Who knows--Fred Schneider may have been voted off at this point, or sooner, but I guess we'll never know. (Yes, I know, Randy. [:p] v )

In the meantime, as the choices get even yet tougher, and only a "great" can go at this point, I'm going to have to drop Paul Weller, because the Style Council ruined everything.

Midge Ure is now dust in the wind. No, wait, that's not quite right.

Beaten to the punch. Sorry, Hutter (and hutter), but it's auf wiedersehn.

Of the big top five--all greats in their own rights, the one I don't see winning is Joey Ramone--and that says something about this dilemma.
