“The 6th Sense” is a song by the hip hop artist and actor, Common (aka Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.) from his 2000 album release, Like Water For Chocolate. The title of the album comes from the novel of the name title by Laura Esquivel. The phrase “Like water for chocolate” refers to someone who has reached their boiling point (in many Latin American countries, hot chocolate is made with water instead of milk.) According to Wiki:
“The song’s lyrics discuss afrocentricity, hip hop culture and various social issues. “The 6th Sense” begins with an introduction in which Common states “the revolution will not be televised, the revolution is here” referencing the famous Gil-Scott Heron song named “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.”
A little rhyme made up and performed by Sabina, Eva, Maria, and Maya.
The Tissues of Life website allows you to see real pictures of tissues. In the Look section, you can see magnified pictures of different areas of your body, including the Body Slice, which shows a “sliced” view of the human body! There are also games, although I’m not sure why the windows for the games are so teeny tiny. Anyway, it was cool images to check out!

Musical Notes:
“Every Breath You Take” is a song released in 1983 by the Police, a British band, originally formed in 1977. The song was written around the time leader singer, Sting, and his wife divorced. It is a song about a controlling jealous person who has been rejected by the person he loves. Apparently some people have misunderstood the lyrics and took the message as a positive look on love. Ooops.
The video was ranked #19 on MTV’s best music videos.
“Brain Washers” is a song by the Californian rap duo, Blackalicious. Rapper Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel are known for writing fast-paced complex and often political/conscious rhymes paired with awesome beats. The song was released in 2002 off their record, Blazing Arrows. This song features Ben Harper who sings the chorus “Tryin’ man I’m tryin’ lies and lies ain’t buyin’,where to I go, where do I go?”
