Past and present heros

A moment of silence in remembrance of Ossie Davis.




Thank you for the example of your life, Mr. Davis. As he said about Malcolm X, "he was our Black prince."

The Jill Scott show at the Paramount in Oakland last night was magnificent. Her voice was perfectly beautiful. She sang almost all her songs from both CDs. She chatted and broke it down ("I'm gonna tell you where we went wrong...men, we still need you - even if you're gay, we still need you...). She showed her appreciation and big heart to the audience, who responeded in kind. I'm not excited by many performers nowadays, but Jill Scott is worth getting excited about - she grooves you with love and intergrity! She makes me feel like I'm her friend. Love her love her love her love her!
