For those kindred parents who have suffered through the Wiggles like me, this is major news. News which will have to be broken carefully to our 2-5 year old kids. Greg, the lead Wiggle, has to step down because of a chronic condition causing dizziness, fatigue and nausea -- definitely of concern when you are performing songs like Fruit Salad for thousands of hyper active 4 year olds.

Lucky for Tara, me and my mom, we will always be able to say that we actually saw the original Yellow Wiggle in concert. (I have a feeling the new one is that very happy guy with a huge, unnatural smile who is a back up dancer. His moves to me are very exaggerated.) I will never forget that concert- at Universal Studios in a concert hall full of thousands, literally thousands, of screaming toddlers and parents who accosted the Wiggles when they stepped into the crowd, pushing their kids into the Australian mens arms.

I have to admit Greg was my favorite - he was the guy who seemed to run the show. Jeff sleeps too much, Anthony eats to much, and frankly I never really figured out Murray does...

I wish Greg good health and best wishes for his future. He will be dearly dearly missed by millions of kids around the world.
