I wonder if someone kicked her dog, someone else keyed her car, and that a misguided Merle Norman make-up artist gave her a bad makeover.

He really is a cool president.

I lived in Boca during the 2000 election--in a very liberal district that somehow had a surge for Pat Buchanan. I still have the butterfly ballot instructions. Awful time.

Then when I moved to Nashville ten years ago, I was so innocent about the South. I worked on the campaign to Vote No against an amendment added to the state constitution to ban gay marriage. We worked so hard, and I naively thought we had a shot. We lost 19% to 81%.

I kinda like to just keep inside my little liberal bubble and not get too rattled. But when I can actively promote causes like gay marriage and--especially--separation of church and state, I'm there.

Now, to bring it back to Adam--not too upset abt EW review. I never take their music reviews too seriously. My husband told me the other day he renewed our subscription and how expensive it was. At first I thought, Noooo! I was gonna let that expire! I really see a change in attitude toward Adam since Michael Slezak left. Much snarkier.

Ive been subscribing to Rolling Stone for 30 years. Have always loved Rob Sheffield. I even read his book Life Is a Mixtape. I don't always agree, but he is one person with a true knowledge of rock history and doesn't have that too-cool-for-school attitude that prevents him from championing pure sophisticated pop. (I had to work to shake that indie snobbery in myself even!)
