Rihanna: Rated R

November 21 2009

Rihanna’s violent assault at the hands of pop star boyfriend Chris Brown in February hangs over her fourth album like a dark cloud. The Barbadian pop princess of “Umbrella” is startlingly replaced by the angry 21-year-old who declares “revenge is sweet” on the guns ‘n’ gangstas anthem “G4L” and who claims to be “the hottest bitch in heels right here” over menacing synths on “Hard”. “Rockstar 101”, all attitude and no tune, finds her with “my middle finger up” over a brooding guitar line played by Guns ‘n’ Roses’ Slash.

Turn It Off, Please

I was in the middle of teaching my class when suddenly I heard a cellphone ringing softly. "Whose cellphone is that?" I asked my students. No one answered. Instead, everyone looked accusingly at each other. The soft ringing continued and I got impatient. "C'mon ... This is really disturbing. Please turn it off," I said, raising my voice.

To my annoyance, now my students stared back at me with innocent faces. The class became quiet while the soft ringing became more audible. "Hmmm, Funny," I thought. The melody sounds familiar to me. Then it dawned on me that the ringing came from my handbag on the table. Even though I was sure I had turned my cell off, I still grabbed my bag to check. Ooops! It was my phone alright! Sorry, it's my cell phone," I told my students. I didn't know what the color my face was, but I prayed hard the bell would ring real soon.
