Dudley Perkins’ “Uncle Ruckus” song makes me laugh. It reminds me of the time I was at Bed Stuy Restoration in Brooklyn and I shared the elevator with another black male. The elevator experienced some difficulty and my fellow passenger said: “Stupid…
When I first heard this story from my favorite radio station, 99.5 fm. I was in shock for it seemed like forever. How could a father do something like this to his own daughter. As the story went on I understood more of why it could happen and probab…
In a "Royal Rumble" of stupidity, the best strategy is to stay at a ring post and let the other contenders duke it out and toss the last sucker standing.

I love my husband. I held him. He held me. The reggae band had us in a trance. Oh, damn. He stood behind me as we swayed. I put my head back as we continued our groove. He moved my locs to the side and whispered in my ear, "You look beautiful tonigh…

Words
General George S. Patton
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices.
Susan B. Anthony
Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.
The Talmud
“Join the company of Lions rather than assume the lead among Foxes.”
Retired General
Eric K. Shinseki
Veterans Affairs Secretary for Obama Administration
“You must love those you lead before you can be an effective leader. You can certainly command without that sense of commitment, but you cannot lead without it. And without leadership, command is a hollow experience, a vacuum often filled with mistrust and arrogance.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted
I try to bring it across on my record, in my dress, in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I'm here for.

*sigh*
I love my husband. I held him. He held me. The reggae band had us in a trance. Oh, damn. He stood behind me as we swayed. I put my head back as we continued our groove. He moved my locs to the side and whispered in my ear, "You look beautiful tonight." I turned to face him and gently put my nose against his nose. I smiled. He smiled. We kissed. It felt so good.
*sigh* We need to go out more. I love my husband.

SARAH PALIN AT THE TEA PARTY CONVENTION
I could spray Sarah Palin's recent speech at the Tea Party convention with plenty of questions, but I'll leave that for others.
I only have one question for Sarah Palin: "You said that you loved meeting with the Tea Baggers. How did you feel about rubbing elbows with people who supported the idea of bringing back 'civics… Continue

Whitewashing Zimbabwe's history.
The documentary Mugabe and the White African, directed by Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson, is an account of Michael Campbell, one of the few white farmers left in Zimbabwe after Robert Mugabe and Zanu-PF began a violent land seizure programme in 2000. It portrays the 75-year-old Campbell's struggle to resist the unlawful seizure of his Mt-Carmel Farm by Nathan Shamuyarira, a senior Zanu-PF politician.

THE “PARTY OF NO BRAINS” – ANOTHER REASON WHY THE TITLE FITS
A table is truly worth a thousand words in this case.
The only context you need is that the table below reflects a recent survey of self-identified Republicans…

A QUICK WORD ABOUT THE GRAMMY AWARDS
I never watch the GRAMMY’s these days but I make sure that I read the nominations to get a sense of whether or not the Recording Academy is dealing with reality.
Here is my naïve question: given the amount of diverse music released in the world from major and independent labels, is it theoretically possible that during the past 30 years the major labels could be shut out of the top ten awards categories in favor of the indies, or at least be marg… Continue

But would you leave your daughter Lily-Rose with him, Mr. D ?
Johnny Depp has defended Roman Polanski. The 46-year-old actor — who worked with the director on the movie The Ninth Gate in 1999 — believes there may be shady dealings behind the scenes concerning Polanski’s arrest for a 30-year-old statutory rape charge.
“Why now?” said Johnny. “Obviously there is something going on somewhere. Somebody has made a deal with someone. Maybe there was a little money involved, but why now?”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star also insisted the 76-year… Continue

Review: Lightspeed Champion - "Life Is Sweet, Nice To Meet You." - Domino Records [2010]
My brother was the first person to hip me to former UKer current Brooklynite Devonté Hynes a.k.a. Lightspeed Champion's music. Easy to remember 'cause it was the 4th of July 2007 when I was directed to a laptop playing a video of a strange looking kid with one of the worst hairdoos in the history… Continue

Jimi Hendrix's "Valleys of Neptune"
by Dan Reilly
Though there have been many posthumous releases from Jimi Hendrix's archives since his tragic death, the recently-announced Valleys of Neptune isn't meant to be a "lost" album. Rather, it's a look at the creative period in Hendrix's life between the 1968 release of Electric Ladyland and his legendary appearance at Woodstock the following summer.
"In the aftermath of Electric Ladyland, he made a series of recordings with the original Experience," co-producer,… Continue

BLACKBERRY OBSERVATIONS
My aim is to try something new every day. The activity could be large or small, physical or mental, and may or may not involve other people. The aim is to feed my curiosity.
My recent new activity was to make random notes in my Blackberry about the person sitting closest to me on the subway. That person happened to be a very large woman. The notes are unedited save for two pairs of asterisks, four additional words and two changes in tense.
