She will love it! It was really cool. I don’t know how they didn’t smack into each other.

Sarah Brightman annoys me.

Glynnis McCants!! She and R. Gary Patterson (The Rock and Roll Myth guy) were my favorite guests when I listened “religiously” a few years ago.

I’m really surprised Sarah B. is performing. She has a unique style.

The thing about a fireworks display in China is you can’t tell the grand finale. The whole damn thing looks like a grand finale!

This was an interpretative dance symbolizing the bird flu virus outbreak of 2005.
