I think this song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and although my basket of 'most beautiful songs' is Mariana Trench deep, this one comes to mind an awful lot. You've probably heard it, but enjoy anyway. It's a hopeful song.

Tyler would like to discuss how a commercial plane was forced to land because a woman farted, and normally I'd be eager to do that, but I was just scanning the wires and saw that the presence of water on Mars has been proven now thanks to new photos. This should be the #1 headline on the local news everywhere, unless Paris Hilton did something provocative today. It was hard to doubt the idea of water, at one time at least, with all the strange formations and channels that have suggested water for a long, long time, but the real thrill with this news, I think, is this stunning concept is finally being accepted by "the mainstream", which incidentally would make a decent band name.

Where there's water, there can be life. I still remember an issue of LIFE magazine that arrived when I was a kid in the early 80s. It was all about how NASA would terraform Mars for human habitation by, oh, they probably said 2000 because back then 2000 seemed so far off. I don't recall their guesstimate, but I'm almost certain that the date has passed. Anyway, the presence of water I recall was something that they really needed to have to make it that much easier to start the process, which is still one of the coolest concepts I've read since then.

Can we keep this sort of thing in the news, please? Pleeeeaaaase?
