Isolation Thought

I didn't see Motown 45 the other day. But I understand a lot of the folks who made Motown the great label that it is, are no longer with us or just plain didn't show up. It sorta weakens the effort when the Four Tops are basically down to A Top. Why would you try to replace the great Levi Stubbs' voice? And here are two things you do not want to hear coming from your TV. "Representing Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, one of the all-time great duos in Motown history, are Cedric the Entertainer and "American Idol" finalist, Kelly Rowland." Huh? Cedric the Entertainer as Marvin Gaye? Was Willie Tyler unavailable? And then the greatest abomination. "The great Stevie Wonder could not be with us this evening. To sing one of his greatest hits...Wayne Brady!!!" Name any Brady. Tom...Mike...Alan, but you come up with Wayne? Stevie Wonder may be blind, but his other senses, especially common sense, steered him away from participating in this debacle. Praise the Lord.

The unusual case of source code stolen from Cisco Systems. Stolen right from their corporate network.

New York, London, Paris, not Munich among the finalists for 2012 Olympics.

Tony Randall passed away. The "Password" episode of "The Odd Couple" is a personal favorite. This episode airs at 10:00 on TV Land on Thursday. "If Charlie Chan had these clues, he'd be running a laundry."

Randy Johnson just threw a perfect game. 87 strikes out of 117 pitches. Amazing.
