So now into the trash goes my Bocelli Christmas CD, which is actually pretty good. Too bad it's tainted now and I won't be listening to it anymore.

It also just made me never want to hear him sing again & I loved his voice. Oh well, I've loved & lost before, I'll be ok without ever hearing him sing again.

I guess that he must be a good singer and shows like The Voice expose folks to opera that live where there are no opera houses.

Team Trump has also scored the services of a sixteen year old also-ran from America's Got Talent.
This is shaping up to be the bigliest inaugural ever!

Trump is about as important to the average Italian as Matteo Renzi is to Americans.
