JAMES TAYLOR HICKS

Right now, in 2007, do you think more Americans know who James Taylor is or who Taylor Hicks is?
Yes, I'm a little disturbed by the answer, too.

Here's the good thing about going prematurely bald, by the way. Between the ages of 30 and 60 nobody makes catty remarks about how much you've aged.

.......

Wow, Melissa Etheridge sure has aged. And the odd thing is, she USED TO BE bald.

What's going on behind Melissa, by the way? Some liminal (as opposed to subliminal) environmentally conscious propaganda, it looks like. That's all fine. I'm pro-planet. It's just funny that in the last hour I've now been bombarded with messages about CO and CO2. We've turned into Carbon Nation.

Yo, what's Leo DiCaprio doing onstage with Norv Turner? Maybe I should turn off my "Mute" button and find out (I just hit "Mute" when Melissa began singing).

Leo just announced that for the first time, Oscar has gone green. Oh, I think Oscar's been all about green for a long time.
