Raquel Welch, image via WikipediaBy BOB ANDELMAN (email) Mr. Media Radio Also Raquel WelchRaquel Welch is… well, c’mon, she’s Raquel Welch!

Curt Smith, image by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla via FlickrBy BOB ANDELMAN (email) Here’s a Tears For Fears story I guarantee you haven’t heard before: I was the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times in 1985, assigned to review a Tears For Fears concert.
