More cowbell

Thank you for all the kind words about Monday's cowbell humour. I'm glad it was so well recieved! (Although I was a bit disappointed to learn that, as far as excessive cowbell enthusiasm goes, I was totally beaten to the punch by Christopher Walken.)

In any event, it sounds like there is a lot of support out there for a mandatory cowbell Parental Advisory. Perhaps this be the 2008 election's "big issue". It's up to you, America!

Makin' it easy

For those in need of a refresher... the "Island of Lies" and it's population of not-actually-dead musicians was first introduced in the Return of the King storyline, and was revisited once since then.

Everybody has their favourite novelty cowbell song. (Everybody.) But for my money it's hard to beat the pure excess of the Beatles' Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey, where relentless clanging dominates nearly the entire left stereo channel. I would never say anything bad about the Beatles... but I might thoroughly imply it, if you know what I am saying.

Relations

What a curious world we live in! At least now I can stop worrying about Roger offending too many parents -- unless, of course, he ever falls in love with a disembodied foot and decides to start a family.

Have a nice weekend, everyone. Our story continues on Monday!
