And, as I start my workday doing crossword puzzles from the morning paper, I have to say that coming across DC as an answer to a clue would definitely make my day!

Here's another DC nugget from that Freep interview: <blockquote>Q: So you're cool with having a wide age range of fans? A: Oh absolutely. </blockquote><blockquote>The more people that want to get into what I'm doing, bring 'em on. We've got plenty of room on the bus.</blockquote> The reporter kept trying to get him to comment on the "cougars," which he, smartly, wouldn't respond to directly but, ever the diplomat, he invited all his fans "on the bus." Damn, when is this precious boy going to learn that too many AI fans don't get metaphors? Can't wait to see the crazies trying to pry open the doors on the Greyhound bus! Great interview, though. And the one with Michael was great too. It's clear he's just an up-front, direct guy. Very refreshing, really, even if it pisses folks off from time to time. I love that he and DC are such good buds. I think they're good for each other. Also, great interview with Mia Michaels. She is very frank, too (makes Michael Johns seem like he's auditioning to be a U.S. ambassador), so I'm not sure how to take her comments on Nigel Lythgoe. She says he'd never tamper with an artist's integrity. Really?? Maybe he doesn't consider the AI contestants true artists! Hmmm........ Great aggregate today, MJ!
