A remix can work wonders for an otherwise flat, over-commercial, over-played, over-worked piece of music. But done badly, it can strip out the soul, the very essence of the song and leave the audience with nothing more than a mind-numbing mash-up of noise. With this in mind, it almost seems sacrilegious to trip musical diva-darling Beyonce over the mixers to remodel one of the world’s music royalty. True, her tunes may have been reworked more times than the faces of the cast of Jersey Shore, but, to date the more commercial mixes have been tastefully done while preserving the unique character that Beyonce brings to a melody.

I suffer from hypoglycemia which means that a missed meal or snack results in shaky hands, blurred vision and heart palpitations. A few weeks ago, I had an episode followed with all of the extreme symptoms. This time however the scenario was worst for it was eleven o’clock and I was stuck in Buckhead. My glucose tablets were not on me and of course I could have just stopped at a fast food place to order a meal, but my bag which contained my debit card, I had left at home earlier that morning. With the petty coins that were in my pocket, there was nothing I could do, but buy a Coke and hope that the sugary caffeinated drink would provide the boost that I needed and attempt the trek home.
….The Light$ are so bright they blind me
