Bits & Pieces (Thursday Night Open Mic)

Nick Pitera is a one-man Disney movie. His Aladdin is dead-on but, beyond that, his vocal range is very impressive.

So, what’s his day job? An animator for Pixar. I hate him.

Speaking of people to hate. This kid covering Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” is apparently 11 years old. I was drawing comic books filled with stick figures at age 11.

Or, he was 11 at the time. Anyhoo, his name is Greyson Chance and he’s well on his way to Beiber-dom. You will, I expect, be hearing a lot about him in the near future. Especially if you have any Beiber-loving-aged children. He’s been on Ellen. I just stumbled across him, but clearly he’s about 10 minutes from exploding all over pop culture.

That’s been your pop culture minute. — KW
