		While primarily a personal song about the loss of John Panozzo as seen through Tommy's eyes (and heart), the song also brings together Styx, their families, friends, and fans to share in their loss and gain strength from each other.

	It's Time To Write a Dear John - Bolton's appalling confirmation-hearings performance. By Fred Kaplan
		John Bolton, George W. Bush's astonishingly brazen choice to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, came off badly at his confirmation hearings today—bloodless, evasive, and mendacious—in ways that should give senators cause to reject him, regardless of whether they agree with the president's policies or even with the substance of Bolton's views.
		Joseph Biden, Christopher Dodd, and John Kerry—cited interviews, which the bipartisan staff has recently conducted with these officials and their superiors, to bolster the accusation.
		Fred Kaplan has twice made the case against Bolton; in January he described Condoleezza Rice's appointment of Robert Zoellick, rather than John Bolton, to be her deputy at State as her "first victory." In "No Relation No. 14" Chris Suellentrop explained the differences between Bush appointees Josh Bolten and John Bolton.

	Dear John Letters: Rewriting the Wrongs - PopMatters Music Review
		In fact, the live debut of Dear John Letters came opening for the Posies in their native Seattle.
		What sets Dear John Letters apart from the vast majority of other bands that rely on the Beatles or McCartney or just some revival style for inspiration is that it pulls off the whole thing with so much flair.
		Everything from the low-fi, garage production aesthetic to the skill with which Benson merges the sounds of his heroes into a sort of timeless sonic soup speaks to the fact that Dear John Letters is not merely imitating or playing with retro irony, but is in fact playing their true passion.

		Marital breakdown in Rome and diocesan churches is in fact a fundamental reason for looking for holes in the juridical net [for the happiness and harmony of the people involved], in order to declare the marriage invalid for reasons that may be irrelevant.
		And, pastorally,the CDF claims that the reception of the Eucharist by such a person would bea source of scandal, since the impression would be given that the church doesnot believe in the indissolubility of marriage.
		It also repeats the solutionsthat Pope John Paul II had previously made, namely: separation of theremarried parties or, when this is impossible, living together "as brotherand sister," without expressing love in sexual intimacy.

	"Dear John" (1988) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"Dear John" is about a man who comes home to find his wife has left him, leaving a standard "Dear John" letter on the mantle.
		The show has one of the most maudlin, sappy theme songs in the history of television, with a morose woman crooning "DEEER JOHNNNN..." The opening was lame too, with John coming home to find the letter EVERY WEEK with a heartbroken sigh.
		Dear John was actually very funny, and Judd Hirsch was once again the rock that grounds the show and allows the other actors to shine (SEE: Taxi).

	Amazon.com: Dear John Coltrane: Music: Vanessa Daou (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		All of her albums -and this one does it in an outstanding manner- combine in a flawless style elements of jazz, jouse, and mind stimulating poetry.
		"Dear John Coltrane" shows improvement over her not so well known previous effort "Plutonium Glow" (good but not as brilliant) especially on beautiful tracks like 'I cry for you' and the particularly enrapturing 'Trane Tripping.' If you have been delighted by Vanessa's previous works you are certain to enjoy this one.
		Those who don't know the Daou artistry but who have a taste for performers like Everything But the Girl (their most recent albums) and/or non-mainstream pop-jazz-electronica like Sneaker Pimps, Lamb,Incognito, or Mono will find this record to be a good treat to their ears and minds.
