...terribly surprised, by "Is Feminism Dead?" Nah, TIME just doesn't get it. That you could do a story on feminism and not talk to the editors of Ms. reflects either ignorance, arrogance or an obvious bias. I think the latter, since you chose to ignore the breadth and depth of feminists' concerns and activism, exactly what Ms. reports on. Feminism and the women's movement are alive, very well and clearly focused on women's economic, political and social equality. And no, it is not all about white women.

...should be sung on the Great White Way, not at a grunge concert. "No Time for Waiting" also feels like a showtune--it is too cartoonish, with no reality to its emotions. Perhaps these two songs would fare well as inspirational (read: cheesy) Broadway songs, but for listeners expecting depth, they do not make the cut by a long shot...

It matters not, for this is less a tale of literary gamesmanship than a parable of friendship. What would you do for a friend, a lover, the family you feel trapped by? Who deserves your most annihilating sacrifice? What are friends for, anyway...
...particularly impressed by the profile of "the Queen of Soul," Aretha Franklin. You explored her legendary career in depth and noted her ties to gospel music. Not to disparage the excellent essay on black female blues singers, I do have one quibble. The true liberators of black female singers were the great gospel women. Their vocal and physical expressions were a potent, yet separate, part of the patriarchal church. Mahalia Jackson once said, "Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help." And she also commented, "Gospel music is nothing but singing of good tidings--spreading...
