On the face, it's funny. It made me LOL the first time I heard it. But underneath there's a 'tude of 'those are stodgy old attractions for a slower, simpler era ... we're hip and we know what the audience wants.' < agreed completely, and the irony is that Iago was hip for a few years at best, and now is outdated himself.

Only his future products, with the proper budget, will decide that.

He's a fabulous singer and would do justice to any song representing Canada. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kalanporter" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/kalanpo rter</a>
