"Homer of Seville"

Every now and then I watch a little television, and it just so happened that last night (Sunday) the stars aligned for me to watch The Simpsons. I'm not one who readily writes about a tv show, but did anyone else see this episode (it was a repeat)? Homer injures his back and discovers that he has an incredible tenor voice -- as long as he's lying down. He quickly rises to stardom, performing lead roles in La Boheme, Le Nozze di Figaro, and others. Along the way, he encounters the one and only, Placido Domingo! I shook my head, "No way is this really him", I thought. But sure enough, it was! Now, it's no suprise that The Simpsons feature numerous celebrities from a range of professions. I think what usually gets me is the actual appearance of said celebrity. In other words, its nice to see Placido has such a great sense of humor. The show poked a little fun at him "being number 2" behind Homer. Another great moment was the famous tenor telling Homer to call him P-Dingo. At any rate, the show was great, and definitely worth noting because of the opera infused scenes.

Just a little commentary to start the week...
