How can you purport to hope to be a pop star if you don't already have the lyrics to "Be My Baby" etched on your heart?

For some reason I can't quite understand, Jeremy is running elaborate descriptions of "American Idol" episodes.

The AI posts are guest posts by someone who once did AI coverage (among other things) on her own blog but has since discontinued it, and I invited her to be a special AI correspondent on mine.

Hi, Jeremy. Does that really explain why?

I never read your American Idol posts, but you drew me in with "Be My Baby." The great but possibly homicidal Phil Spector goes on trial next month. "Be My Baby" is the first cut on disk two of "Back To Mono," the indispensible Spector collection, and that disk has been in my car CD player for the past six weeks. Nothing like the opening moments of that song to get me back on my feet if the day has gone south.

We wouldn't need American Idol if Phil Spector was still active in pop music.
