Great story. Did you happen to make a video of it. Ticks, yuck. My cat brings one home from time to time. >> ^Xaielao:

Interesting story. One of my cats, a 20 year old outdoor orange tabi, has become fast friends with a white-tail deer. We see them lying together in the lawn from time to time. It's rather funny, but they are a duo to be sure. We aren't sure how the became friends.
Only downside is he often gets deer ticks.

They met in Mexico City, playing in a heavy metal band, but moved to Ireland. The articles linked above are kinda interesting, too.

Credit should go to Simon AND Garfunkle, shouldn't it?
I think it's important distinction. Paul Simon played very different music solo than in his S&G days.


From the wiki:

"I Am a Rock" is a song written by Paul Simon. It was first performed by Simon alone as the opening track on his album The Paul Simon Songbook which he originally recorded and released in August 1965, only in the United Kingdom. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, as the American pop/folk duo Simon and Garfunkel, re-recorded it on December 14, 1965, and included as the final track on their album Sounds of Silence, which they released on January 17, 1966.

Very, very talented duo.

So for the record, he apparently attended a performing arts high school, but "could not continue with any professional training because of his financial situation" (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choi_Sung-Bong). So he is by no means a street urchin who had never sung before.

There was also a bit of a controversy because he apparently stated that he had been trained to sing in high school but it was edited out for television audiences. This would not be the first such occurrence, as recently on So You Think You Can Dance the choreography performed by two of the performers was directly lifted from another group (called Les Twins), and nonetheless praised for its originality - apparently the duo did credit their source, but it was edited out to make them appear more impressive.

I also learned from this research that apparently Susan Boyle had recorded a CD for charity before her appearance, and Paul Potts had been an amateur operatic singer who had taken a masterclass with Pavarotti.

For the inevitable cries of "hater" out there - I do not think that this diminishes their talent or achievement, or how tough this kid's life has clearly been. But people do not just turn into semi-professional opera singers by practicing in their rooms...
