At what point did the Black Eyed Peas become the most bankable pop act in the world? Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie could record the sound of a collective trump, put it on a loop with some crashing beats behind it and still likely find themselves taking all the No.1 spot for 2 months. What’s more, sales of last year’s The E.N.D. LP now total a gigantic 7 million around the world. Rock That Body is the 4th single from the record and there is no reason that it should not follow the other three in heading to the peak. With hot-right-now producer David Guetta on knob-twiddling duties, it’s got lots of battering beats, synths that sound like they have been full of Red Bull and more twisted vocal effects than a mp3 of Akon cutting loose in a vocoder factory. It’s fairly simple stuff and it will without doubt grate something rotten on the 36th listen…
But will you care when you are body-popping to it after one too many shandies on a Fri. night? Black Eyed Peas have secured a second week at the top of the Billboard hot hundred with ‘Imme Be’. The group hold off competition from Young Cash , who climbs one place to 2 with ‘Bed Rock’. Rihanna jumps fifteen to 8 with ‘Rude Boy’, the 3rd single from her Rated R album to go into the top ten. Some place else , Woman GaGa’s ‘Telephone’ rises another 2 places to twelve and The Script’s ‘Breakeven’ continues its steady climb, going up 3 to nineteen. The highest new entry comes from Ludacris, who debuts at 46 with his Nicki Minaj collusion ‘My Chick Bad’. Taio Cruz’s ‘Break Your Heart’, which latterly topped the US iTunes chart, enters the countdown at 53.

A book in Scholastic’s Dear America series, Christmas After All: The Great Depression Diary of Minnie Swift by Kathryn Lasky is the heartwarming story of an endearing family coping with the adversity of the Great Depression.
A book in Scholastic’s Dear America series, Christmas After All: The Great Depression Diary of Minnie Swift by Kathryn Lasky is the heartwarming story of an endearing family coping with the adversity of the Great Depression. The story is told through the diary of Minerva Swift, youngest of four sisters and the second-youngest child in her family. If you can suspend your disbelief that an eleven-year-old would write an average of five pages of flawless prose every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you are in for a treat.
The Swifts live in Indianapolis in 1932. Although they are struggling less than most families (some of whom we glimpse both in the Swifts’ neighborhood and in the shantytowns), they do have to adjust their lifestyle — their menus, their purchases, their activities. As Minnie astutely observes, “I think that there has never been such a collision between realness and fantasy. It is as if we are standing with our feet in the muck and grime of these hard times but our noses are pressed up against the window of some fantastically glamorous world.”
Indeed, the juxtaposition of reality and fantasy pervades the book. People gather around the radio to listen to Jack Benny, Buck Rogers, or The Shadow; they go to the movies that provide an inexpensive, though temporary, escape from their troubles. They look for some magic to change the conditions of their existence. Willie Faye, an orphaned cousin who comes from the Dust Bowl of Texas to live with the Swifts, looks to faith rather than to magic for the change. (Despite this — and the fact that the book deals with the month leading up to Christmas — Christmas After All is not a religious book. It should be appropriate for use in a public school classroom.)
In Christmas After All we see a family showing optimism in the face of hardship, humor in the face of fear. Family members must determine when frivolities become necessities — and they show great resourcefulness in making gifts and fashioning new clothes. Christmas After All gives a vivid picture of life during the Great Depression, and it holds lessons for all of us — especially during our challenging economic times.
