anne murray, coldplay, joan osborne

anne murray---- amazing grace

coldplay---- don't panic

joan osborne---- one of us

these are the songs that i've been listening to a bit lately.

i really appreciate the film garden state. coldplay's song is on that soundtrack.

i have been getting more into coldplay. good stuff. the other two are more religious, and that is good sometimes. faith in Jesus is an ongoing thing, and worship can be in many various ways.

don't panic is probably a reference to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and those books. good stuff. i'm going to re-read those soon.

the main problem: ok, earth is a problem. waiting for a solution. do we believe in capitalism? or do we want to create a solution that is beyond capitalism? where every child has shoes, where every hungry stomach is fed? is there a way to do that other than our current system? douglas adams talks a bit about that. most of our problems seem to have to do with money on this planet. but it's not the green pieces of paper that are unhappy.
