One, Two, Three, "Four Women"
Last year, film director Cynthia Mort announced the release of a movie on the life of Ms. Simone. In response to the announcement, a furor erupted over the casting of actress Zoe Saldana in the lead role. Although acknowledging her African roots, Ms. Saldana, born to a Dominican father and Puerto Rican mother, has been described by critics as being not sufficiently "Black" to play the role. Although pressure has mounted on Ms. Mort to recast the role with a more appropriately hued actress, she has resisted.
Random Thoughts.......Take One!!
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago. And people that will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before. I listen for returning feet and voices at the door. J.R.R. Tolkien
Tarantino, Romney, And The Forty-Seven Percent
It's Oscar Week in the Romney household and all over America. So on Sunday, Old Mitt will sit lounging on his lush, fur covered sofa noshing on truffle ganache covered popcorn and watching the Ayn Rand classic, "Atlas Shrugged." Frozen firmly in 1957, the year "Shrugged" was published, Romney is as clueless about the 2013 Oscar nominations as he was about his chances of winning the presidency.

On a silky summer night, I see faintly in the distance the silhouettes of two Black cats in a celebratory saunter down the Champs-Elysees...one of them hoisting a statuette overhead.

But, this is 2013, so he dryly replies, "Just two 'Niggas in Paris'."
Cop Killer, Christopher Dorner, And "John Brown's Body"
Could rapper "Ice T," a product of the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, have envisioned Christoper Dorner when recording his prophetic and controversial cut, "Cop Killer?"
Get Up, Stand Up!! Bob Marley - Still Jammin And Still Relevant
His music, as it did so long ago, continues to heal and reminds us that in this world there is only "One Love." It's Bob's birthday. So, if you live in Colorado or Washington state..."smoke em, if you got em."
Chris Kyle Murdered As America's Chickens Come Home To Roost
The "chickens" are here America...and we have a choice. We can make "chicken soup for the soul," or we can settle for egg on our face.
Gregory Porter - Musical Genius
Gregory Porter is a musician, a "bluesician," a "jazzician," a soulful funkster, a melodic magician, a rhythmic romancer, a vocal Baryshnikov....Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone, Nat "King" Cole, Howlin' Wolf, Stevie Wonder and R Kelly rolled into one....and just an overall cool cat.
