Ask The Editor, 11/23/2004: Stuck In A Hotel Room With Two Channels

From what I’ve heard here thus far, the majority of the Australian public has abysmal taste in music. It’s like they took the poppiest parts of the 80s and 90s and just keep recycling them over and over as “classics.” I’m guessing Milli Vanilli and New Kids on the Block were huge here. Tiffany clearly should have come down under to continue her musical career instead of showing her bits in Playboy, and Hillary Duff has already made this choice, which appears to be working out well for her thus far.

Ask The Editor, 11/22/2004: The Flight From Hell
