...idea! Why stop at internships? Why not elect the President by randomly selecting from all those qualified? And why wait until you are an "Internship Coordinator"? For your next date, just randomly select from all those qualified. I'm sure it will make a wonderful pick-up line: "Hey, babe, even though you aren't the best, you have been randomly selected from all agreeable candidates."

DiFranco is so fiercely protective of her work that she was miffed when a recent cover of one of her songs, 32 Flavors, by newcomer Alana Davis added...
...craft as a writer and arranger. In 1964 the Searchers recorded what is considered one of his best songs, Needles and Pins. During that period he met Cherilyn Sarkisian, then 16 years old. The two married in 1964, and beginning with the sweetly simple love song I Got You Babe, recorded just a few months after they exchanged vows, Bono created a stream of hits for the duo. By the end of 1967, Sonny & Cher had sold 40 million records worldwide and become rock's "it" couple...
