    Yes – that Ok Go video is just pure genius. ;) And Enya rocks, too. :d/

  • Well, I see Enya won for her album. :) *cheers* And that’s all I’m going to say because I know Gretchen and I don’t see eye to eye on the Dixie Chicks. :D (But then, I’m not really a country music fan to begin with. ;) )

    And have you seen the vid by OKGo that was co-produced by a woman (according to your info here)? It’s GREAT!! LOL

    Well, I have to disagree with you on the music. I think “Taking the Long Way Home” has several good tracks. That CD makes it into my player several times a month. I do agree that a lot of it is political, but artistically and musically it is a great album. The lyrics can be taken different ways so I just ignore the political meanings and think of them in my own context. :)>-

  • Don’t get me started on the Dixie Chicks. Those Granny’s like everything else about them of late was all politics, the CD/Album is just not that good.
