Luckily, it's not … so I won't. Here's the deal:

I took this picture of Pat Boone in January, when he performed at a black-tie party in West Virginia. (Long story.) My inside sources tell me he's actually a very nice guy -- not to mention a snappy dresser -- but the dude's got some horrible timing. Today, everyone's favorite Moonie paper of record, The Washington Times, has an interview in which Pat says censorship in the U.S. is actually healthy:

"It must be majority approved ... voluntary ... and self-imposed," he said, clad in a yellow blazer, black slacks, a canary yellow tie and white leather shoes. "Censorship is healthy for any society, and that goes for arts, entertainment, anything. Self-imposed means that the majority of people say that is what we want, and it can be changed if people's attitudes change, which is how a democratic society works."

Okay, now fast-forward to three hours later, as the U.S. government was scurrying to censor these images of flag-draped coffins filled with American soldiers coming back from Iraq:



I'm gonna go ahead and say censorship = bad, Pat. Sorry.

While I'm making this public service announcement, go ahead and check out my old stomping grounds: The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the Student Press Law Center.

The rest of your day:

1. Fresno Famous is a weekly, and Fresyes is (in theory) a daily blog -- but this past week the upstart publication has been writing circles around yours truly. Check out the latest: An interview with Fresno Bee music critic Mike Osegueda, who exposes the truth behind Esquire magazine's "most rocking cities" list. Turns out Esquire simply interviewed him, and then slapped a No. 6 on our favorite hometown. Hell, we'll take it. Meanwhile, for more proof of Fresno's No. 6-ness, give a read to BadAndy's latest music review.

2. Say you're looking for some great, rare cover songs performed by your favorite bands (say, Arab Strap doing Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love"). Well, go ahead and scoot your ass over to copy, right, where they play host (albeit temporarily) to the best of the copycats. Currently in rotation: covers of Cat Stevens songs from "Harold & Maude."
