talib kweli and me: aka I love twitter!

If there’s one thing that anyone that knows me knows it’s that I am a major Talib Kweli fan. He is part of my holy triumvirate of contemporary artists that can do no wrong in my book, along with Black Thought and Mos Def. I say contemporary because Stevie Wonder can also [...]

innervisions

I’ve always admired Stevie Wonder for not only his talent, but for being a true genius, visionary and humanitarian. I was finally able to see him in concert last year and can I tell you, it made my life! He is not only a great talent, but he is hilarious. I could listen [...]

michael: he only ever brought me joy

It’s been a year since the sad and untimely passing of the genius that we knew as Michael Jackson. In that time, I, along with Michael’s millions of other fans have cried, laughed, danced and sang along to his songs in memory of everything that he meant to us.

Rarely does [...]

happy birthday to ya, stevie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEVIE WONDER!!!!! Yesterday, I found out about a free (yes, FREE) concert that Stevie Wonder is having in Washington, DC, and going completely against the tide of my life as usual, I was able to procure tickets. So I am truly living in the ‘land of la la’ right [...]
