Christmas Angels

So, the season is upon us. Such as it is.

Notes ... two of my favorite Christmas songs are "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues & Kirsty MacColl and "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses. Sad irony is that both Patty Donahue [lead singer of the Waitresses, and New Wave sex icon] and Kirsty died right before Christmas, Dec. 9, 1996 and Dec. 18, 2000 respectively. Patty was 40 and Kirsty was 41.

Love them both.

Jane Siberry popped her renamed head up due to journalistic interest in the Radiohead "The Music Should Be Free, Man" thing ... does anybody else think that Joni Mitchell should call these people up and give them the "You're acting like a bunch of tourists" Isle of Wight speech? Didn't we resolve that the music couldn't be free back in the 1960s? Who are these hippies?
