Actually, these lists are quite well rounded, and sound like it would make a
good playlist for an evening..c

Not sure how many saw this in theatres, I don't think it played in many, but
I just saw this on DVD, and while it may not be as initially funny as
'Office Space' (also by director Mike Judge), it is quite an interesting
film. Basically Luke Wilson is frozen in time accidentally for 500 years and
wakes up to discover a world where stupid people are rampant, and he is the
smartest person on the planet. If you get angry at shows like 'Jackass' and
'1 vs 100', then you might just like this movie.
Actually, the more I think about it, it's just as funny as Office Space.

In an exclusive interview conducted by Rock N Roll Universe
( www.rocknrolluniverse.com) legendary Grand Funk Railroad drummer Don
Brewer discusses the band working with Frank Zappa, the historic 1971
Shea Stadium show, where the band sold out all 55,000 plus tickets in
less than 72 hours, the chances of Grand Funk being inducted into the
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the state of the music business as well as
the possibility of a brand new album. A short excerpt from the
interview follows below :
Rock N Roll Universe : In '71 the band played New York's Shea Stadium,
selling out all 55,000 seats in 72 hours, faster than any band had sold
out that venue, including The Beatles. It's a record which I believe
still stands to this day. What was that like playing the Shea concert?

MSNBC.com (read PMSNBC.commie) is running this slide show of the '10 top
rock guitarists of all time'. OK, if they don't think Frank Zappa is
deserving, then fine, I can live with that. But to count Keith Richards,
a RHYTHM guitarist, popular as he is and as much as I respect the man,
it just plain wrong.

That's ironic (or coincidental). I waded through the list wondering
when ID was going to show up and thought "where is it?. Then I read
you post and busted out laughing. Thanks for the chuckle.

TORONTO (CP) - Denny Doherty, the Canadian member of the popular '60s
folk group Mamas and the Papas known for their iconic hits such as
"California Dreamin"' and "Monday, Monday," has died.
He was 66. His older sister Frances Arnold said the singer-songwriter
died at his home in suburban Mississauga on Friday after suffering an
aneurysm in his abdomen.
The Halifax-born Doherty was the lead male singer in the group whose
other hits included "Dream a Little Dream of Me" and "Dedicated to the
One I Love."
"Everybody used to think that John Phillips, who wrote the songs, was
also the main voice of the group, but it wasn't - it was the angelic
voice of Denny Doherty," said Larry Leblanc, Canadian editor of
Billboard Magazine.
"He was often overlooked but it was really his voice that carried the
group."
"He was a raconteur, a storyteller and he would tell these great,
great, great stories of some of the great moments with the Mamas and
the Papas and some of the bad moments 'cause they lived some of the
great and bad moments," said Leblanc.

Here is the one from the New York Times and the one Germaine Greer
wrote for the London Guardian:

Innovator, Dies At 52
FROM: The New York Times (December 7th 1993) ~
By Jon Pareles
Frank Zappa, a composer, guitarist, band leader and producer who was
rock's most committed iconoclast, died Saturday evening at his home in
Los Angeles. He was 52 years old.
The cause was prostate cancer, The Associated Press reported.
