Dreams..! Oh lord.

Dreaming of getting to know a young Joe Strummer as played by a young John Cusack, in a huge family of Strummers that were not Mellors, but Strummers - and him having knowledge of his later life, but preferring not to think about it, and me unable to stop from singing along to Death or Glory, among others. And with my army parka with the enormous Clash patch on the back - we got on so well! So well. There were old people in his house, old people who were cranky. My name began with an M, or possibly an A. I was a reporter, but I was a punk, but I was me. We had to sneak around after hours to prevent waking up the old people, and all his younger siblings. He was angry and proud and compassionate, and we rode the Tube all over London, and talked to all the street people.

I hope I dream more.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM NOOOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAGH

However, the truly BIG news was not mentioned at the panel. The Legion of Superheroes appearance on JLU is no coincidence, and I've been told by reliable sources that a Legion of Superheroes animated series is set to go into production immediately after the completion of JLU. And most of JLU> '> s creative team will be moving over to the new LoSH series, with one major exception> ...> Bruce Timm. The new LoSH series is being spearheaded by Sam Register, the Vice President of Cartoon Network.
