It's the circle of life.
You had to go there It took years the last time to get that song out of my head when we made the mistake of getting the VHS tape as a present for our daughter's birthday (1995? 1996?).

As for bitching about previous winners? I don't mind that much when the bitching is about flaws in the story but when the complaint is about the author's behaviour or lack of political correctness as was the case of one gripe session about Harlan Ellison and his collection of Hugos for short stories/novelettes when he won yet another Hugo in 2011. Yes, he could be an unmitigated ass but he could also write stories that grabbed the reader. At least that's what I felt about I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, Jeffty Is Five, Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman and quite a few others of the stories he penned.

Of course, if I had a working Tardis... I have a little list, they'll never be missed.
