I love my Band-in-a-box! However, if I went somewhere and one guy had the full band thing going and he was sitting there singing with a guitar in his hand, then I would think it was really cheesy (unless he was a really, really good performer and could somehow pull it off).

I put loopers in another category. If you build the loops live and then go from instrument to instrument, I would see that as very entertaining -- for a song or two per set.

As for the crackdown on DUI, the statistics tell me that the % of deaths where alcohol is involved is going down, but it doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot of good.
