I’ve always been convinced that no one would ever write lyrics weirder than Led Zeppelin’s “If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now …” which we all sang along to in the `70s because “Stairway to Heaven” was so awesome it didn’t matter that the words made no sense.
The same was true of The Steve Miller Band’s wretchedly wonderful songs, most famously this line from “Take the Money and Run”: “Billy Mack’s a detective down in Texas. You know he knows just what the facts is.” Texas? Facts is?

“I feel like (American) Idol is a drug of some kind,” our fresh-faced
junkie told People this week. He then goes on to say that he hasn’t watched
this season at all. Good for you, Clay. If you can kick it, there’s hope for us all. We’re

and renounce all Idol pleasures. Except for your Aug. 19 concert at Hard Rock Live. That’s OK, right? It
will be more like a support group.

LaKisha Jones, shown, is one of the better “American Idol” singers, but the divide between the top talent and the mediocre singers is too great this year.

Snapping past whipper-snappers like the savvy veteran that she is, Lucy Ricardo climbed triumphantly to the top of our television heap, taking home the title of “Greatest TV Character of All Time.”
Ricardo, whose “I Love Lucy” is one of the most enduring shows in the history of the medium, clobbered Jack Bauer of “24″ in the championship round of our bracket-style competition.
Although the outcome was perhaps unsurprising, the margin certainly was. Of the more than 900 votes included in our final tally, Ricardo was picked as the winner on 273 of them. Barney Fife, the home-state folk hero who finished as champion on the second-most brackets, managed only 99.
