As I'm sitting here, getting myself psyched up for seeing The Towers by listening to nothing but Zeppelin and Dio, I flip on the TV and catch a little of this: Ray Charles Tribute On Ice- A tribute show to Ray Charles' renowned musical career with Brian Boitano, Jamie Sale & David Pelletier, Brian Orser and many more. Musical guest star: Ray Charles.

So now I'm wondering, will the The Towers now be anti-climatic after watching Brian Boitano skate around to a Ray Charles tune? How can an army of Ents, an hour long battle between the men of Rohan & the Uruk-Hai, and Gollum compare to that? And wouldn't Ray be so thrilled by the whole performance, considering he's blind and can't really see anything the skaters do?

Five hours and counting. Woo to the fucking hoo.
