Will the Oscar competition for the Best Picture of 2011 produce a heavy weight championship battle between Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg?

The disk jockey should probably pick a song by Amy Winehouse or Lady Gaga as the one tune that will always evoke memories of 2011, but since he is a bit of an old foggy who is blissfully unaware that the Sixties are over, he will play us out with the Stones, "Satisfaction," Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee," and Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" (because they conjure up vivid memories of better years). We have to go see if we can get tickets for a revival of "Hair." Have a "Beggar's Banquet" type week.
