Ok...I'll check it out if it's still on next week.

I read your interesting autobiography.

You are only the second human being I am aware of (my wife being the first) who actually drinks Dr. Pepper.

And she, though otherwise a perfect saint of a woman and the love of my life...drinks it out of the CAN!

It's more fun near the beginning, the cattle calls are hilarious, with the judges (all of whom know what they're talking about, they've all been very successful in aspects of pop music) telling somebody they're no good and the person argues. Simon, who's also the producer of the show and a BIG dog at BMI the company that give the winner a contract, is amazingly brutal but usually right and can admit when he's wrong (for a while there was something wrong with the stage setup and he couldn't hear well, he watched the ep on tape and apologized for some of his comments the next day admitting things sounded much better than he'd heard).

Dr. Pepper is epidemic down here, came out of Waco Texas, just down the road by Southwestern measurement. I used to be an RC junkie but when I first got to Tucson it wasn't down here (that was the era when RC advertised how hard it was to find). Can is alright, it doesn't soak up that tinfoil taste like other sodas, fountain is better.

I'm a Pepper, She's a Pepper, Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too? ;(
