In case anyone wants to follow me and vice versa.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

OK Spidra, I'm following you.
Um... how did you get that URL for your Ping profile?
Cntrl-click or right-click on your name in your profile. Took me a while to figure that out.
You are followed.
Cupcakes in Hell? Sounds like the Safeway bakery dept.

Appleās Ping Launch is a Dud, But The Web is Alive with the Sound of Music
A little long but very interesting.
John Lennon's Imagine and Van Halen's Jump are a lot more alike than you'd think: [link]
Susan Boyle Walks Off 'America's Got Talent'
TMZ has learned Susan Boyle has left Los Angeles in tears after being snubbed by a songwriter who refused to let her sing one of his hits on "America's Got Talent."
Susan arrived to L.A. earlier today to perform the song "Perfect Day" on the show.
Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... producers needed permission from the songwriter, Lou Reed -- the former lead singer for The Velvet Underground and famous for "Walk on the Wild Side" -- but at the last minute they were informed that Reed refused permission because he isn't a Boyle fan.
When Boyle found out, she dissolved into tears -- unprepared to change her tune for the show.
We're told Boyle went to LAX this afternoon -- still in tears -- and is catching a flight back to London.
"America's Got Talent" refused to comment.
Lou is kind of an ass, huh? (I mean in general.)
Someone was an ass to not get the rights and/or not tell her that until the day she was supposed to perform it.
I call stunt.
