Is there anything new that compares the Riviera facade
or the old Stardust?

Man, what a sight to behold while walking the north Strip

I remember at some point reading something about the song being tied to her,
but I did not know all of the background information. I also did not know
that Paul(!) played drums on that and on "Back In The U.S.S.R." Interesting
