Otherwise it's an excellent parody. Thanks. We'll see how similar Leno's own jokes turn out to be. I bet I'll like my "Fiji" line more than most of what he comes up with. ;) > But no "Gilligan" reference (coconuts)? Oh well... I'm going to predict "no" on a Gilligan reference, but we'll see. Particularly because Bob Denver may be too freshly dead to joke about. Seems like there should be a line about Jagger's response, but I couldn't come up with a gag. Anyone? "Of course, you know how competitive he and Mick Jagger are. So, not to be outdone, today Mick fell off the wagon." Mmmm...not sure about that one. You try.

Oof. * Yup, his real name is Scott Engel IIRC. I was listening to an interview on Radio 2 the other day where John Maus (pronounced 'mouse') was saying how the band were making very little impact on the West Coast, and Gary Leeds had the great idea of moving them to London, which I am reliably informed (by Roger Miller) was 'swinging' at the time. They were a huge hit, even after Scott discovered the unlistenable music of Jacque Brel... - - Mike "bought another guitar yesterday" Godwin PS Would anybody like to sing "St James Infirmary Blues" tonight?
