If Jordin had gone home before Chris that would have been a travesty.

Next week we lose two at one time though.

I came to appreciate his music later in life though I did like a few of his songs when I was young.

I had a huge crush on Farrah Fawcett. Being a nerd with glasses it was my fantasy to show up at a High Scool function with her as my date!!!!!

BTW - Aren't you in Canada? Do they have a "Canadian Idol"?

Who is Geddy Lee?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Geddy Lee was the bass player for a Canadian Heavy Metal Band ,Rush I'm sure Monkeyman knows whom I speak of.

Despite his girth and with enough pharmeceuticals in his system to make remembering a few lyrics difficult, he gave an amazing concert that in particular pleased the thousands of girls there from the ages of 8 to 80 (probably older).

Hey I had tickets to that concert, but my husband got out of the Air Force and didn't want to wait two weeks before going back to his home state.

I had ring side seats too. Sold them.

Wow! I had mediocre seats but I had some binoculars with me and I also got up and walked way down front and stood and watched him perform close up for a little while. Security was not anything like it is these days at a concert.

They played that piece of classical music that is in 2001 A Space Odyssey as the build up to Elvis coming on stage and by the time the music peaked and he stepped out in the spotlight that place was going wild!!!! I have never seen so many lightbulbs popping off at one time in my life as every woman there got their souvineer snapshots proving they saw Elvis in person.
