There was a nice feature on the Sherman Brothers this morning on NPR's Morning Edition this morning. I'm sure you can listen to it on npr.org should you wish.

Pretend girlfriend Amy has gone Hollywood on me and rarely lets me in on her comings and goings nowadays. I haven't seen her since about two months ago, when she pounded on my door at 3:00 am demanding I return "her" artificial leg. Ha! Sorry, toots--that baby is mine!

DR JRand, concerning your comments about AMERICAN IDOL last night, celebrities have numerous ways to be introduced to the public, and in my eyes, IDOL allows the American viewing public a three or four month window to get to know some talented young singers and decide if what they have to offer is something of value. In the cases of Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, the multi-platinum albums each has sold and the concert venues they have packed seem to suggest that at least a portion of the public liked what they saw.

If she hadn't won the Miss Burbank contest, Debbie Reynolds might not have been seen by that Warner Bros. talent scout and signed to a contract (later bought out by MGM).

If she hadn't won Ted Mack's Amateur Hour, would Patsy Cline have become known to millions of people? Maybe, maybe not.

In today's world, it doesn't always require talent to become a celebrity. Many famous people didn't win contests to become famous. But AMERICAN IDOL is merely one portal through which some may walk into the limelight.

The biggest shocker of the IDOL voting was that Scott Soval was one of the top three vote getters even after a mediocre rendition of "Dancing with My Father." (But then, Carrie Underwood, who gave an equally hideous performance on Tuesday) was also among the top three.

It's very clear that at this stage of the game, sides have been taken, and the weekly performance seems to have very little to do with who stays and who goes.

And at least this week, Simon Cowell's admonition to Scott to "Pak your bags; you're going home" didn't seem to have any sway with the voters who propelled him into the Top Three vote getters.

Speaking of blowing up, has anyone heard this story?

Quote

Exploding toads puzzle German scientists
More than 1,000 toads have puffed up and exploded in a Hamburg pond in recent weeks, and scientists still have no explanation for what's causing the combustion, an official said Wednesday.

Both the pond's water and body parts of the toads have been tested, but scientists have been unable to find a bacteria or virus that would cause the toads to swell up and pop, said Janne Kloepper, of the Hamburg-based Institute for Hygiene and the Environment.

"It's absolutely strange," she said. "We have a really unique story here in Hamburg. This phenomenon really doesn't seem to have appeared anywhere before."

The toads at a pond in the upscale neighborhood of Altona have been blowing up since the beginning of the month, filling up like balloons until their stomachs suddenly burst.

"It looks like a scene from a science-fiction movie," Werner Schmolnik, the head of a local environment group, told the Hamburger Abendblatt daily. "The bloated animals suffer for several minutes before they finally die."

Biologists have come up with several theories, but Kloepper said that most have been ruled out.

The pond's water quality is no better or worse than other bodies of water in Hamburg, the toads did not appear to have a disease, and a laboratory in Berlin has ruled out the possibility that it is a fungus that made its way from South America, she said.

She said that tests will continue. In the meantime, city residents have been warned to stay away from the pond.

One more IDOL comment, I agree with DR TCB about COnstantine's looks. I found him adorable with an instant connection to his audience when he performed. No, I'm not a fan of long hair, but otherwise, I found him imminently appealing.

It's very clear that at this stage of the game, sides have been taken, and the weekly performance seems to have very little to do with who stays and who goes.

The one thing about that statement that doesn't add up is that Constantine has never been in the bottom 3 -- and it clearly seems Tuesday night's blah song selection from him gave his fans pause...

Why Savol continues to be propped up eludes me. Carrie, too. I cannot imagine a C/W "Idol" winner. Like...what's she gonna do? Convert the masses?

She's quite uncomfortable in other genres...but Simon continues to adore her, so that's all that matters, I guess.

Two of Tuesday night's best three performances were in the bottom three...Anthony and Vonzell...should have been "Top 2" if talent and song choice/delivery were a factor.

Meanwhile, there are a lot of sad, lonely people out there who see Scott as "their" idol...and they're bulk-voting.

I think the show just might die if Scott wins.

DR Ginny: Thanks for the reply to my inhaler question. I had a nasty virus back in December and had to see a doctor when all over-the-counter treatments failed me.

He detected a wheeze in one of my lungs and asked if that hadn't been mentioned before (it hadn't). He asked me about allergies...and that was that. My allergies have progressively worsened over the past 10 years...from once a year in the spring to year-round. It's always something.

The inhaler REALLY helps at some rough moments, after which I'm fine for quite a while. But some co-workers have asked me about side effects, of which I've had none. And then they allude to "possible" side effects in the future...and I think, "No. My doctor wouldn't prescribe something that might hurt me later on."

But then....

Have you had any concerns like that?
