Not a particularly good year for music or much else, I think, but it did at least provide a vindication for Devo's theory of things evolving backwards. I for one clearly remember contemplating diva du jour Amy Winehouse back in 2007 and hoping she wouldn't kill herself. And yet here I am now, a mere two years later, contemplating diva du jour Lady Gaga and hoping I won't kill myself.

Sue me, I have no problem with Lady GaGa.
I know what you mean ... here I was thinking Madonna was the least talented, most pretentious diva out there, and then along comes one who is even less talented and even more pretentious.
heh...heh...heh...
Seriously -- if anybody out there can claim, sincerely, that they listen to that "Poker Face" record for pleasure, than I can only assume they are so seriously perverse of ears as to be beyond my ken entirely.
BG, I like the way you think.

OK, this is totally off topic, but you guys will love it.
I got my 15 year old Beatles Rock Band for Christmas. She loves it, no surprise, but the gravy has been how my three 7 year olds reacted.
They have become Beatles fanatics! They love the game, they are learning the songs, and they sing them at the drop of a hat. It is an amazing feeling to be driving home from school and having a car full of kids singing Yellow Submarine or Twist and Shout or Get Back. Especially Get Back. That is the favorite of my son Thomas, who was a cute w for r thing going on. "Tuscon Awizona" will make you smile for three days. I swear.
The kids now ask for Beatles in the car whenever we drive anywhere! As a song comes on, they sing and play air drums. It is way, way, way cool.
If you have kids, or hang around other people's kids a lot, you must consider getting them the game. It will strangely and wonderfully bring joy to your life.
