What happens when you wake up everyday and it’s a combination of Groundhog Day directed by M. Night Shyamalan? I know I am alive (or at least I think so) but I know I see them walking and seemingly living among us… I See Wack People. To whatever degree “Wack” may be dated (no worry, […]
CELEBRITY
By: Richard Ray To say that we live in interesting times would be an understatement. One of the most interesting issues is the idea of celebrity and its pervasive and increasing influence on our society. As Film, Television, the Internet and now Social Media have grown so has the concept of celebrity and fame. The […]
DOES WAYNE BRADY NEED TO CHECK A B****
By: Richard Ray I woke up this morning…actually I could barely sleep…cause the issue of needing to check someone weighed on my mind so heavily. These smartphones and technology have really made some people real dumb…or should I say have enabled people to lose their minds…feeling emboldened to text and email you things that they […]
SPORTS CONTINUE TO CAPTURE HEARTS & EMOTIONS
The Chicago Cubs have won their first World Series since 1908. That is a 108 year absence since the teams last victory. To put it in even further perspective this was the 112th year ever of the existence of having a World Series. There have been multiple generations of Cubs fans who have endured heartbreak […]
BITCHASSNESS
Forget the Walking Dead zombies, vampires, werewolves and the undead everyone is so fascinated with, because the real apocalypse is upon us and I feel like it may already be too late to stop it. Bitchassness is upon us people. Be afraid…be very afraid. If you are not worried, chances are you have already been […]
STATE OF HIP HOP
As hard as I try not to, from time to time I sound like the old school dude stuck in the past when it comes to lamenting the state of hip hop today versus its alleged glory years of the late 80s-90s. For so many, music is a soundtrack for one’s life journey… the first […]
LUTHER VANDROSS
I cannot believe that it has been over eleven years, since perhaps the greatest voice of our generation passed away. I know that many more famous entertainers have passed in that time period, like Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Prince, and while others have been more popular, know one has ever possessed a more pure, […]
PUNK’D
I blame Donald Trump’s candidacy on Ashton Kutcher. For six years he showed how gullible people were and the viability of catching much of America’s captive attention to showing people reacting to and believing the most outrageous scenarios. Is that not Trump’s candidacy in a nutshell. It reminds me of a Richard Pryor joke in […]
WHERE IS HOLLYWOODS VOICE AMIDST THE PROTESTS
Hollywood is noted, even criticized for its liberal politicking. Much of Hollywood has spoken out against GOP candidate Trump and its support for the Clintons and President Obama have been widely documented. Hollywood is star power and while none of us are sure what tangible effect they have on US politics no one can argue […]
PARENTAL ADVISORY
I just read a horrific story about a young lady in Italy who was driven to suicide because of an incident in which a personal “pornographic” video was placed on the internet and went viral. Her attempts to have it taken down resulted in over Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars in legal fees and subsequent […]
