Based on the above text, it sounds like his death might have been a relief. :( Boy, are these the Bad Karma Games for the USA or what?

Also in the band were Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin from REM. I joined the set with a killer version of 8 Miles High!" Did anyfeg go? How was it?

Steve Coogan's performance (as Tristram, his father, and himself) was as delightfully contrived as the book itself.

I don't know why we have any of the judged sports, anyway. After all, we have seen how corrupt the judges can be (the pairs competition in Salt Lake City being only the most obvious example). I mean, if you have to have an arbitrary judge to determine who wins, is it really a sport or just an exhibition like a debate? On another note, I wish they would get rid of women's gymnastics altogether. The way they do it at the international level amounts to child abuse.
