Lightning strikes.

Band has a hit.

Band argues over X (money, talent, girls, boys, etc.)

Band breaks up, insists it can do better without aggrieved party,

Products that result from each party are far weaker, leaving the viewer wish for good old days,

Talks of an inevitable reunion are always in the air, making current “lead singer” always understand she’s a placeholder.

Lightning doesn’t strikes twice. Web moves on to the Next Big Thing. See: “That Thing You Do!” for cultural zeitgeist precedent.

I'm not a hater or fanboy. I tried watching the beginning of a couple of bits of SometimesDaily, and couldn't help but think that I needed to be high just to get the jokes. It's just... bad. Points for trying, but not much else. You know, I liked her on Rocketboom, and when I caught her ABC project. I’m not a hater or fanboy.

And if so, does that make Joanne Colan the Kirstie Alley of the Internet. And if so, should we expect Joanne to get really fat? This post has given me a lot to think about.
