Song on my mind... "Down to Earth" by Barenaked Ladies

Some people are just all show
I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
But it's all bark, and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You've got the right message but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had a little intervention with you

Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup

She makes you want to know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really want to show her
How she's just so down to earth

This morning, the folks on one of the local radio shows were talking about the young woman who has been on a hunger strike in an effort to eliminate Sanjaya from American Idol. While anyone can see it's an urgent cause du jour with greater consequences than poisoned pet food, the Alberto Gonzalez attorney firing flap, the crisis in Darfur, and global warming combined, I don't think voluntary starvation is the proper course of action here, especially when everyone knows how grueling and fatiguing constant (and simultaneous) redialing and text messaging can be over a two-hour, post-Idol period. I think she's in need of a new strategy; either that or an intervention because I don't think she can survive eight more weeks without food.
