On the Singing Beat--Turning the Beat Around

Speaking of turining the beat around, Britney Spears was deposed in LA today. We don't mean deposed as the Queen of Pop, since that was an abdication. We mean that the lawyers for Kevin Federline tried to question her in the pending child custody case. The name of her law firm (No kidding-- check out the Daily News website) is Trope and Trope. A trope is a play on words--so here goes. As the famous quotation from the Book of Isaiah (carved into the hall at the UN) says: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their Spears into pruning hooks." Look out Britney and Jamie Lynn--the lawyers are out to beat you (into pruning hooks) in court.
