Taft Show (was Re: Last night...)

I enjoyed the show last night as well.

Notable Points:
- Margo mentioned during the show that McGwire had just hit his 62nd
homer, and told of a rumor she had heard about the taxes put on the person
who catches the ball. 
- Margo thinks Linford's blue shirt makes him handsome
- Linford's hammond sounds almost like is was written directly or some of 
CJ's songs
- Margo noted that she really enjoyed having some girls around and there
was some song where she accused Karin of always trying to make her laugh
while she was singing it

OtR sounded good, but, as others, I was also disapointed that OtR only
played 8 songs. They haven't been playing "Goodbye" recently either, I
suppose, which I see as a real tradgedy. 

It was good seeing Bruce again, as always, as well as Damian. Even if
Bruce does try to force his Duran Duran obsession upon everyone in his
path. LOL
