I noticed that the link we all memed for this article is dead, so I am re-memeing an updated version. (Should that be meming? I am not qualified to invent new verbs. Is there a linguist in the house?)

RE: 'Where did the music go?' by Jaron Lanier

Fischerspooner is not something enjoyed in moderation. Just watch their stage show -- a synchronized sensory overload of throbbing keyboards, feathered dancers and flashing lights that looks and sounds like the court at Versailles visiting Burning Man -- and try to take it in small, measured doses. Just try to avert your eyes from frontman Casey Spooner. Corralling the audience with his gaze, he has more cajones than the Rat Pack and more attitude than a diva (with a few more costume changes thrown in for good measure). It's clear as soon as the first track is cued; this is an orgy of entertainment. Don't get squeamish.

For everyone who bloged about Fischerspooner back in September, here's a "rave" of a concert review.

"Johnny died due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure," Cash's manager, Lou Robin, said in a statement issued by Baptist Hospital in Nashville.

Thursday was a crappy day, as John Ritter also passed away unexpectedly while working on his TV show.

One very interesting tidbit that was on NPR this morning, but I can't find references of on Google yet, is the statement that while in the Air Force, Johnny Cash was a codebreaker. This would make Johnny the Alpha-Geek, and most beloved, as the original codebreaking Man in Black.
