Sean - you post is spot-on & I suspect the audience is paid or at least coached.

hahaha, I'm always up for hearing original stuff from people.
Even if it's not something I'd normally listen to, I appreciate the talent & effort. I'm just amazed by people who can actually put together music.

I would go for Greg Kihn too - I alway

Well, this episode (June 23rd) didn't seem quite as bad as the others. Greg Kihn was solid, but I gotta sheepishly admit that the highlight for me was Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way". [:I] Obviously an all-time classic,covered awesomely by Jimm
