(I know, Caps Lock is Cruise Control for Cool...)
Anyway, if there ever was a time to interview Rick Astley, it would be now. He's become the current largest Internet Superstar out there. It's pretty big when even YouTube gets into the Rick Roll game.
I'm sure all of us who are either fans of Rick, closeted fans, or just people who've been Rick Rolled, would love to hear from him on the subject of his video being a huge meme.

Do you interview the puppet ...

Go with the puppet. No one would know who those guys were, albeit those of us who know how pop music is made.

I sense that someone knows something about the man behind the curtain and DEAR GOD I don't wanna know.
Please, leave me with my fond Rick Astley memories. They helped me through the tough times, ya know, before I found Tool.

The men behind the curtain are just the guys who basically hired Rick. They wanted him to leave his original band, but he didn't want to. The nice guys in the band broke the band up so that he could have a career in music. He then joined up with those three, and they're the ones who pushed him to stardom.

I prefer this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uxjNEESomA) when I think of Kylie.
Or there's always this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVDogmtajKI) of Kylie's.

@TLP, that's freaky.
Speaking of freaky, I'd agree with you, TokenUser, if they didn't have that erectile deflating old hag in the commercial. She looks like an old Dr. FrankNFurter.

So that means I get a "One Rick Roll Free" card? Man, monopoly Rev3 edition is m fave so far. I shall save this Rick Roll...
But in any case, Kylie Minogue is a very talented artist in many areas *wink nod nudge* but let's get back to it shall we?
