ars longa, vita brevis

Ever heard of the Six degrees of Separation? How many is this: Bonnie Duhamel attends a Neal Peterson concert. Her son Josh marries Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas. I lost count. Don't get me wrong—I like the Black Eyed Peas. Although, I only own their first album, Behind the Front, which I purchased in 1998 from a 99 cent bin at a record store. Also of note, Fergie wasn't on that album. I digress.

Anyway, a couple months ago, my brother-in-law, Cale, asked me if I had seen the music video for Boom Boom Pow. I hadn't, but upon review, Cale was right: The imagery is somewhat uncanny. I wasn't even going to comment on this until I heard Fergie sing (and I quote): "I'm so 3008. You so 2000 and late." Despite the grammatical errors, we can see that her flux capacitor is a bit off (see diagram below):

Oh, well. The Peas are great, and I wish them the best of luck. Maybe they'll let me open for them sometime or maybe they'd like me to design their next album cover. It's all for the best, I suppose. After all, it's just like my song (Revolution No. 13) from Riot in Luxury says: "We're victims of headphones"...
