I don't know if she's the next Beatles, but on the season finale of her MTV
show last night, Ashlee Simpson did have a hard time understanding the radio
DJs interviewing her by phone, just like the Beatles and Murray the K.  Oh,
and she just used the power of television to sell a million records.  Guess
some of the young ones are having trouble with their Internet connection.

I enjoyed this show.  The kid is immensely likeable and has a good head on
her shoulders.  Her interaction with the creepy Geffen execs was fascinating
to watch.  The music?  Kind of mainstreamy, but has a certain Letters to
Cleo-ish charm to it.
