LOL. Yeah, Right Said Fred are soooo overrated. (Their appearance on John Oliver's show is one of the funniest pieces of political comedy ever though.) And Tag Team, too, such critics' darlings.

I applaud listing Kid Rock, who may have the lowest ratio of talent-to-ubiquity of anyone I can think of.

God bless you and him always!!!
