There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Guys, Hoy thinks Phil Collins has 10 great songs. Heston's poll impalement is mere distraction from the real warcrime.

But that seems like a remarkable talent that I don't think George Michael had.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I dig Careless Whisper. The sax is super dated, but the chorus is a great melody.

Can we crowdfund a doorbell for Murph's place that plays the sax riff?

Re: If I lose this poll I will retire from making polls
George Michael gave writing credits to Andrew Ridgely on several songs that he contributed nothing because he was a good bloke and wanted his mate to be rich!
