Random Thoughts
Yesterday the news has been working my nerves. When I started to watch CNN they were discussing the issue of the President not submitting his original birth certificate. Ughh. Don’t we think he is vested by now? The news continued to talk about Michael Jackson’s doctor and the racial profiling of the Harvard Professor…then CNN’s Black in America. I was a little overwhelmed with ‘What is Means to be Black’ and not just being. Being Black is definitely an experience in itself. There are needs for Black outlets. (Like Kinnks.com). But does everything have to be about race? It can be exhausting. OH WELL… so, more on race…
As mentioned on my previous post I saw India Arie and John Legend. It was a fabulous show!!
All Alone
My husband, my date for the concert just started a new job in which he could not get out early. Determined to see India I drove an hour to Charlottesville on my own. Once she came on, I danced and boogied all alone to her familiar songs.
First Time I Heard India
In my hometown of New Haven, Connecticut I went into a small independent music store, Cutlers looking for the new Alicia Keys CD. After asking the Asian clerk for help he said, “No you don’t want to get Alicia Keys. Get this new artist India Arie. You will not be disappointed.” From the time I heard “Brown Skin” and “Ready for Love” I was hooked.
Yesterday I went and saw India Arie and John Legend in Charlottesville, Virginia. I had a great time!! India Arie performed a song called Roller Coaster. No you are not mistaken, it’s not on any of her CDs.
While bobbing and dancing I didn’t do a great job video recording, but at least you can hear the words to this song. Before the video began, India introduced the song something along the lines…. Since we’re in Virginia she explained, what is going on with our man Michael Vick?!Read More
I wanted to write a blog about autophobia, the disease of self hate. I initially had Michael Jackson in mind.
