Well, Max had already posted his sheepish confession by the time I saw this thread. Nonetheless, I was a bit worried until I got to the confession. It did get me thinking about what my life would be like without the 'Cat. It would leave a big hole, I think.
The initial message sounded pretty credible. Then somebody posted a message, wondering if it were an April Fool's joke. Max's second note, denying it was a joke, made the whole thing quite believable. After all, music sites are dropping like flies these days. My other favorite sources of lyrics (other than Cowpie) are all gone - International Lyrics Server, Rabid Squirrel's Jazz Archive, and Musicals.net. I think the alt.music.lyrics newsgroup hasn't been affected yet, so there's still one good source of lyrics for us to refer people to.
Anyhow, Max, consider yourself to be in the doghouse - but we still like you.
