and it isn't just talk talk talk

Join me for a game of "Which of these is a big fat lie?" won't you?

Last night, one of the following things did not happen. Do you know which is a big fat lie?

1. I went to a place, and there was P.Phone (!!) — and I even met her, after all these years!


2. Freedy Johnston (he of "Bad Reputation" — one of my all-time favorite songs — fame) sat in front of me at a concert, and I didn't even realize it.


3. Freedy Johnston joined Mike Viola onstage for a rousing rendition of that very same "Bad Reputation."


4. Dollie had the same slogan-emblazoned shirt on as at least one other audience member (in a very small room)


5. I saw Keanu Reeves sitting on a couch I sat on myself just the week before.


6. That very same Keanu Reeves totally checked out Dollie's rack on his way out (slogan emblazoned or otherwise).


7. I did my part to help a talented singer/songwriter come up with a lawsuit against (the also talented, but possibly plagiaristic) Backstreet Boys.

Well, can you guess?

Can you?!

Won't you?

. . .

Here's a hint (and the answer):

Mike and Freedy only did one song, and it was "Earn Enough for Us" from XTC.

Zing!
