I just saw Lisa Loeb and Dweezil Zappa (who are a celebrity super-couple) performing together on the morning news*, and was reminded of how adorable Lisa Loeb is . . . Dweezil was playing electric guitar and doing his rock-star son-of-Frank thing, and Lisa was playing her acoustic guitar, smiling and bobbing up and down, and at one point in the song she even whistles. This reminds me that I need to pick up Lisa Loeb (and Nine Stories)’s new album, which is a children’s record.

Also . . . President Bush’s dog died? The First Pet is dead and this is front-page news? This is what’s so friggin’ important that it’s the first story that pops up when I log onto AOL?** No wonder so many Americans know nothing about foreign affairs . . . myself, sadly, included.

And on the subject of the news, Mel Gibson’s new movie is about to hit theaters, so here are my top predictions for headlines you’ll probably see way too many times in the Passion of the Christ reviews:

1) Jesus Christ, Superstar (if it’s successful)

2) The Last Temptation of Mel Gibson

3) The Greatest Story Ever Sold (I’ve already seen this one)

4) Jesus is Coming!

** And incidentally, when did I become one of those guys who cares about AOL?
