| Great Post.... Somewhat off the subject but wanted to let you know that Celine appeared on the Oprah show yesterday and "lip-synched" a portion of her hits, with the exception of IACBTMK..... Also, 75% of her shows here in Vegas are lip-synched and she has cancelled so many shows (close to half) due to the dry weather affecting her voice........ she's in her 30's....so IMO maybe we can cut some slack to ML and as Michael has said he allows his vocal chords to rest and hopefully the magic can still happen... > I am still in the UK, as the plan was to finish Meats UK > tour with tonights Foreigner gig here in Cardiff. > > Walking Cardiffs streets today, I realized how much > Meat-history was experienced in this city alone.
