And to think, this whole time I thought Paul McCartney was being a bastard when really it's AOL Time Warner who owns the rights.

BTW, I am not being sarcastic. Just realized that I am drunk, and I didn't qualify the honesty. *snicker*

That is absolutely outrageous. Great post. I honestly had no idea that restaurants had stupid songs for that reason, and I've sung probably a half dozen of them. Keep this up, man, but don't stop with the embarassingly horrible posts either, especially if they're about true life events.

I'm convinced now that Cory Doctorow is a dingdang genius, no matter how bad his taste may be. That AGSFB post, now this. I hope you do become a famous writer now. Damn, life is wonderful.
