    I dunno, I am friends with the guy who coined the word “blog”, and I work on the team that makes Movable Type, and I can’t grant you credit for this. Not that you don’t deserve it, but mostly because I own the maxi-single for “Go Go Dancer” and your name is on the credits, and that means we have to punish you somehow. :)

    Mr. Dash.

    While I certainly deserve stringent punishment for my participation in the recording of “Go Go Dancer” I must point out that I was just following orders, an obligation under the terms of my employment.

    YOU, on the other hand, purchased the maxi-single of your own volition?

    The defense rests.

    I was young, and she needed the money.
