Ann's column is where I go to relax on Newsvine... and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is thoughtful and caring, and she thinks. Newsvine needs more like her. Add her to your Watchlist... you'll need her one day.
Adding to your blog about song titles with women's names in them:
A disturbing but true fact about some popular songs:
1. Some of the angriest and darkest songs are actually about a love, male or female.
2. Some of the sweetest love songs are actually about drugs.

Ann posseses an intelligence that extends to the emotional and spiritual. It's lucky for me that I've met her here.
