John McCain turns 72 today. Michael Jackson turns 50. Which would you rather trust with your kids? Which would you rather trust with your country? While you ponder those questions, let’s do the friday5.org Friday Five.

1. What was the last song that stuck in your brain and wouldn’t go away?
While I was getting lunch around today, Madonna’s "Oh Father" got in my head and wouldn’t leave for some reason. I’m horrible about songs getting stuck in my head, seemingly out of nowhere; I think it’s from my training as a musician and my desire to keep things in my head to think about at all times.

2. What’s something that sticks around long after you wish it would leave?
My sister and brother-in-law. Ba-dump-bump.

3. To what use did you put your last sticky note?
I put it on something I asked my sister to drop off for me when she was on her way home. She didn’t actually bother delivering it for a week and a half. Needless to say, this did not make me happy.

4. When did you last have Pixy Stix?
At least twenty years ago. Even at my young age, and with my love of sweets, I knew coloured, overmarketed straight sugar when I saw it.

5. What is something you are a stickler for?
You’re honestly expecting me to pick just a single thing I’m anal about? It can’t be done.
