Last week, I failed to give a special birthday shout out to Nina Simone. After posting my blog, I spent most of the day listening to Nina (partly because it was her birthday, partly because I needed to get Soulja Boy's "Speakers Going Hammer" out of my head). The exercise lead me to Youtube. One of the comments on a clip of "Sinnerman" reads: this is on God's iPod.
I'm stealing that idea for today's blog. What, exactly, is on God's iPod? A few guesses (which may just look like a list of some of my personal jams, because the God I believe in has the same [excellent] taste in music that I have. Me being made in His image and all.):
- Michael Jackson, "Human Nature" -- Like, duh.
- Bob Marley, "Forever Loving Jah" -- Because if the Old Testament teaches you anything, it's that God is a narcissist. A really, really, really, really angry narcissist.
- Tears for Fears, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" -- This is God's theme song. And He plays it over and over during the State of the Union address.
- Meshell N'degeocello, "Devil's Halo" -- Sure, He has beef with the guy, but a bangin' instrumental is a bangin' instrumental.
- Hall and Oates, "Private Eyes" -- Because God is the original Big Brother
- Talking Heads, "Once in a Lifetime" -- God's answer to Talking Heads' profound question, "Well, how did I get here?" is "Me, silly."
- Jay-Z, "Izzo (H.O.VA.)" & "Lucifer" -- Because if God were a rapper, he'd sound like Jay-Z: Can't leave Earth alone, the game needs me.
- Roy Davis Jr., "Heavenly Father" -- Because in God's house, they play house. Gospel house.
- Sam Sparro, "Black and Gold" -- Because can't nobody sing about God the way the gays sing about God.
- Stevie Wonder, "Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away" -- God doesn't like Stevie's math, but He likes this song.
- Neneh Cherry, "Buffalo Stance" -- Mostly for the line, No money man can win my love/it's sweetness that I'm thinking of. But also because it's still the jam.

You mean to tell me, God is not listening to ANY soulja boy? Blasphemy.
Teena Marie - Yes, Indeed -- God likes all of her ballads, but this one makes Her weep.
Nina Simone - I Want Some Sugar In My Bowl -- For the same reason God loves that line in "Buffalo Stance". And because I believe God loves Black women, especially those who know what they want.
I could go on and on but I don't want to get struck by lightning. LOL.

Banning Webber through environs and also removing
Diablo 3 Items the achievements from the course's records is only small and ridiculous. If NCAA won't transform it is methods, an increasing number of skill can omit higher education as well as head out straight to the advantages. Even though it makes everyone unfortunate that these avid gamers will not move foot inside a Billig WoW Gold
school, I can not responsibility all of them a single little.
