SNL delivers a hefty chuckle moment (a rare instance these days...Ha!) with this send-up of Fox News assessment of Obama's year in the White House. While we're all waiting for the Health Care Plan to hopefully pass the Senate, we can all have a laugh
The buzz and controversy surrounding Jay-Z’s single “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) ” this past summer, while putting the 39-year-year MC in the position of wrathful daddy against a new generation of rap artists—some reliant upon the voice gadget for
While fiending for new soulful house music and club tunes I haven't heard in years, I came across this documentary, a thorough and entertaining dissection of disco/club's foundation on the dance floor and on wax. Being the former Zanzibar and Choice
Ras Baraka was not among the figures dubbed the “new black political leadership” by pundits last year. But, to some, he could be considered a precursor. Well over a decade before Obama electrified the American presidency with black youthfulness or Adrian
Still can't believe it. But since we're walking down memory lane, I'm remembering Michael's robot during Dance Machine. Always stopped me in my tracks as a kid. Rest in Pea
On the last leg of paperback promotion of Somebody Scream. And this leg will be in Los Angeles. I will be reading at Book Soup on June 11 at 7PM. Store is located at 8818 Sunset Blvd. So to all my L.A. people or folks in town during that week: ya'll

Here we go again: struggling publications using unspoken racist images to boost profile and sales. By now, most of you have seen the cartoon in the New York Post, the take-off of the chimp attack in Connecticut. Of course Al Sharpton has begun to speak
For most people, the name Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones is synonymous with the film Breakin’ and its lead character Ozone. But for street dance enthusiasts the world over, Shabba-Doo, 53, is the link between street dance as art and street dance as big

During Bush's second term I often wondered, with such dissatisfaction among most Americans about his policies, why wasn't there a massive display—done by ordinary Americans—of that sentiment. I had more of an angry demonstration in mind, something a
Have spent the whole day glued to the TV...And am so happy!!!!!!!!!!
I had to put up one of my favorite speeches—King's talk against the Vietnam War in 1967. Though it's the least celebrated speech, it so speaks to America today. As most of you out there, I'm so looking forward to the inauguration
Happy '09 my fellow Anarchists. Last year was an amazin' and an eventful year, to say the least. The nation got a F'ed -up economy and responded by electing a black prez . And I got a baby, a book and, oh, a black prez...lol. Again, I'd like to everyone
