There's two things on my mind this morning.

First, whatever happened to the novelty/comedy song? I grew up on Ray Stevens' classics, and still have a special place in my heart for Steve Martin's "King Tut." Is it because there's just no market for it anymore, or because PC has got people afraid to try to make humor? I know some of Spike Jones' things in WWII would be considered impolite today.

Second, what about the personal CD players with car adapters? I'd like to have one item that functions as both. I understand the adapters are either 1) a cassette, or 2) one that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Now, presumably the cassette adapter will run through the car stereo. But what about the cigarette lighter?

Many thanks ----- KFC
