Look, if I'm going to pick on anyone from last week's show and suggest an alternative performance as a form of therapy ... it's going to have to be the decision to pair poor Carole-King-wannabe Brooke White with underwear-model-Miley-Cyrus-throwaway-Nashville-Star-ex-contestant Justin Gaston to try to sing Elvis' "If I Can Dream" on the results show. She should have just sung it by herself. Or, even better, I offer up (instead) the American Idol 1968 version (from an earlier edition of Idol Gives Back) of Celine Dion paired with the King himself through the magic of TV special effects.
By the way, it's Sunday comics theme week at Capricious Cognition, and you might be wondering how I would possibly tie it in to today's post ... but if you are thinking that way, then you must not have followed the penguin Opus to the end of his strip -- when Elvis appeared to him to tell him to get ready for his final resting place (the ghost paying it forward so that Opus could avoid his fate of being forever remembered as having been eliminated whilst eliminating, so to speak). Of course, I could have just as easily referenced Opus yesterday as a memorial item, since he's been out of my Sunday routine for some years now like Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. [And based on a google search of my fond-remembrance-comics-lineup, I found a comics soul mate in Elizabeth S, a commenter near the bottom of the blog linked below.]
As I decided how best to connect theme week to today's tune therapy, I stumbled across a website that allows you to research comics and cartoons by subject! So you can explore your own randomness at the link below (and they allow you to put the toons on products, use them in e-cards, etc.)!
