The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.'
One brush stroke stands for danger;
the other for opportunity.
In a crisis, be aware of the danger
but recognize the opportunity.

My Latest Favorite New Song (To Me)
I was reading a Catholic post on Maher's comments on Pope Francis' visit when I read a description that he had won a Dove Award for this performance (like a Christian music Grammy). I was so blown away, I bought a licensed track copy ($1.29 via iTunes or Amazon Digital Music).

Meat Loaf, "Paradise By the Dashboard Light". A classic Steinman track. Given my struggle with weight over the years and my singing experiences as part of my high school choir, Meat Loaf (Marvin/Michael Lee Aday) has been an inspiration. His vocals, however, are on a whole other level; some of the notes he hits in this and other songs are unreal, much more difficult than you can imagine unless you're a performer. (There are other performers with great pipes, like Steve Perry, Steve Tyler, Art Garfunkel, and whatever Richard Harris does at the end of "MacArthur Park".) I've never done vocal training, but I'm not sure I could ever hit some of those notes; I can break into a thin falsetto. By the way, the video of Meat Loaf and Ellen Foley is just incredible--not just the vocals, but the choreography, the facial expressions, etc. I'm not crazy about the underlying theme of premarital sex, but you have to give props to a guy who lives up to his commitments.
