I didn't know. I may have to turn in my pop nerd ID bracelet.

Yes, WCH, and please return the favor.

N.B. You can get the whole enchilada (30 tracks) for 24 credits on eMusic.

I agree with you, 1234, but keep in mind that winning elections is always on the minds of those who walk the halls of power. The public debate may be a smokescreen, but those in power can and do use it to their advantage. Many of those who are most vocal in opposition are Republican politicians. They clearly believe…

That's what I get for stepping away from the computer once in a while.

I do not honestly think that. Elvis is untouchable. But I mention it as an iconic instance. My mother, a teen in Seattle in the 50s, tells me she was only allowed to listen to Chuck Berry because they didn't put his picture on the cover of the 45.

Ain't no party like a Scranton party 'cause a Scranton party don't stop

Not to be lecherous, but please explain. This must be one of the (countless) reasons I don't understand women because it makes no sense to me at all.

Amen. Can we stop, in general, reusing the hackneyed coinages that are foisted upon us by ad executives?

Cool, I'll get 'em both. Thanks again.
