Actor songs...
Thanks for all your terrible band names. I really laughed at some of them and hope you did as well. I did feel a bit juvenile when talking about Norah Jones and The Little Willies, but I imagine that ten year old's sense of humour never leaves you.
Tomorrow night I will be taking the night off so Vic Galloway will be looking after things. Please look after him bloggers.
In the run up to The Oscars he will be looking for your suggestions of actors and actresses mentioned in songs.

Good evening, Uncle Vic! William Shatner does a song about...William Shatner! Specifically, the way some people confuse William Shatner with Captain James T. Kirk of the United Federation of Planets Star Ship Enterprise.
- William Shatner & Brad Paisley

Hmmm.. a theme definately inspired by the suggestion of 'Artists outlived by Megrahi'
It's quite a dismal idea for a Friday night? In any event, I shall be in the concert hall watching Randy Newman.
Still, I shall come up with some shouts from August 2009 forward. Janice played the guy who was thje guitarist in Johnny Kydd & The Pirates, who died recently..that would be good.
