Pink and the Brain

Ooow Gawd! Do we have to start liking Pink now?

Actually, when she started hanging out with Linda Perry, we figured she couldn't be all bad.  And now that she's done a killer anti-Bush song with the Indigo Girls, we may be forced to ignore her pop tart origins and Top 40 sensibility and actually start listening to her music.

She's been called smart, but obviously not smart in the ways to curb over indulgences in either fashion or liquor or the heeby-jeebies.

Oh, money and idleness can grind even the finest minds to mush.  Luckily, this one seems salvageable. 

Maybe she'll hook up with Medea Benjamin for a little color-coded solidarity.

Johnny Cash's Liberal Legacy

It's odd how psycho pseudo-Christians claim Johnny Cash as one of their own without knowing much about him.  Then again, these Bible-belt types embrace a savior whom they know little about and emulate even less.

Johnny's daughter Rosanne Cash has had to deal with hate mail because, like her father, she isn't exactly a Republican.  Which is to say, she's actually a Christian in the best sense of the practice.
