I'm super tired, and not sure what to blog about.

Conan O'Brien is wrapping up. And I can usually watch the rerun of The Colbert Report before logging onto the computer, and throwing a blog up here.

During a commercial I went thru the channels, and saw a brief part of the video for the Beyonce Knowles song. It is awful. Horrible music and beats, and the stupid lyric: "If you like it/then put a ring on it."

I read a review in the LA Times a few days ago, that said her CD wasn't very good. They talked about the songwriters involved, and mentioned they were white. I wasn't sure why that was relevant.

I sometimes mention the race of a person when I describe a party, but that's so you can visualize the person I'm talking about. To imply that it's less geniune to have a white guy write a dance tune is weird.

Now, when I found out Glen Ballard co-wrote a lot of that Alanis Morsette CD (Jagged Little Pill), that bothered me. It was supposed to be this angry album, written after a bad breakup. Then we find out a guy co-writes it with her, who has done some hits for other people.

And, in closing, on a music note...I saw the funniest ad in the Times. It was for Tavis Smiley's show. It had photos of the next five guests: Magic Johnson, Ted Turner, Toni Morrison, Natalie Cole, and Yusuf.

Who is Yusuf, you ask? Well, this is the great part. Under his photo it says "Singer/writer formerly known as Cat Stevens."

Now that is what he should be known as. The way we had to call Prince that stupid name for a few years.
