I was not available for the meeting with Peter Elbling that Thursday morning but it went well and I was told he was a delightful and charming man. I wish I could have attended but knowing that it went well was satisfying in itself.
As we discuss whether or not to call, it comes to my attention that throughout all the planning for Phantompalooza 2, I have been the only one in contact with Archie; my name is the only one he knows, so it falls to me to try his number.
As I talk with Archie he explains to me that we can recognize him because he’ll be wearing a red dress with a yellow umbrella.

Swan (Paul Williams) is the mysterious king of rock 'n' roll; not a performer himself, he's an entrepreneur, a womanizing reclusive millionaire, who packages acts.
He's just giving up on the retro-50s group The Juicy Fruits (Harold Oblong, Jeffrey Commanor, Archie Hahn) as the movie opens, looking for a new sound to open his rock palace The Paradise.
