Steve Miller Band
The first lyrics of the song read, “Kim, come and play the drum.” This song was written as an invitation to drummer Kim Kopko of the band, The Black and Blues, to, as the next lyrics call, “come and join the fun.” Although it was believed at the time that Steve was reaching out to a recently departed lady friend. The lyrics make more sense that way. Perhaps it worked,...

The meaning of Fred Basset
The nature and intention of the Fred Basset strip can best be understood by reading several strips together, as in the Annuals. Read singly, the strips can seem too abstract by themselves.
