So---today is the only time I plan on explaining the purpose of this blog. Those who are unfortunate enough to miss this first posting will have to figure it out on their own.

I think my intent will be most easily explained if I spell out who should/should not bother reading my postings:

You should read this blog if:
1) You enjoy listening to music (hip-hop, soul, funk, jazz especially)
2)You appreciate all different kinds of art
3)You enjoy political discourse
4)You think (for the most part anyway) that human beings are screwed up....except yourself, of course
5)You have a special affinity for things that are new, interesting and/or bizarre

You may want to avoid this blog entirely if:
1)You are a bigot
2)You think George Bush pronounces the word NUCLEAR correctly.
3)You are a religious fanatic
4)The only music you like is country or polka
5)You like cream cheese. I'm not sure this will come up, but I REALLY don't like that stuff.

Well, hopefully that clears up a lot and anyone who stumbles upon this page can make an educated decision.

I will soon start posting pictures, and will provide links to other sites of interest. I will direct you to places that have free mp3s, articles and whatever else might be of interest.

Until next time...
