Okay, call me stupid...how are Vickie and Steve acting like sheep?  Most
sheep metaphors refer to the sheep as being blind followers who have no 
lives or brains of their own.  I fail to see how either Vickie or Steve
can be said to fit into this theme based on their reactions to Richard's
post.

You seem to have been too busy raving (you *are* Love-Hounds occassionally-
friendly neighborhood raving bitch, aren't you?) to actually read Steve's
post.

He did not say that Richard was wrong to rag on either Jane Siberry or Happy
Rhodes.  He merely said that it seemed as if Richard was not making that
post to be witty but rather to annoy specific people--get their goats, as
Steve put it.

Yes, many artists have been made fun of.  Most of the 'jokes' were witty
and/or clever.  I didn't find either of Richard's comments to fall into
this category.  And it's not just because they both happen to be artists I
really like; I loved Angelos' comment about Madonna, and I love her stuff.
There have been a few funny comments about Sting and the rainforests.
I think Sting is a great musician, but I still enjoyed the jokes about
him.  There was a subtle dig at Sinead O'Connor that I thought was funny.

Try reading for content instead of material you can rave about.
