Over at jmhm, a discussion of (and link to) really bad seventies pop music. Damn. Now I have "Angel of the Morning" stuck in my head.

But what about the eighties? I don't care how popular the song was, or how brilliant Bobby McFerrin is (which I will concede), every time I hear "Don't Worry, Be Happy" I want to commit an act of violence, preferably upon the singer or songwriter. That it beat out Tracy Chapman's brilliant, searing, "Fast Car" for Song of the Year is both an indictment of the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and a sad commentary upon America in the Reagan/Bush pere years.

Hey, phinnia...

I've been thinking....

If they decide they really need to give Benson a love interest on L&O:SVU, why not Ed Green from L&O? Her intensity matched with his cool... I think it works. Also, they're both tall.

More and more these days I am struck by how fortunate I am that I get to spend all the time I do hanging out with my kids. I love them, but more than that, I like them a lot. We actually talk about things.

And yes, I know, every mom says her kids are cool. And every mom is right. But mine really are.
