It is always fun to try to convince a store clerk that they have mis-shelved something. They usually get a blank, scared look. I remember 25 years ago trying to convince a kid at the local record store that Grand Funk Railroad did NOT belong in the country and western section. He told me, "but it has "railroad" in the name, it must be a country band." I'm surprised that happens at a large chain type store (Barnes & Noble, Borders?) only because I didn't think any decisions were left up to the clerks. I assume the computer at corporate HQ on Mt. Olympus decrees exactly where each CD and book will be placed. Steve R. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Got a little couch potato?

I am with you on that Desianto... no one else can even be there with her... Her own special category. I was sick yesterday and today wanted to get out of the house so I did some banking and a post office stop. I put on the extended remixes and started singing along... I sang along not remembering that I was sick and at the end of a song remembered how I did NOT have the energy to do what I did. I smiled at my devotion to the music over a devotion to my body. I had an silly imagination of losing a bunch of weight and singing with her when she tours... I smiled at that thought too.. I just continue to love the music. Now... off to bed to recoup.
