Agreed, and were I not one day away from Christmas vacation, I might have been less harsh in my initial reply. Probably not, but maybe. Tom's list, while not without its entertainment value, is no different than a typical night with the Spears family. Guinness is always available to folks at the TVorNotTV message board who visit "America's Finest City." Even those who like Clay. And I don't dislike Coldplay, but I don't own any Coldplay albums, either. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
