Harry Connick entertains me from time to time, but I don't ever really 
listen to his music on purpose, if you catch my drift.

Norah Jones, on the other hand...bores me to tears.  I saw the video 
for...whatever her current single is, and it did NOTHING for me.  The 
Run D.M.C. mini-marathon that followed a few hours later was much 
better, and I didn't even perticularly like them.  (speaking of which, 
shame that.  I mean, I understand things happening to Easy E and the ol' 
2-Pack Shaker - they were pretty well the epitome of gansta' rap.  Run 
DMC, on the other hand, seemed to be rather peaceful guys and genuinely 
musical.

Nope, sorry.  I just get to hear about the "next Nirvana" or perhaps the 
"next Radiohead" if I'm lucky.

(More consciousness to stream at you:  Does liking South Park make me a 
bad person?  I truly think the show is some of the best satire on TV 
these days.  Most other shows stick with "safe" topics, while South Park 
makes it a point to make people uneasy, and I love the show for it.)

Over, out, zzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
