Back to the music for a moment. I wouldda bet money it was Metallica playing one of their gigs with a full orchestra. I need to look into this Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They're supposed to have a web site at
www.trans-siberian.com (haven't been there yet).
On a down note, the Snoops article has been updated with news that the guy has agreed to discontinue his show this year because there was a traffic accident in the neighborhood on 12/6/05 which was caused by the heavy traffic conjestion.
