He'll get around much better and less painfully now, having shed 130 pounds recently. (Heather)

Ah Yes! Jo Jo Laine. She claims she is Jo Jo in the song Get Back is her. She had a great deal to do with the trouble between Denny and Paul. I guess she is Jo Jo from Back in the USSR as well.

I wish I could find a BB1200 in that sunburst finish. Granted I haven't looked to terribly hard, but they seem hard to come by. Glad you like the shot Fran.

Well, if I see a BB1200 available in "Brown Stain" (!)which is what Yamaha calls it, i'll blab here. Jo Jo must be full of **** or herself. Somehow I doubt any JJ references are about her.

I just hope that Paul's next cd (why are they still called albums) is back to rock instead of piano blah. Chaos is good but I would love to hear something more rocking.

Well, the cd after the classical one coming out next month. Actually that music is from 2001 or so and is now getting released.

Album is a media independent term. Many people associate it the word with vinyl LP's but an album is really just a collection of related items - photo album. You can still call a band's CD an album.

Thank you Ted! It drives me crazy that when you say album they think you are from another planet.

Another one that gets me are the previews on DVD's when the voice over says "coming soon on DVD and Video". What DVD's have no "video". It should say DVD and Cassette.

Don't even get me started on AOL's "You've got mail". You've? Isn't that short for you have? So AOL is saying you have got mail. No wonder our children can't read or write.

Sorry for the rant lads!

What next, Snoop Dog will be appointed to the advisory board of the Oxford English Dictionary? The slow but steady decline of the English language......

At least Snoop Dog knows he is butchering the english language. I think that is the point! However, AOL... yikes!

That is true. At least Snoop has a purpose. Now, about Rosie Perez.....
