I figured that title would get your attention. But let’s be real here. It’s not as if it’s a complete lie. A generalization? Yes. But a lie? Not exactly. As we know due to the Grammy Awards earlier this week, Chris Brown and Rihanna have been thrust back into the spotlight following their tumultuous relationship [...]

If You Knew Someone Had Just Died Where A Party Was To Be Held, Would You Still Go?

I have to ask because that’s exactly what folks from throughout the music industry did last night.

The Greatest Voice Of All Time

I remember a few years ago when Michael Jackson passed away. I entitled that, The Day The Music Died. I did a couple of posts on him.

It is with great sadness that I report this. I wrote about her a couple of weeks ago. The body of Stacey English was found under a tree in southeast Atlanta.
