Muppet missive

After catching Muppets History 101 at the Wexner Center Saturday, I quickly realized that cloth puppets from my childhood entertained just as well decades later (even if The Muppet Show's guest stars were so awfully 70's).

Fozzie Bear and Kermit really are that funny. And how had I forgotten Jim Henson's voice is only a tone away from Kermit? In interviews, he asserted he and Kermit were not the same person, but I'm not hearing it.

And what better gift of song for St. Patrick's Day than "Danny Boy" sung by the Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker?

At least they took a more decipherable route through its lyrics than Pogues frontman/legendary drunk Shane McGowan...
