Neurology related: Why is it that some people are prone to getting songs stuck in their head, while others are seemingly immune? Ok maybe thats not exactly neurological, but thats my question

chris: you know someone who's immune? will you introduce me?? I get songs stuck in my head all the time....

I always get songs I really don't like stuck in my head. I'm looking forward to the Harry Shearer. I like the voices he does for the Simpsons (I've been a fan since the Tracy Ullman days for the record) but I think I like him even more for the characters he has played in all those Christopher Guest movies (This is Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind etc.). i don't know what circumstances you will be interviewing him in but questions along those lines would be cool.

hrm I suppose everyone is susceptible. I just feel especially cursed.... then again it might be more of a case that others like to torment me

Maybe we could get a group rate on some therapy??

Ya think workmans comp would cover pain & suffering caused by Boaz getting the Fraggle Rock Theme stuck in my head?

I have a cure for it: go to Kate's site and listen to the Water Buffalo Song.

I believe that would be an anti-cure

Well, it's either that or Good King Wenceslas. Take your pick.

Maybe this can counteract it:

LLAMADO FRAGGLE ROCK!

Well, it'd be easier for that to get stuck if I knew the language. thanks for sharing, Boaz! As you know, I LOVE the Muppets!

I give this interview an A-. It needed some Simpsons voices. On a serious note, well done -- he seems like a really interesting guy. "Smithers!"

Very well done, Boaz. He is such a multi-tasker, you did a very good job of keeping the ball rolling and covered a great deal of material in such a short period of time. He seemed like a regular guy, easy to talk to. I did not know he was involved in all of these things. Really enjoyed it.

Lots of exciting interviews coming up next week.  I'll be talking to a long-distance swimmer and racquetball champion about their new fitness website/DVD/program, Brava Body.  Then I'll be chatting with author/neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks...

Boaz catches up with Harry Shearer and hears about his debut novel, Not Enough Indians, which tells the story of an upstate New York town that solves their budgetary woes with a Native American tribe and a casino.  But that's not all- Harry's...
