  Just listening to Ella Fitzgerald -  The Very Thought Of You;  something has to be said about the music from days gone by,  these people knew how to sing,  and the music,  dare I say it,
 " it swings"  ;  Having seen the pathetic excuses for talent paraded each night on these " reality TV"  shows like Australia Idol/
American Idol and Pop Stars,  its nice to know that those of us who prefer,  hmm,  " quality music"  are still able to acquire,
 and some times,  at a nice price ;  Mind you,  nothing pleases me more than seeing Simon off American Idol punch a hole in the contestants egos that are so large,  they need their own time zone.  Yes,
 I do take pleasure in someone elses misfortune,  sometimes referred to in German as Schadenfreude.  If the above makes me a Schadenfreude,  well,  I'd be more than happy to walk down the road with a T- Shirt saying,
 " Simon is my hero"  and on the back " he punches holes in egos!  ;
