I'm not easily offended.  I'm also not a religious man - meaning, I don't subscribe to any particular doctrine (other than Bill & Ted's "Be excellent to each other").  The video below is of Paster Joe Nelms delivering a prayer before a NASCAR race.  There are so many things wrong here I'm not sure where to start, but let me try.  

God (if he or she exists) doesn't give a shit about sports.  Full disclosure - while growing up in Indiana I participated in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes only to realize later that it was a hypocriticial popularity club that had no business declaring itself holy.

Let me also disclose that I grew up in an extremely religous household - both parents are Sunday School teachers - my father an elder in the church.  I myself preached from the pulpit on several occasions, eventually leaving home to attend a Christian college (but bailing after only one semester).  I say that only to say this - I know the scriptures, whether I put stock in them or not - and this is blashphemy of the greatest sort.

My parents never allowed us to say the phrase "Oh my God" - it was considered (to them) using "God's name in vain".  I disagree.  I think the video here is the real definition.  This man is making a mockery of the very faith he promotes.  THIS is the reason that extremists call us "The Infidels".   I'm disgusted.

These little monsters can wail.

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. 2007's Back to Black remains one of my favorite records. I was really hoping that she could pull herself together and coming charging back with more soulful goodness. Alas, she could not. Let this be a lesson to all of us - don't kick people while they're down. There is no "us" and "them" - only "we".

I posted a collab video from Kutiman a few months ago.  He's at it again - this time tackling the Led Zepplin classic, "Black Dog".   Dig it - feels good.

Herbie Hancock was (and is) a legendary jazz artist.  But in the early 80's he dabled in the electro-sounds of hip-hop eventually creating the classic, "Rockit".  "Rockit" was the first song to incorporate scratching - thanks to pioneer Grand Mixer DXT.  This song was also the soundtrack to my award-winning b-boy performance at the 1984 Parke County Fair in Rockville, IN.  This is the only known picture of that event.  I went on to dance at the Indiana State Fair and got my ass handed to me by a five-man crew from Fort Wayne.  They were cool as shit though.
