Grease Movie Lyrics

Wednesday's intriguing people

The hip-hop performer and mainstream movie actor with a longtime reputation for his star power and socially conscious lyrics will be among a number of artists appearing with first lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday at a White House event honoring poetry. Conservatives including Karl Rove, Sean Hannity and Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are lambasting the invitation based on Common's 2007 performance on HBO's "Def Poetry," which is now posted on YouTube .

In "Letter to the Law," Common rapped about government corruption and police abuse in the inner city. He also criticized President George W. Bush's involvement in Iraq. "Burn a Bush 'cos for peace he no push no button," the artist said. "Killing over oil and grease/ no weapons of destruction."

Palin was the first to bring the clip national attention when she sent a Twitter message linking to a story about the poetry in the right-leaning website The Daily Caller. "Oh lovely, White House," Palin said.

By Tuesday night, Rove, Bush's top adviser turned Fox News commentator, was on the record calling Common "a thug." Hannity used his Fox program to accuse Common of previous drug use and promiscuity. Common has appeared in films such as "Terminator Salvation," "Date Night" and, most recently, "Just Wright" with Queen Latifah. He also starred in a Gap ad, "Peace, Love, the Gap."

She'll be by husband New Gingrich's side Wednesday when he's expected to launch his campaign for the White House. And, like Newt Gingrich's previous two wives, Callista Gingrich will have an integral role in his political persona.

According to a New York Times profile earlier this week, the 45-year-old met her husband when she was a Hill staffer and he was married to wife No. 2, Marianne Gingrich. Newt and Callista Gingrich carried on a secret affair for six years and married 11 years ago. "Depending on one's point of view," the Times article said, "she is a reminder of his complicated past, or his secret political weapon."

European Union officials have identified the youngest brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as the "principal overseer" of attacks that have left an estimated 600 Syrians dead and thousands more imprisoned. Maher al-Assad, 43, is military commander the Syrian army's elite Republican Guard, reports Al Arabiya .

ALONE AT A DRIVE-IN MOVIE LYRICS - GREASE

Stranded at the drive in branded a fool

What will they say monday at school?

Sandy can't you see that i'm a misery

Made a start now we're apart there's nothing left for me

Love has flown all alone i sit and wonder why oh why?

You left me oh sandy

Oh sandy baby someday when high school is done

Somehow someway our two worlds will be one

In heaven forever and ever we will be

Oh please say you'll stay oh sandy
