Scarlet's Walk (Entertainment Weekly's horrible review of this album made be rethink my infatuation with all of print)<BR/><BR/>2. Venus and Back (studio half only)<BR/><BR/>3.

One of the worst days of my life was getting to drive 40 miles to a movie theater and then being forced to watch SA2.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, not the point.<BR/><BR/>I remember those Grammies. She's just kept getting more and more and more and more.....<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about incorporating some popular music into my classes when we deal with poetry. I want a wide variety of genres, but hiphop is one I know little about. From what you've said, I've imagined the Fugees or Common might be good choices. I've been wanting to ask you to make me a mix cd.<BR/><BR/>If you have time, do. But don't neglect your real life to do so.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'll need lyrics.Th.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16460795570237872290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14843205.post-1127406076810601042005-09-22T10:21:00.000-06:002005-09-22T10:21:00.000-06:00Lauryn Hill was actually on the soap opera As The ...Lauryn Hill was actually on the soap opera As The World Turns before Sister Act 2, though I have never seen it. I saw Sister Act 2 several years after it came out (I was a missionary at the time, actually; watching movies is another thing missionaries are not supposed to do). My eyes opened wide and my mouth dropped. "That's Lauryn Hill!" I have watched the movie several times since even though it's not great, simply to hear Lauryn sing "His Eye is on the Sparrow."

And it's driving me CRAZY that a little over three weeks ago Rolling Stone reported that the Fugees were going to release a new single (remember, eight years?) within three weeks, and other sources have confirmed that a song has been recorded, but still the song has shown neither hide nor hair anywhere on the internet, which is of course the first place it'll show up when it does.B.G.
