Admittedly I’m biased but the original, Shuggie Otis version, is (arguably) the greatest song of all time. Let’s discuss…

“Strawberry Letter 23” by The Brothers Johnson was released as a single 49 years ago today.

If they complete the deal there’s a long passage in my book about my Pops’ performances and trips to SF and Oakland in the foundational Bebop era

It was crazy that I ended up living in West Oakland right inside the historic “Jazz District” and this was one of the places they often visited after official gigs in San Francisco — he said they’d tear off their bow ties or ties and suit jackets or tux coats and sometimes throw them out the windows of the car over the Bay Bridge.

Back settled in Oakland where they would often couch hop or crash with Ladies they met or other musician friends they’d gig all night at spots like Esther’s Orbit Room

He said the highlight of every trip to the Bay after being paid for their big shows in San Francisco was meeting up in Oakland playing for the love of music and the women who’d prepare them late night meals or breakfasts like fried fish with grits and greens or any kind of delicious soul food that they’d also get to pack up and take on the road for the next leg od tour.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

This headline says it all: "A nonprofit keeps 95% of clients out of jail and in court. San Francisco Courts want to kill it."

And not just kill it. Steal its entire budget (and then some) & hand it over to armed probation officers instead. Outrageous.

able-bodied persons had better wake up to the (inevitable) fact that if they/we live long enough, we will be disabled; & if we live longer, we will be severely disabled. this MAGA/GOP war against "disabled" persons is actually terrifying.
you may think that you are 100% healthy but, face it, you are one bloodwork or CAT-scan away from un-healthy. one hour in your life can alter it forever.

have some sympathy for the disabled & what this administration is threatening before it is too late.

A tribute to John Coltrane:

I combined family footage and performance clips into a music video for one of my favorite songs of his, “Equinox”.

Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.

My latest write-up contains my thoughts on the new motion picture from rapper and filmmaker @BootsRiley.

I Love Boosters
(@iloveboostersmv)

It stars Keke Palmer, Demi Moore, Taylour Paige, LaKeith Stanfield, and more.

I discuss my experiences seeing the film on two separate occasions, the original score crafted by the Tune-Yards, as well as my prior knowledge of Boots Riley's artistry.

I'm going to gather my hard drives and finish my last few pieces of work for the afternoon, then come back and pay homage ot the late, great Dexter Wansel.

His music took us to the outer limits of the stratosphere over and over again.

From Allah (swt) we come and verily to Allah (swt) we must return.

We could be looking at an exceptionally low turnout election, when one of the most important and safe Congressional seats in the country is on the line—and so is the future balance of the Board of Supes.
