I don’t know who/if there’s a A-list movie or TV star in this cast, but I’ll be damned if between the writing and the cast this hasn’t been an above average SNL season. Consistently good at ‘raising the stakes’ on the skits; and it seems like they’ve been more willing than they have in recent […]
Enjoying seeing some of the results of the life I’ve worked for come to fruition. Jogging to home plate with a smile. Happy. Excited. Romantic. So if you know me at all, you know we’re going into the weekend with a song (originally) done by one of two artists. You get two guesses and the […]
My favorite song of hers. Best mix of her vocal range with her natural style. Enjoy!
Caught this clip over the holiday break and (like the live audience) fell in love with it. Aretha shows up and pays tribute to the writer of one of her iconic songs. Prez cries hearing that soulful voice. Wow. Enjoy!
My frat brother (and all around good dude) Lawrence Ross is about to release his next book: ‘Blackballed: the Black and White Politics of Race on America’s Campuses’. Many of you know Brother Ross as the author of the definitive book on African-American Greek letter organizations ‘The Divine Nine’. The state of the world we […]
Hard to find the right balance between ‘MLK Day’ and ‘the weekend’, but this is probably the song. Have a good one gang. If you have Monday off enjoy it. Back Monday night.
This one I love as an artist. The ability to look at something on a sheet of paper and then regurgitate it back out; the mechanical part can more or less be taught to anyone. But to emotionally draw you in and make it feel so personal and immediate? We all love that in different […]
Like some of you, I get a little nervous when a film seems to be too overtly political. There’s a delicate balance in doing those right. But as most of you know, if Clooney is involved I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Especially when I spot a couple other people who […]
Where to begin? Even I (who feel like I’m pretty tuned in) learned a lot more about David Bowie today (in particular numerous different episodes where he spoke out for black artists and black people in general. I know, he pulled Iman, I should have known…) Anyway to somewhat tie it in to my world, […]
Or as I like to call it, ‘Every Date I Went On In My Teenage Militant Phase’… (I keed, I keed…) Enjoy!
