Concerning Music

I've received several emails from people asking about my favorite musicians and music groups. I'm sure most people think that I just listen to Gregorian chants all day, but they are terribly wrong.

I'm a man of the people, so I enjoy listening to world music. I love the way different ethnicities have developed their own sounds. I find world music to be very relaxing.

One song that I particularly enjoy is "You're the Best" by Joe Esposito (off the Karate Kid Soundtrack). It's a song that inspires me and helps me keep my cool. You can't have a bad day when you wake up listening to that song.

Dear Mr. Pope,
In the immortal words of Cole Porter:
You're the top!
You're Mahatma Ghandhi.
You're the top!
You're Napoleon Brandy.
You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,
You're the National Gallery
You're Garbo's salary,
You're cellophane.
You're sublime,
You're turkey dinner,
You're the time, the time of a Derby winner
I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop!
But if, Popey, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

I kind of figured you'd be a Ricky Martin fan. I can see you bopping around to Livin' La Vida Loca.
