I believe he literally says "Blue dwarf... red star!" on the playout. 
Wonder what gives with the King Of Comedy reference, then?

So is there actually a version of the Dim Stars record without that
song, or did they just delete the whole thing?  ISTR it was on
Caroline... aren't they way-beyond-out-of-business anyhow?

DESTINY STREET is really good.  Used to be underrated but I feel like
its stature has risen in recent years.  I rate it higher than some of
those much-praised records Lou Reed was doing with Quine around the
same time (or slightly later).  Possibly because I can hear Quine's
guitar on DESTINY STREET!
