Bend over, Monday. I just might have to kick your ass. I have a hangover, but I haven't been drinking. Sinusitis. Reassuring to find I wasn't hallucinating about Janet Jackson.

» Rickie Lee Jones leans hard to the left and doesn't care who knows, saying liberal and left aren't dirty words. To accentuate her point, she breaks into "Ugly Man", one of her newer songs about a politician who's just like his father. "Tell Somebody", about of all things, the Patriot Act. "Chuck E's in Love", a sentimental crowd favorite was both a solo effort and an extended backup vocals display; the old Gerry & The Pacemaker's classic "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" was a surprise tune. And "Satellites" - always a favorite, still echoes long after it's over. Her voice was the shining star; the main attraction. Very soulful, fun & playful, sorrowful, and sometimes child-like. Filling up aching ballads with her poetic lyrics, unleashing her inner radical, she's equally about the music and the message, remaining faithful to her vision.
