I’ve just returned from eating every bit of sushi and sashimi in Middlesex County, NJ. The Live Earth concert is on. Madonna puffed vigorously through La Isla Bonita, which reminds me: yesterday, I had to explain to members of my department at the library that Elvis Costello was not a classic comic actor, and neither was he a one-trick pony whose only hit was Veronica.

No, really. My co-workers between the ages of 19 and 70 did not know.

Still a good question – one among many. Y’think they know Madonna’s not a Brit?
