I know a better way to soothe the savage breast.

I don't think it's a typo, honestly - the quote really is "...to sooth the savage breast."

Ryan - You might hate to be her, but I bet we would all like to see "the savage breasts"

A friend of mine prides herself on the fact that she ONLY reads the "Parade" section on Sunday mornings.

Paul -- Hm... that's interesting... I had never heard the phrase before, but apparently it's normal. However, "to soothe the savage beast" is definitely more common (a quick Google search confirms). Interestingly, it looks like the majority of the uses with the word "breast" refer to music.

So ignore me. Apparently, it's not a typo. And I'm a big dummyhead.

Don't worry about it Ryan - we still love you.

Incidentally, I was in a band called The Savage Breasts. Great Ramones tribute band.

Are the savage breasts related to the vagina dentada?

Speaking of typos, in one of my journalism classes, we were told to be very careful when spelling the word "public." To illustrate, the professor showed us a copy of a headline about the Pope giving a "pubic address."

Did you READ the article though? Music will calm you down - it can help pump you up - and you can dance off stress...(your favorite dancing music will do this) - If you want to just feel good - and not relate to anything (get in a normal mood) - listen to new wave instrumental - stuff like Spyro Gyra is best for my style...it's just plain..."nothings wrong" kind of feeling...From some ugly nasty 2Pac to get you mad to some Fleetwoods "mr. Blue" to put you to sleep - the article rings true...and music ultimately affects EVERYONE'S mood! That's why I have such a passion for it... - Lizard
