MTV says Shakira and RiHanna are releasing a collaboration next week.That should be a wild single.
The key to understanding Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" is reading the lyrics.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one.
The kid is not my son.
In other words,it's a song about a paternity case.
Aha.Now you know.
I coupled this urban song with Neil Young's classic country track "Helpless."He was a member of Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young at the time,1969.Yes,he really is from North Ontario-Omemee,near Peterborough.The song is so evocative of a place like that,with its large lakes and Emily Provincial Park.He has performed it in the Farm Aid concert.*
The Los Angeles Lakers would like to escape to a rural area after being demolished by the LA Clippers Friday night 123-87 at Staples Center.Done.Sunk.Out of it-or maybe not if Steve Nash can get back into form.For now,the prospects of appearing in the playoffs are fast receding into the distance for the widely followed franchise,with their four game losing streak and being in next to last place in the Pacific Division.The injured Kobe Bryant was appropriately attired for the mood of Lakers fans in his all black suit,watching from the sidelines.
Blake Griffin pulverised the Lakers with 33 points and 12 rebounds.*
By contrast,hopes of New York Knicks fans are rising.They have climbed out of the basement to third place in the Atlantic Division with their three game win streak.They silenced the first place Miami Heat 102-92 Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
We're taking them one day at a time,said star forward Carmelo Anthony.We're still learning.I'm trying to get my team right.We've still got to get better.*
