Who says there is nothing good on the radio? A couple of the songs I'm really enjoying are Rob Thomas's Ever The Same and Talk by Coldplay.

One song I cannot stand is the new song by Rihanna called S.O.S. (Rescue Me). This song is your typical R&B sounding single. In fact, I thought it was done by Destiny's Child when I first heard it. The reason this song is terrible is because it is filled with cacophony. Not only that but it samples two really good songs: Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus and Tainted Love by Soft Cell. First of all if you are going to sample one of those songs, or both as this song so boldly does, the song better be kick ass.

And in gay news, a Missouri, yes Missouri, court overturned a ruling that had denied a woman her application to become a foster parent because she is a lesbian. The Missouri Department of Social Services had originally denied Lisa Johnston and the new ruling is supposedly, based on a poll done by Peter D. Hart Research Associates, the favor of 58% of Missouri residents. That means that more than half the residents are opposed to banning gays/lesbians from adopting or becoming foster parents. I'm not sure how accurate the poll is but that's big news.

peace out,
