It’s time to go back to the vault of the almighty Black Sabbath for another installment of Meg Riffs! Today’s pick is the ever-so-slithery “Electric Funeral”. Found on the 1970’s blockbuster Paranoid album, “Electric Funeral” opens side two on with a doom-laden paean to nuclear holocaust. Fun, warm and fuzzy stuff, eh? However, nobody does doom like Ozzy and Co. and this classic does not disappoint. Lyricist Geezer Butler paints a grisly and graphic picture of an Armageddon that may come to pass if we are irresponsible with nuclear weaponry. Yet, as effective as Butler’s lyrics are in bringing this into focus, it is guitarist Tony Iommi’s sinister and serpentine riff that is the dominant feature of this tune. The repetitive and at times lulling melody perfectly sets the tone for Butler’s horrific tale.

Marriage: Know Your Role – Spiritual Commentary
My wife and I were watching Steve Harvey yesterday, and they had a battle of the sexes, round table debate between men and women both married and single. They debated on a bevy of topics but the one that intrigued my wife and I most was: Should women take their husband’s last name? I may be in the minority here but I must admit I wasn’t surprised.
