that was a great NYT article. BO's mother sounds interesting, indeed!
Barack's mother was a fascinating woman, he should mention her more, she was such a trailblazer.
Maybe that's what people see in Obama, a transcendent spirit.
Thanks Lauren, It was good of you to dig up this article.
Im not surprised Glastonbury tickets plummet with Jay Z. The British music scene is mostly guilty pleasures pop songs, indie bands or singer/songwriters. And thats a good thing.
