Subterranean Homesick Blues, the title song of the album. With the wonderful line, 'Don't follow leaders, watch the parking metres'. I think Avon would like it, too. N.

Regards Joanne (now imagining Vila annoying Avon past the end of his somewhat short tether with other songs in Roger Miller's repertoire -- VILA: "Oh, you can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd, but you can be happy if you've a mind to. Oh, you can't take a shower in a parakeet cage..." AVON: "Vila, I can be happy if you've a mind to stop making that dreadful racket. If I hear Dang Me once more, I will find a tree and hang you, is that understood? And forget about the bobbies on bicycles two by two, whatever they might be. Just go.") _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

She might view that as being better quality. More to the point, I don't think it was the sort of thing where the average person would come to equate the actor with the role, ie Darrow's stuck with being "Avon" forever, at least in the minds of many who watched B7; or the tendency on the part of my brother and myself to refer to "Burnside" when we mean to refer to Christopher Ellison. You can see why she'd prefer not to have something similar happen to her -- it'd be hard enough having to deal with being typecast as a serious, Shakespeare only actor when you want very badly to be cast in a particular part, without being seen by the general public as a rebel with a big bangs fetish, if you like. I hope this makes sense. My brain was somewhat fried by an attempt to watch Animals without hitting the fast forward button at any point. Sadly, this weak and inadequate vessel was unable to complete more than half the task... Ever so slightly shattered, Joanne (...groups of seemingly degenerate Vikings masquerading as the title beings...a Servalanic garment resembling the sacrifice of several black cockerels to the voodoo fashion gods...argh...) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Wonderful wonderful episode and Our Heroes all look gorgeous, dress beautifully (even Callys dress looks pretty good, in a Cally-ish way) and act and sound like intelligent (if - in Blake's case, rather bull-headed) human beings. And the moon discs may not be as - ummm - eye-catching and memorable as Og, but they're probably rather soothing to have around ... (now imagining Dayna saying to Avon "Og followed me home, can I keep him?") If you need a 4th season pick-me-up ... maybe Headhunter (though it does have that android) or Gold is very pretty (though it does have that smallish round person in shades of tomato ...) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
