Doc Wrote A Column "Click Here For More"

In the Showbiz section of today's Ottawa Sun, you'll find Doc's essay on choosing the all-time greatest Classic Rock band. To be honest, I didn't think he had it in him. I'm not saying he didn't have the wherewithal to formulate opinions or pass experienced judgement in his field of relative expertise. It's just that he's technically deficient. I'm surprised he successfully booted his computer for this assignment. So, imagine my glee when I opened up the Sun to find his ramblings over the middle spread of Showcase. He must have finally figured out how to click "send". Good on ya, Doc! And, I must admit, I was impressed with his style and the quality of his vocabulary.
He never did that on the air. Hmmm! Now I'm wondering if he wasn't on some type of intellectual steroid or something. Say it ain't so, Doc. What I read in your column was some of the finest writing I've seen to date (and that includes 3 books and 4 Mad Magazines). Mazel Tov, good man! Pulitzer, I say!
