'Something to talk about other than hair?’

At the end of last week’s results show, Idol-phenom-turned-former contestant Sanjaya (yes, for his remaining 15 minutes, he can drop his surname Malakar) threw in a dig aimed at the judges and Idol Nation. He tried a follicular tweak of Bonnie Raitt’s lyrics during his farewell (at least for now) Idol performance. But other than his hair, he gave us little else to ponder week to week.
