Laurie,
I remember this reference, too. And it was Henley, with a really
irritating organ riff repeating and repeating in the background.

I disagree, though, with his statement that a "bubblehead" isn't used to
describe a person. I know I've heard it used in this context before. As
an example: in "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley (or was it Glenn Frey -- I
always mix up those ex-Eagles), he sings about the "bubbleheaded bleached
blonde" on the news, doesn't he? I suppose in this context it's
adjectival, but take my word for it, I've heard it used as a noun, at
least in the St. Louis, Missouri area. It means roughly the same as
"airhead".
