Blogging is now my life. Besides, I didn't mention Diane Lane for best actress -- even though I may have been tempted.
Male athletes... good list except Wayne Gretzky? Come on! Great hockey player; not great athlete. Please replace with swimmer.
Dance Songs...How can you actually include a song about gay pediphiles on the list? There's got to be something better! Even the Macarana or the Chicken Dance are better! Now, let's put a little more thought into this will you?
Well Mr. Slade Pulltab guy, Wayne Gretzky is the leading scorer of all time in Hockey, with twice as many points as the person in second place. In fact, if you remove all the goals he scored from his record, he would still be the leading scorer of all time just with his assists! That's actually more dominating than any other athlete. I thought about swimmers Spitz, Phelps, SS Slade and Thorpe and originally had Spitz over Ali, but decided to give it to Ali because he brought his sport back from the brink of nothingness. So there were intangibles -- such as nobody from USC could be on the list. Ha!!!!
Yeah, I know about the Village People and wasn't sure if in these enlightened times it was fair to leave their song off due to their sexual preferences. It's a fun song to dance to and, besides, the Indian is kind of cute.
