1. He, Diamond, and Horowitz work magic.

I hope some doctor can work some magic on MCA to boot.

2. Get better MCA........

It ain't "Finger-lickin' good" without ya! And now I'd like to pass the mike to Yauch...

3. He'll be OK. They caught it early; will have surgery and his vocal cords won't be affected.

Thank heavens. I forget my faves are getting older; reminds me I am too.

4. My best friend from childhood claimed to have been in rehab with him.

Of course, one could never tell with her... she died, alone and miserable, in a county jail in Pennsylvania several years ago. :cry: Oh, did I mention she was also the first in my seemingly endless string of unrequited crushes?

Hopefully Adam will not be joining her any time soon.

edit: I just realized Adam and I share the same birthday. Not just the same day, the same year. :wow:

5. I don't have any cool people on my birthday

sending good thoughts to MCA.

6. Well. Thank goodness he can afford to get it treated. God knows I couldn't.

Healthcare reform. Now.

7. Very big on the Free Tibet movement. Hope he gets better soon.
