WTF?
1. As noted in a talkback, Dr. Lao's blog is back and active. If you delve through the past month or so of archives, you'll find out why it was dormant.
2. Okay, this just doesn't get any weirder.
So, I'm watching the end of the snowboarding episode of THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR and their theme song plays over the closing credits. My eyes bugged out of my head when I saw that it was co-written by....
wait for it...
this is really weird...
as in, cue: Rod Serling...
William Saroyan.
No shit.
The real William Saroyan. The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
William Saroyan wrote about grapes and cakes. What the hell was going on?
The music is by his cousin, Ross Bagdasarian. They wrote it in 1953 for Rosemary Clooney.
Now, guess what Ross Bagdasarian later changed his name to?
Dave Seville.
As in, "The Chipmunks."
Same guy.
This is all so weird that I can barely wrap my brain around it.
