When Pixie was ferreting around in the bowels of Kazaa last night, she came across Richard Thompson singing Britney Spears.She sent it to me and I listened carefully and sure enough, there is my hero or a remarkable facsimile thereof singing "Oops I did it again".

Needless to say it is pretty awful.Has anyone else come across it? Is it a joke? Was he, to put it mildly, in his cups or in a strait jacket? What was going on? I am happy to send this piece of musical flotsam to anyone who wants to send me their e-mail, either to verify it is him or simply as a curious musical anomaly.

Oh Richard.......why?
