Whitney Houston — “One Moment in Time”
(from Whitney: The Greatest Hits
Of course, I am glued this morning to CNN and its coverage of Whitney Houston’s funeral in New Jersey, which I pray is going to be a classy and tastefully handled affair. (I say pray because Piers Morgan is slated to be the lead anchor once the service heads into full swing, and he loves little more than kicking up a shitstorm of sensationalism and then swaddling it in whatever the British equivalent of aw shucks humility is.) Needless to say, Whitney’s family and friends — and, surely, her music — are in my thoughts today. (By the by, please keep my sister and nephew-to-be in your thoughts on this day: she is five months into what has become a less-than-ideal pregnancy, and she and that beautiful baby need all the great karma and energy we can send them this weekend.)
