Where the Hell is Moses Kuria?

It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans. In a twist fit for a sitcom, Kuria found himself shuffled over to the Public Service portfolio faster than you can say "bureaucratic shuffle". Then, the plot thickened! In a classic case of diplomatic drama, the US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, decided to give Kuria a cold shoulder after cancelling not one, but two meetings with him. The reason? His "foul mouth". Oh, the irony! It seems even the most seasoned politicians can't escape the wrath of a sharp tongue.

Macy Gray - the naked truth

"Que Sera, Sera” was a gigantic mainstream hit for blond-haired, blue-eyed Doris Day back in the day. Written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, the song was composed specifically for an Alfred Hitchcock film, his 1956 remake of his 1934 film “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” The movie starred Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day.

A lot of people have covered the song, including Sly and The Family Stone. But I’ve never heard anyone inject all this funk and gospel into it like Ms. Macy Gray does in a one-off cut taken from a concert at the Wembley.

I’ve got a handful of live Macy Gray and I’m salivating for a "quality" full-length live release (word to the wise: avoid her off-label release "Live in Las Vegas"). Sony, are you listening? Can you hear what I hear?

Sometimes her shtick is a gimmick, but when she is on, she is outrageous and makes no holds barred music like she just stepped off the mothership in all her naked glory—and I’m not exaggerating, in London she did a fundraiser for an AIDS charity, butt-naked, sitting on a chair. She ain’t got no shame in her game.

I know Doris Day is somewhere appalled and chagrined at what Macy has done to her song. What can one say?—que sera, sera!
