Blog for the Cure

Greetings! And welcome once again to--you guessed it--the grooviest blog in town, The Grove--I mean, The Groove. And yes, you're absolutely right. We've TOTALLY changed our look. Hope you can groove on it! And now . . . L E T . . . . . . . . . T H E   B L O G G I N G . . . . . . . . . B E G I N ! ! !

Some bloggers blog for the sheer love of it; others, because it's so lucrative. You can usually tell after a sentence or two which type you're reading. In the case of a no-nonsense, hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners blog like The Groove, you're probably thinking, "Gee, on the one hand, they obviously love blogging, and on the other, they're extremely knowledgeable on the issues."

Well, first of all, thank you for the compliment. And second, The Groove is committed to telling it like it is, which includes both telling it like it is, and telling "It" like it is. The Groove: thorough? Of course. All-encompassing? Absolutely. So all-encompassing in fact that Margo Tillman-Blythe of the Los Angeles Times writes, "The Groove simply out-grooves many things that groove but are not blogs, but that still groove, albeit in non-blog kinds of ways."

We've gotten an unusually long way into this installment without mentioning Tommy or Rachie Pie.

    Rachie: Isn't free-styling way heavier than composed rap?

    Tommy: I'm not sure, Rach.

Now that's blogging.
