I Don’t Like What I’m Hearing

Saturday as  I drove along with my children running some errands, I flipped through the radio stations and finally settled on K97 FM which was playing the new song by Kanye West “Monster” featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj. As I made a quick left and then another quick left, this is what I heard….

So mommy best advice is to get on top of this
Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh
I put the *bleep* in a sarcophagus
Now she claiming I bruise her esophagus

Jim Jones & the Jonestown Tragedy

Last night I viewed CNN”s segment titled Escape from Jonestown  hosted by Soledad O’Brien. The segment was about cult leader Jim Jones and the horrific event that took place November 18, 1978 in Jonestown, Guyana in which Jim Jones convinced his followers to drink a punch like drink that was heavily laced with cyanide. On that day 909 followers of Jones’ Peoples Temple  died; some died willingly while others who weren’t so willing were murdered. Escape from Jonestown gave a brief history of Jim Jones’ teaching/preaching, and included in-depth interviews with three of the surviving 33 people of the Jonestown Massacre.
