It's said you can find out a lot about a person by checking out what he has on his iPod, assuming the person has one. So what can you learn about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama based on what he listens to? We'll leave it up to you to decide -- but here's a sampling of what's on his iPod. He tells Rolling Stone magazine that his music collection includes everything from Jay-Z to Bob Dylan to classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma to pop star Sheryl Crow and rock star Bruce Springsteen. As he himself put it: "I have pretty eclectic tastes." Obama says as a child of the '70s, he listened to everyone from Stevie Wonder to Earth Wind and Fire to the Rolling Stones and Elton John. Some of his musical heroes see Obama as their political hero. Wonder, Dylan and Springsteen have all expressed support for his campaign.

Guess you could say The Time hasn't gotten together all this time because they didn't have the time. At least that's why they say it's been so long since they've performed together. But now Morris Day says "the stars are in alignment" and that means they are able to perform together once again. While it was time that let them get back on stage again, it was timing that had to be re-developed to keep them there. Keyboard player Jimmy Jam says performing live with the group again was hard, in part because he had spent so much time in the Flyte Time studios over the years. He says that left him "a little rusty" and that in order to get in step with the rest of the band, he had to "raise my level to their level."

A jazz singer who used to perform with the likes of Quincy Jones and Ray Charles is now singing the blues over her financial situation. Ernestine Anderson is facing foreclosure on her home in Seattle. Public records show she is more than $30,000 behind on her mortgage, including penalties for falling behind.  Friends and family have launched a last-ditch effort to save her home by pleading for donations. They hope to come up with $45,000 to get her caught up and then find a way to help her to sustain herself. Anderson is 79 and gets about $1,000 a month from Social Security.  Now, that's a damn shame!!!!
