It's a narrow wavelength we've devised

vovatWell, unlike I had guessed, the new lineup of Queen DIDN'T actually play on Wednesday's American Idol episode. Incidentally, next week, the contestants will be singing Rod Stewart songs. I guess that it's an attempt at balance, since hardly anybody can sing as well as Freddy Mercury, while, on the other hand, hardly anybody can sing WORSE than Rod Stewart. And that's pretty much all I have to say on that subject. Well, okay, I also have to ask why Ace Young is still on the show. I don't really care THAT much who wins and who loses, but I just don't understand that guy's appeal. Who's voting for him, aside from his five brothers and Paula Abdul (assuming she's eligible to vote, which she probably isn't)?
I heard on the radio that Michael Jackson might be selling the rights to the Beatles catalog. If anyone has a spare billion dollars lying around, this could be a great investment opportunity! {g}
The new They Might Be Giants podcast is kind of mediocre. It's mostly just live recordings of familiar songs. But it's cool to hear "Contrecoup" and "Chaos By Design" again, even though I'd heard both of them before (many times in the case of the latter, but only a few for the former).
I don't think I'm going to be doing the weekly posts on lyrics and other song-related issues anymore. I've been consdering doing an entry about my favorite lyrical puns, but I can't really think of that many examples offhand. I'll probably do this eventually, but not this week. I also sort of want to do a post on my favorite album covers. And beyond that, who knows? Does anyone have any ideas? Or, for that matter, any ideas as to non-music-related topics I should address? Yeah, I know. It's my journal, and you have enough trouble coming up with topics for your OWN journal entries. But if you DO have any suggestions, let me know.
