She tried to go to the Grammys, but they said no, no, no

Amy Winehouse will not be going to the Grammys (the British government would not give her a visa), but will perform via sattelite.

What the hell is she going to sing? Maybe she should perform a cover of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic".

OK, cheap shot, I know.

I like Amy Winehouse's CD, "Back to Black", but her song, "Rehab", is nominated for 4 Grammys. We all know the lyrics: "They tried to make me go to rehab/I said no, no, no". So, since she's in rehab now (doing well, according to her publicists), wouldn't it be hypocritical of her to sing that song?

What's a pop singer/tabloid target to do?

Would it be less ironic if she sang "You Know I'm No Good" at the Grammys?

'Tis the season to be voting

I haven't enjoyed a primary season like this one in SUCH a long time! First, I'll say, I haven't paid as much attention to primaries in the past as I have this one, but damn, I sure picked a good one. So, Clinton and Obama are in a dead heat (always thought that was a weird phrase). OK. I'm an Obama supporter, but if Clinton gets the nomination, I'm fine with that. If all of the Democratic contestants were still in the race, she wouldn't be my second choice either. However, if it's her, I can deal. I'd like to see how a female president would work. I think, very well. I do feel - though - that we need a real change in this country. The idea of Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton is not appealing to me at all. Yes, things were going well in the 90s, but that's so last millennium. Enough of the past. I think we need a real change, or - to paraphrase Monty Python - we need something completely different. I think that's Barack Obama. As much ...

How I Did It: Confessions of an Ex-Cigarette Smoker

A lot of what I remember about this, I do because I was keeping a quasi-journal at the time. It was in a blue-covered, college-ruled, single subject notebook I'm sure I initially bought for a different purpose. Early morning.  November 19, 2005.  I may have overslept. I remember feeling rushed until I got into the car. Since I packed the night before, I must have overslept.  Ashley West Leonard gave me a ride to Burbank Airport. I was heading to Minneapolis, MN for Thanksgiving at my sister’s house. I was able to visit with them for a full week. Since I was never the wake-up-and-smoke-a-cigarette-before-everything type, I hadn’t had one before the flight. I got to my sister’s and remembered that Beverly (my sister) had quit cigarettes a few years before. I think her husband, Dan did likewise.  I didn’t want to smoke or smell like cigarettes around my nieces, Rebecca Ryweck and Rachel Ryweck. Also, it was November in Minnesota, so...
