Must remember: Chinese pesticide residues, Chinese pesticide residues...the most earth-shatteringly important news story to hit since...gosh...Kiko-sama's giving birth to a boy.

Nothing to do about it but blast Okuda Tamio covering Led Zep.

    Hey, it's Thursday, and it's still slip-slidin' away. You're so chirpy, I can tell you don't play the stock market.

    So, wanna do a Simon&Garfunkel cover?

    Speaking of whom, I saw Mr. Garfunkel sing at a benefit a few years back, and it was sad, his upper register was gone. Linda Ronstadt has lost it too. In every which way.

    Growin' up is hard to do...

    G'day, and a qmvuxrub to you too.

    The hardest to bear is Sinead O'Connor's complete loss of voice.

    As for Okuda Tamio's performance of "Black Dog", it is very possible he takes the low road not because he cannot hit the notes but because Robert Plant (smart guy) would sing in the lower register in his live performances.
