BBC article on fending off aging. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20181211-how-science-and-medicine-could-cure-ageing "Millenials born after 1981 have a reasonable chance of reaching the age of 135" says one scientist.... what? 100 more years of this shit? (actually, I feel pretty good - I just wish I could stay in this shape for a while longer)

Remember Me from the two Lopez.

Correct! I was hoping/expecting you knew

Not what I was thinking of, and to be more precise, both covered songs appear in the title. Edit: One of these songs covered is a huge 60s hit with a prominent horn melody, the other one is a single from an epic "American" rock album, but not by an American band.

Wikipedia calls it "a medley of covers".

It's one song, about 4 minutes long, but basically a medley of two older songs. It covers them both.

I assume it's correct... Which UK no. 4 hit is a two-in-one cover?

Well, okay, I haven't got one yet, so I do it: Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity

Destiny's Child - No, no, no?

Okay, found a 20th name for my main team I am willing to commit to. I put that name in instead of another and thought, yes, that's it. I think I have about 2 names left to spare that I would be just as pleased with on my team. I have a feeling I will need them, and wouldn't be surprised about needing 2-3 more. My B-Team is a bit of a construction site still. I have enough names for something good though - better than this year. My theme team - well, 5 losses this year so far (though one non-obit). But I'm still hoping for a few classy mid-scoring hits.
