Raising Animals From the Dead

Oh, sometimes I just crack myself up.

Writing a review of Whitney Houston's disasterous Australian comeback, I cribbed a quote from a disgruntled fan who snarled, "She couldn't entertain a dead rat."

How fair is that? I wrote. The rat is dead; it can't be moved by "The Greatest Love of All," only by a shovel."

I laughed so hard, I peed," my editor wrote me. But I had to take it out.

Tant pis.

You got the big laugh here in St Looey, thanks! Oh Whitney. I was just thinking it was looking like Bobbybrown was in better shape. And that's real bad.

I must say, Being Bobby Brown was one of my favorite all-time favorite television shows, and I was heartbroken when they took it off the air after only one season. I particularly liked the way Bobby Brown named all his kids Bobby Something.

Whitney's problemo is that her producers married her off to Bobby Brown because they though being gay would ruin her career. If ya don't break ot constructively, ya break out destructively and all of that.

I loved that show. I can always manage to fall hopelessly into some disgraceful television viewing but BBB was it.
