   The SF Gate is a pretty progressive music publication in the Bay area - it’s quite a compliment to Taylor, which the paper sees as a serious artist. You know how progressive they are in that area of the country, don’t you?

   I just watched “DreamGirls” on DVD. No wonder Jennifer Hudson won an Academy Award. She was awesome. Somehow, I can hear LaKisha doing music like this. She has the chops. I don’t think she would sell well with a CD, but, believe she would be dynamite on Broadway, or in a movie musical.

   Morning, Purple! I have no idea why I’m up. I’m sure I’ll pay for it later in the day, when I start to fade, fade, fade.

   Metta, better get your beauty rest then. You know JJ will surely take advantage otherwise. lol
