few feet away for a postgame cocktail and conversation about Ovechkin, might be steamed that this was their only chance to see the Capitals in at least one 123-game cycle?
"It's a good point," Hanlon said. "I was speaking with [Caps GM] George McPhee today [about drawing] up the pros and cons of the divisional schedules and playing in your own division eight times. Being a family guy, I certainly enjoy the days at home instead of traveling the extra 30 days. But as a hockey fan, I don't think it's fair that some cities don't get to see a couple of our players. I don't really know what the answer is."
On a night when Olaf Kolzig made 45 saves and Joe Sakic got his 1,500th point, Ovechkin was the focal point for many.
"There are only so many players like that who come along every so often," said Capitals defenseman Mike Green, who actually is 25 days younger than Ovechkin. "I guess it's frustrating, especially for Canadian fans. They love their hockey. They'll get a chance to see him here. I don't know, make sure you get your tickets!"
Kolzig said he "totally" understands the frustration over seeing Ovechkin only once every three seasons.
"It's the same for us," he said. "It's always a nice change of pace to get away from the East Coast and come out to some great cities like Denver and Phoenix and L.A. and Vancouver. When you're only doing that once every three years, and Raleigh [four] times and Sunrise, Florida, players can get stale, so I can understand their frustration. I hope they go back to the old format."
And the fans in the West are missing a rare combination of maturity and talent.
"You see so many young kids come in the league, and the skill is there, but it's the maturity level that takes a while to develop," Kolzig said. "Alex, from day one last year, just wanted to fit in with the team so badly. He wanted to room with a North American guy, wanted to learn the language, wanted to learn the culture. He was part of the dressing room from day one. There was no sitting off in the corner by yourself and taking everything in. He dove right in and became part of the team, and I think that contributed to how he played last year. He felt comfortable on the ice."
All of this cuts both ways, of course. The fans in the East don't get enough opportunities to see, at least not in person, Jonathan Cheechoo or, for that matter, Joe Thornton any longer.
But at least, at this point, the West is getting the short end of the stick.

Located on the east coast next to Boat Lagoon, in the small development after passing through the security gate, a 6 metre wide road to the villa.
The property features a private gym, security, CCTV, extensive landscaping and underground wiring (electric,
broadband/wireless, telephone, cable tv).
The houses have been designed in an L-shape so that each and every room of the house enjoys fabulous view to
both the pool and garden.
There is one master suite and two additional bedrooms, all very generous in sizes. Also an open plan living
and dining area, which may open up thanks to extensive use of aluminum
folding doors.
The house is also, of course, air conditioned throughout should you prefer a cooler indoor climate. All a/c
units have been put away on the roof so they can not been or heard.Both exterior and interior design is modern and based on a concept of easy living.
The developers of the property have also secured water supply for each house by constructing a very large underground water tank, holing up to 180 cubic metres. Rain water is collected from the roof.
Welcome for yearly rental.
