       Simon Cowell? sinner or saint?
—po, Mar 27 2003
   

       I'd watch this.
—my face your, Mar 27 2003
   

       yes, but you are rather - umm sad?

       One man bands used to be a staple on TV talent shows. Or least the one I watched one time when I was a kid.

       Harsh, po. Harsh but fair.

       I have a genius friend who can jump from the theme to jim'll fix it to a rockin' version of jamie and the magic torch like THAT. Yeah, like THAT! He got through the first round of Pop Idol but then got booted out after Simon Cowell said he looked like the less attractive brother of Suggs.

       Suggs of Madness.

       This is just the thing. Sure American Idols can tousle their hair and smile for the cameras, but give them an accordian, a harmonica in a neck holder and put cymbals between their knees and let them entertain!

       <why, thingy, why? --Worldgineer>   

       For entertainment purposes.

       I thought the 1/2B frowned on cruel and inhumane ideas?   

       'Tis funny, though.

       Use the link feature for shameless self-promotion.

       I'm all for this idea. I'll enter to win. This is my site: www.scotthallonemanband.com Guitar, 3 piece drum set, harmonica, kazoo and vocals.

       No sequencers allowed?

       This inspires me to propose the production of Drum Idol, where the next Ringo Starra and Keith Moons get to show off their chops to a panel of judges.
—spiritualized, Mar 30 2004
   

       I'm pretty sure anyone in a one-man-band could never be my idol.
