Disabled orphan Emmanuel inspires X Factor judges
17-year-old Emmanuel Kelly, born in Iraq and found in a shoebox with his brother, is quite inspiring. I wish he chose a better song than John Lennon’s “Imagine,” but get your tissues anyway – because this is all about love. Emmanuel says he was found by nuns, so I suppose they were Catholic nuns. Thank [...]
Money – that’s what we want
Yeah, yeah. Money will be the No. 1 issue for most Americans when we vote in 2012, so this song “Money (That’s What I Want)” came to mind.

Pope Benedict: Look closely at Christ crucified

Missing Roy Orbison
The shades. The hair. And the face of a man who apparently didn’t take himself too seriously. How about the lyrics and melodies he wrote, played and sang so sweetly? Roy Orbison was just too cool for words. Years after the tragic deaths of his wife, Claudette, and two sons, 52-year-old Roy Orbison was on [...]
