I was in a store the other day and it occurred to me that you never see people like Joni, James Taylor, or Stevie Wonder in the tabloids. I love their music, I know very little about their day to day life (all I know about James is that he's married, lives in New England and has two young twins.) And that's as it should be. And then there's people like Ozzy Osbourne who, in the past, has done a few weird, questionable things, though I also know he has suffered from drug and alcohol abuse, and tbough I haven't followed his more recent works, I love his early albums and alot of the Black Sabbath recordings. I admire his work. I'm not him and I don't really feel like its my place to judge him [Ozzy] or his actions...Roman Polanski probably used bad judgement in this case and I haven't seen "The Pianist" but if he was able to produce a great work of art and overcome whatever shortcomings he possesses(none of us are perfect) then I think there's all the more reason to applaud for him. Everyone has their demons they face...but I think everyone has the potential to do good and the goodness to realize their potential. There are no tabloids in Whole Foods and I find it so incredibly refreshing.
