A Hometown Hero.....

A crisp March Sunday morning, I arose from my slumber, waxed my locks, and headed downtown w/ J-Ho and Dr. J to see Piddy's movie, "Hero Tomorrow." Once there, we ran into the star himself & his family, including Salexis. We cut in line and all waited in great anticipation to be herded into the theatre. According to Toddling Bruce, the second theatre had better sound, so off we ran. The lights were dim, J-Ho and I were having heart palpitations in our sheer excitement that we were about to witness Piddy on the big screen. It was a good movie, many funny parts ala Piddy. The Squid part had me baffled, but other than that, I enjoyed it....and what a plot twist. There was a little Q & A at the end of the film, I took a few pics, but they just didn't turn out that great. But I was able to track down the star & get his autograph, as well a pic with him. Amazing!!!!!

The movie was followed by an excellent brunch at Dr. J's crib. Mad props to Dr. J for a kick ass menu, and mad props to Piddy on an excellent role as David/Apama!!!

Peace out,

Daylight Savings Random Ten

It's been a while since I've done an R-10, so while I'm sipping my morning cup o' java I thought one was in order. Happy Daylight Savings to all of the fellow Clevelanders that have been enduring the oh so lovely gray days of winter here in the beautiful land of Cleve. I don't know about all of you, but I'm high on UV rays right now!! Oh yes, and for those who don't know, some people are getting together to check out Piddy's role in Hero Tomorrow next Sunday at 11:45am, Tower City, be there. On with the 10......Enjoy!!!

1. Thang - Eddie Bo & The Soul Finders from an Eddie Bo Collection. Contrary to popular belief, James Brown is not the Godfather of soul, he just perfected it. Eddie Bo is the man!

2. Crash And Burn - Sheryl Crow from The Globe Sessions. Too slow, downer song, I'm skipping it.

3. Try/Love Rain Remix - Jill Scott from Who Is Jill Scott (Words & Sounds, Vol. I). Wurd!

4. Who Is He - Bill Withers from Lean On Me, The Best Of. Great track about a cheatin' lady.

5. I Want You To Want Me (Live)- Cheap Trick from a mixed cd I made. Fuck Yeah!!!

6. Speaking Of Tongues - Michael Franti & Spearhead from Stay Human. Everyone should have this album. It's great.

7. Stuck In The Middle - Stealers Wheel from another mixed cd. Reminds me of "Sink or Swim" at Cavanaugh's in West Philly. Shout out to Mel L, Jose, Carolyn, & Soby!!!!!!

8. 1,2,1,2 - Redman & Methodman from Blackout! Another memory of 4221 W. Philly style!

9. Calling All The People - 4 Non-Blondes from Bigger, Better, Faster, More. Don't know why this group never got the props they deserve. This is a great album.

10. Live in 1999 - Erykah Badu & The Roots from a little mix I like to call Summer Break 05. Recorded live New Year's Eve 99, ?Love has a funky ass killer solo on this track.

A sweet R-10 for this Sunday. Some memories were brought back on this one!! Have a great Sunday y'all.

Everyday Observations/Advice for RTA riders...

1. Constantly checking your watch and looking down the tracks will not make the train arrive any faster.

2. Grabbing your toddler by his/her arm and lifting them into the seat is NOT a good idea.

3. It's rude to push your way onto the train before letting people disembark, especially when those people are dragging toddlers by their arms while maneuvering a stroller with yet another child inside.

4. Banging on/punching the side of the last car of the train while it is pulling away will not make the driver stop, in fact, the diver can't even hear you. Walk faster next time.

Peace out,
