¡VIVA RIVAS!

Well, I finally got around to figuring out how to use this PHP poll I downloaded in November. For the 2007 inaugural VivaRivas.com democratic exercise, please help steer Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau's musical tastes in a more, well, tasteful direction. For those who missed it, last month J & J attended a Justin Timberlake concert and gave it two thumbs up. Not to be a snob...OK, maybe so. But the point is, surely there are better ways to spend $33 million. That is what Ticketmaster is charging these days for concerts, isn't it?

So please vote for one of the next five artists scheduled to perform at the Xcel and help make the M & M boys not just great ballplayers, but great cultural citizens. I'll be sending the Minnesota Twins an e-mail with your cultural recommendation for Justin and Joe. No joke.

Voting closes whenever I want it to. And I'm going to try to figure out a way for people to vote more than once, so please check back or just vote at a different computer.
