Freaky Friday

It is Friday and I don't wanna work. But I feel like writing...or at least posting some randomness. So here are a few things:






The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is calling on artists of conscience to wear orange as we demand the closing of the prison at Guantánamo Bay and an immediate end to six years of injustice. How can we stand by and allow such corruption and bigotry to masquerade as justice. Read more. And remember Free the San Francisco 8!

Where the hell is D'Angelo?! I don't know about the rest of the world, but I'm in need of a D'Angelo album. I know he's had his substance abuse issues and run-in's with 5-0(does this sound like another Marvin Gaye story?), but he needs to get his shit together because the world is falling apart in his absence. Soon recovery black man, please go ahead and drop another musical biscuit.

In other news, why the f@ck?! is every body jocking Rihanna? Is having a 'Badian songbird that much of a novelty that the planet needs to pause and reverse direction to accommodate her presence? She has a big ass fo'head and sounds like she's sangin' through a starburst wrapper. Let it go folks, let it go"...and just walk away" (c) Ed, Love Jones

Lastly, does Team Obama really have a chance? I'm curious to know what folks think. After the caucuses I have mixed readings, but I love the thought of a co-presidential structure. The balance would be phenomenal. Oh, what y'all that Barack was running alone? Shiiiiiiiit. Michelle is gonna be telling whoever, to do whatever, whenever and however she wants...unapologetically. Only because she has the political sophistication and courage to do so. Let Team Obama get up in there and watch the world change or at least 1/4 of it.

For the record: I co-sign with Fidel on the whole Rihanna phenomenon. Yes, her forehead is ginormous and her songs make me want to shove an umbrella down her throat. I also second that D'angelo request.
