Infinite MonkeysJoe Carter was wondering if John Kerry ever played the saxophone. I don't think so. But I do seem to remember seeing Kerry playing guitar with Moby and some band on C-SPAN around the time of his camaign kick-off. That image has been rattling around in my head of late. I'm glad to have a reason to shake it out. I remember thinking at the time what a longshot Kerry seemed like. I mean, the field was awfully full, and I saw no reason for Kerry to be considered a standout. But Moby saw something. Huh. Moby. I liked some of his earlier (mid-career) stuff, but I suffer from slight sympathetic embarrassment when I see him play (that) rock music live on tv shows. Now I have to recognize the uber geek's ("under-geek's?") political acumen. What's the world coming to?

Oh, wait... I forgot to do the McLaughlin thing:
WRONG, Mike!
