Lennon/Ono. Just kidding. Dylan -- vastly overrated. A hack of a musician. Neil Young -- good musician and music writer, crap singer and lyricist; overrated

Morrissey/Marr is an intriguing suggestion. Marr is more of a guitarist than a songwriter. Cole Porter, Gershwin, Lennon/McCartney are all good ideas.

Pathat nails it. Ishihara is much hottter than the usually JT fodder, or any of the Japan Miss Universes that blight these pages from time to time. Thanks for the big picutre, too, JT.

I do like the 'curry-and-rice restaurant operator' part. Why not 'restaurant operator'?

Compare this with the job descriptions on the Iranian drug bust thread, BLV.

Guy Sorman, a French philosopher

A better question: Why is an ignoramus like this considered a philosopher?

Actually, you could call this a Japan-style crime -- with the person "snapping" (kireru) as has been in the media frequently in recent months.
