Single What? Female...

"Bush? This is Sharon..."

One of my favorite bands is a classic soul/funk band called Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings. I can guarantee you a good time if you go out and see them as the band is TIGHT and Sharon Jones is this spark plug of nonstop soul with a voice and energy that won't quit. You HAVE to go out and see these people if you appreciate soul and funk music at all. ANYWAY, the main reason for this bit is:

We were all recovering from the Inauguration and Sharon herself had a few things to say about it. She would like to go up to the White House and say "Bush! hey, Bush! This is Sharon and the Dap Kings, and we've got something to say..." She does a great impression of George's twitchy smile, by the way, and after stating that George seems to have forgotten that the country is not just his to play with and mess with, she went into a fantastic version of "This Land Is Your Land" You can hear this on the new album they have just put out called "Naturally" It comes out in the stores this coming Tuesday (though I have heard the whole thing as I won a copy that night...so good...soo good.)

Peace --Alex
