Roger Whittaker – The Last Farewell, K Tel and another TV advertisement

Knute Rimkus— just back from a delightful tropical vacation where he was steeped in cocktails, dazzled by sunsets and frequently massaged in a former Spanish colony— was asked the following question by East Portland Blog:

“Do you have any memories, funny stories, comedy riffs, etc. related to this old song?” (Referring to the divisive Roger Whittaker classic, “The Last Farewell”)

Mr. Rimkus’ indignant reply went as follows:

“…only that I am now extremely pissed at you for re-implanting that tortuous song of insipidness back in my brain!

Gawd, I can hear that f@#%g K-tel ad grinding it’s way thru my psyche with all his “Hits”…. ugh.”
