		<description><![CDATA[I became aware of Chris Kirby a few months ago while browsing iTunes by searching &#8220;arthritis.&#8221; Low and behold, I stumbled across Chris&#8217; &#8220;Arthritis Song&#8221; from his album &#8220;Chris Kirby on Rum &#38; Religion.&#8221; I was immediately captivated after only sampling the 30 second preview.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently watched an ABC special titled, Michael J. Fox: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist.
