Photos that had me thinking....

I saw this pic online today and thought, how cute they look, but I couldn't help but feel guilty about my thoughts. I mean should we really praise this relationship seeing as though it was created out of adultery (not to mention Swizz has a kid not too much older then the one he had with Alicia). I am such an Alicia fan and hey if youre a REAL fan like me you were just happy to hear that she found love with a man. Not that the opposite would have lessened my love for her, but its something sexy about knowing that skinny Swizz put it on Alicia enough to make her forget the ladies (maybe, lol). Anyway, Im still loving the evolution of Alicia, just dont want to feel guilty about it lol. Beautiful black love pic regardless....

Then I saw this pic with one of my heroes....Howard Stern of course! I have been a Stern fan for a very long time, and one of the main reasons goes along with the same reason I have love for Tracey. I just think there is something great about getting paid to be yourself and to get paid to be yourself because you entertain other people just being who you are. As a radio person I look at other radio people sideways when they say they arent a fan of Sterns lol. To evoke the kind of emotion he does from his audience is admirable. Believe or not its hard work being the person people love to hate. Ask Wendy, ask Star, ask Rush (even though aint much lovin going on there). Anyway thats my Howard rant, not to mention as much as some of you cant stand her, he did make Robin Quivers the richest BLACK WOMAN in radio!

Kate is the BOMB!


There is so much blogging talent out there and every once in again I would like to big up the folks that are really putting us on to things via blog. Today I biggup my former co-worker, Kate. I believe Kate is Tanzanian which would explain her love for the continent! I went to her page for the first time today and fell in love with the images and the info. Today she informs us why this young man, and many others, look like this because of gold!?!? Yeah check her out... http://katebomz.tumblr.com/

Its the first Inside the Studio of the new year and its all about LOVE!!!

You have no idea how excited I am to share the story Kindred the Family Soul to the Delaware Valley. Aja and Fatin (better known as Kindred) have been in my life since I moved to Philly 12 years ago. I stood in the balcony with my homie, Meagan every week at the Black Lily (5 Spot) in anticipation of them hitting the stage. They were my medicine that I needed after a long day. All they had to do was belt out "The Rhythm of Life" and my week was complete! Not to mention it was always nice to have a TRUE example of LOVE around. I could go on and on about my love for Kindred, the music, the love and the family. Six kids later and they still hold such a confident love that is rare in our generation. February 20 we get the real story of how they hold all that together. Come on out! No work on Monday!

Excuse me while I have a Jill Scott moment....

I was just over visiting her blog and found this video of truly one of my favorite Jill performances ever! It was a summer day in DC, like 2004 or 2005 and I some how got some tickets to the MTV, "Roots, $2 Bill show" at the 930 Club. Right before Jill got on stage Common had just made an appearance in which he got down on the floor for some real Bboy stuff in his sky blue pants (EBadu era lol). But Jill walked on stage and did some miraculous stuff with "You Got Me" a song she had been singing for quite a while up to this moment so I loved how her and the Roots were able to keep that song fresh. I tell you that singers today should be so glad they dont have to match Jill's standard. Man let me stop typing and let you get to this outstanding performance!
