We know there is real news going on like Gov. Schwarzeneggar's less than pleasant visit to Santa Monica College yesterday and that we're going to have another special election in the fall. There are also those pesky memos that keep showing up in British newspapers but we can't be bothered with such matters when Napster2Go has delivered their "He Beat It - Michael Jackson Gets Off" playlist.
How can we be concerned with politics when "Boys Don't Cry" by The Cure leads into "All These Things I've Done" by The Killers and while Billy Joel sings about the "Innocent Man" Jewel wants to know "Who Will Save Your Soul"?
We simply can't.
