you fail to see the flowers on the ground."

Listen - Sleeves on Hearts

I wonder how much he's made in royalties from this song.  I bet you wish McDonald's would hijack your song.


Justin Timberlake - I'm lovin' it

There are a lot of people talking about Michael Jackson.  In fact, i think everyone in the world is talking about him.  But up until yesterday, many of those people didn't have conciliatory things to say about the man.  But even for the ones who did, there comes a time when we all have to remember that he was still only a man.  Imperfect.  We only see the public persona, but is that the real man?  So please, let's all leave judgment to a higher authority than ourselves.  Which brings me to my question.  What is rest?  Everyone keeps saying "RIP MJ", and please get your grief out.  But think about what you're saying.  Two words "REST" and "PEACE".  What do they mean?  I'll let the man explain.
 
"Leave Me Alone"
