Canadian singer, Alanis Morrissette, made an appearance on Rosie Live last night.  The show, created by Rosie O’Donnell, was supposed to be a throwback to the old variety shows that we used to love (think Sonny & Cher).  I haven’t read one good review and I’m disappointed to say that my PVR didn’t record it and I can’t find many videos online yet. 
Apparently, Alanis sang "a song referencing the 12 Steps in front of… an endless loop of geese flying through a sunset."  Wow… That sounds very unfortunate (yikes!).  If I find a video, I’ll …read more

Canadian singers, Nelly Furtado, Alanis Morissette and Rufus Wainwright are appearing on a tribute DVD called “Come Together: A Night for John Lennon’s Words & Music” to pay respect to the former Beatle.  It was filmed back in 2001, just weeks after the horrific September 11 terrorist attacks and proceeds from the event, which was filmed at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, were donated to the recovery efforts.

This song, “Not as We” is the second released single off of Alanis Morissette’s album, “Flavors of Entanglement.” The song was written by Alanis. I think it’s a beautiful song. It’s got great lyrics, a good melody and I like the story. I found it a bit repetitive, but I still liked it.

Alanis Morissette is definitely one of my favorite Canadian artists.  She says that the song is inspired by her desire to make people more compassionate and loving in hopes of changing the world (yeah, it sounds cheesy but it’s cool so whatever) rather than focusing on the “symptoms” of global issues. 
The lyrics are good and demonstrate that sometimes the wars we create at home and in our own backyards are just are hurtful as the ones we wage with other nations.
