I saw Mercury Rev on the tele (Oz TV... because I live with the wizard) the other night and they did (quite a fine) cover of 'when you wish upon a star'. And a Dylan cover as well, He was a friend (of mine?). Interesting. Does covering a Disney song make you less cool?
I once travelled to Boston, England in a little car, with my American friend, listening to his greatest hits tape. He was from California, USA, and lived out of a rucksack, and as such had only brought this one tape with him. It was a mixture of Bruce Springsteen and Disney Classics, and he sang along to it all the way. Um, this is just an anecdote really, I've just realised it doesn't actually have a point. On the way we passed a town called Elton and we wished that John had come cos it would have made a funny photo. I got some tickets for Nalda Said in Nottingham yesterday and the girl behind the counter said something to the effect that we didn't really need them because no-one was going. She was a moody tart, though. I think she'd missed her vocation in the fish and chip shop. Have I ever said how I used to think it was my vocation to be a vicar? Does anyone else think that people are really made to do certain jobs and mostly choose the wrong ones? I do. It's like hands and gloves. I bought some gloves and a hat from an honest market trader last week, after he convinced me that they were the finest quality, and selling like hot cakes, guv'nor. The hat was quite nice, so I bought them. When I got home I found I had been flogged two left-handed gloves! Honest market trader, my arse! So now I don't like the hat so much either because it brings back ugly memories of the gloves. Steve wrote:

Gee, Steve, that's the most American sentence I've ever seen. Sarah-san wa kawaii desu. Whatever this means, I think it's probably appropriate. Oi! Gimme back me apples!
