When I heard of the death of Donna Summer this morning, my thoughts went immediately to my best friend Keith LeBlanc, who lost his battle with cancer two years ago.  Keith was a huge fan of "Lady Donna" (as I heard him call her on occasion).  Keith opened my eyes to the 'deeper cuts' of Donna Summer, and I owe him for that.

This one seems to be, in my head, cut-and-dry:  Lowering the flags for non-military and non-heads-of-state is in poor taste, verging on insulting.

I just read it, and it made me sick to think that there are people who look 'up' to this individual (I was going to type "man", but he's no real man).  The report (posted on MTV.com) details the severe beating that Chris Brown administered to Rihanna, and her actions to try to protect herself...
