>I'm loving that Ben Folds CD.

I'm waiting patiently by the mailbox for mine to arrive. After hitting the 
local Best Buy, and they didn't have any, I just ordered it online.  Ben is 
one of very few contemporary artists that I have just fallen in love with - 
my son turned me onto him, and he thinks I ordered the CD for him. Ha! I 
might let him listen to it.

>his cover of "Tiny Dancer" is superb. Lots of similarities between him & 
>Sir Elton anyway.

I have heard this comparison made before, and I just don't get it.  The 
first person that popped into my head upon hearing Ben Folds Five was Randy 
Newman. That sardonic smart ass wit combined with heart rending poignancy - 
nothing like Sir Elton, except that he plays the piano.

>the Tom Petty really blows.

Well, different strokes I guess.  I got the Petty CD, and I kinda like it, 
although I've never been a big fan.  I'm even gonna spring for concert 
tickets - of course, that's really because Jackson Browne is the opening 
act- but I'm looking forward to the show.
