The big reveal for the week of May 18/09

Good morning Music fans and welcome to Friday. What a great few days of sun we've had. I have been looking forward to this day for a while, as a group of my former colleagues and I are staging the first ever RTW Mediator reunion this weekend in Collingwood. Oh the things that we will chat about. Whatever happened to the little car in the old service delivery model? What happens (and what's said) in Collingwood will stay there.

Back to the music, no guesses this week. I suppose all the focus and excitement was on American Idol. I for one am so glad that the less dramatic singer won. The screamer just didn't do it for me. he has a great range, but just didn't fit the mould. Clearly, if you open these things up to a popularity contest and you "allow" voting, then the closest to social norms will win. Does anyone else wonder why the screamer hasn't been "discovered" yet? Maybe the over the top thing just doesn't fly any more. Whatever happened to Ziggy Stardust anyway?

Here are your answers:

The name of the song: Death on two legs.
The writer: Freddie Mercury.
The band: Queen (of course)
Basis for the album name: A Night at the Opera, based on the story that they watched the Marx brothers movie of the same name the night before.



Have a great weekend, enjoy the time away from the work demands. In keeping with the sentiments of the above song about a manager who broke the trust relationship with the band, I leave you with the following quote:

"trust is like a vase...once it's broken, though you can fix it, the vase will never be the same again"
