The Late Night Music Express with…….Dio

This song was from right smack dab in the middle of the 1980’s.

Dio, who had just left Black Sabbath, released this song.

The visual imagery is typical of that time period. Where in the late 1960’s and throughout the 1970’s it was nuanced, in the 1980’s it was outright, it was very Church-like and borderline occult-like. Which drove the Fundamentalist Christians crazy, they perceived as a attack of the mean ol’ devil. In all reality it was simply a marketing tool or a fad. The point is that it worked, and sold records.

I could tell you some very humorous stories about being in Church and hearing the wild tales about backward masking, Satanism. I laugh about it now, but back in the day, it was serious stuff.

This is “Holy Diver”:

This one is for Brother Hayes

Politics is one thing, real life is another….

In case you haven’t heard. We lost another legend.

Enjoy this video, it captures a master at his trade, at his best. This is “Stormy Monday”…

His List of accomplishments include:

Hayes was a longtime songwriter and arranger for Stax Records in Memphis, playing in the studio’s backup band and crafting tunes for artists such as Otis Redding and Sam and Dave in the 1960s.

He released his first solo album in 1967, and his 1969 follow-up, “Hot Buttered Soul,” became a platinum hit.

In 1971, the theme from “Shaft” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks and won an Academy Award for best original theme song. The song and the movie score also won Grammy awards for best original score and movie theme.

Hayes won a third Grammy for pop instrumental performance with the title track to his 1972 “Black Moses” album.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

Isaac Hayes music embodied the black experience, Issac asked in his hit tune “Shaft”, “can you dig it?” and to that I simply say, yes, we all dug it, on some sort of a level or another.

I am sure that some asshole White, High-brow, Conservative and some other Conservative Minority will snivel at this man and dismiss him as a Liberal who promoted Identity Politics, But he was about so much more than that.

I, for one, am quite sorry to learn of his passing, an era in music has just ended. 🙁

May he rest in peace.

Another reason why I cannot STAND President George W. Bush

Look for this to be the next big story.

Seen at the Houston Political Blog (via HuffPo)

Update: Video was Pulled head on over to the Site and watch the video.

Update #2: Here’s a snippet of it:

The Basic Transcript:

It is uncertain, there’s no question about it.

Wall Street got drunk, it got drunk, (it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your tv cameras.) It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up, and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.

And now we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently, not in Dallas, because Laura was over there trying to buy a house today. (laugher.. Crawford!)

I like Crawford, unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker. She’ll be deciding, thanks for the suggestion! I suggest you don’t yell it out when she’s here. Later, telling her “Hey honey, we’ve been on government pay now for 14 years… so go slow!”

It’s uh.. caused me to lose my train of thought. Anyway.

As a caveat, the cameras were supposed to be off, but obviously, a tape was rolling. But still it speaks to the Political tone deafness of the President. He is yucking it up, while people are losing their houses and while people are dying, because of a pointless and undeclared war in Iraq. Yes, I know, the surge has worked, but still to the general populous of America, this just looks bad. This also could possibly hurt McCain in the long run, because I have sneaky suspicion that the 527’s and possibly Obama campaign might use a video like this, to do a hit job on McCain. In a attempt to try and push McCain closer to Bush.

A article that I think everyone needs to read.

I think all Americans should read this.

“Obama ain’t black.”

I turned to look over my shoulder to see who had uttered that ridiculous statement.

“Pardon Me?” I squinted at the dark-skinned man who had just interjected himself into my over-coffee conversation with my buddy, Kevin.

“Obama ain’t black.” He said again more matter-of-factly as he walked around the porcelain dividing wall and stood at our table where he could be more active in our conversation.

“My name’s Andree,” he said as he extended his hand. “I couldn’t help but hear what you boys had been discussin’ and I don’t mean to stick my nose in where it don’t belong, but I couldn’t leave without settin’ you straight. Obama ain’t black.”

I looked at Kevin as he shifted nervously in his seat, not sure how to take this visitor to our table.

“Well, have a seat Andree,” somewhat trying to judge the book by its cover. “I’m Dave, but most folks call me Coach, and this is Kevin.” Kevin extended his hand politely.——- Click the link to read the rest of Conveniently Black by Dave Daubenmire (via NewsWithViews.com

I will simply say the following, that it is pretty telling when Obama is doing better in White America, out in places where blacks are in rare supply, than he is in the more urban communities.

I don’t have much to add to this article… Because Dave says it all in this article. Enjoy.

Editorial: The Great disgrace of Detroit — Kwame Kilpatrick

I write this editorial today, not with smugness or with an attitude of haughtiness, But one of sadness and dismay for my beloved city in which I grew up. I sit here tonight at 4:19 A.M. absolutely disgusted by what I read about the Mayor of the City of Detroit.

It seems that Detroit’s Democrat Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick is involved, in yet, another scandal. This is because Kilpatrick supposedly “pulled strings” to get some Baptist Preacher off some Prostitution Charges.

Local Station WXYZ-TV’s Steve Wilson has the story:

I simply am going to ask this, What in the name of the Almighty God, is it going to take for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign as Detroit’s Mayor? Will it take dragging his poor mother through the mud? Will it take the State of Michigan to file charges against this man and him possibly him ending up in jail, and ruining his family?

How is it that a man, who seems to believe that he is on some sort of Messianic mission to be the Mayor of the City of Detroit, can simply be deluded enough in his own mind to believe that he is above the law? Christians are no more above the law, than anyone else in this wonderful Country of ours. The very idea that the Mayor of the City Detroit knowingly lied under oath to protect himself and his female lover for a lawsuit speaks to the very core of the Kilpatrick’s soul. In that soul, I see not a man who has been changed by Christ, but rather a dark soul, who will do anything to avoid being held accountable for his actions.

Yet, when the very citizens of the city that Kilpatrick was sworn to serve, attempt to hold Kilpatrick accountable. People like the local Detroit media, the first that that this liberal thug likes to play is, of course, the race card.

“I have never been called…. A nigger”


They were the words that sent shockwaves around this city. An African-American Democrat Mayor, who just months previous to this had marched with the N.A.A.C.P. to ceremonially bury the N-Word forever was now lashing out at those who dared to question him about his conduct, while in office.

What started out as a local story, has now evolved, into national disgrace, a disgrace to the Democrat Party; of which Presidential hopeful Barack Obama was not seen with, at all, for fear it would hurt his campaign. A disgrace to all of the African-America leaders who gave their lives, got their heads beaten in, all so some Mayor could act like he was above the law.

However, is not that what Socialism is, an attitude of entitlement? You must give me this, because I am black? It is certainly, what the Democrat Party promotes in their ideology.

It is anyone’s guess how this will all play out. If Kilpatrick had any semblance of common sense; which seems to be in short supply within the Democrat Party these days, (just look who is running for President), Kilpatrick would resign and give the City of Detroit it’s sense of dignity back.

However, I know that will not happen. Because in Kilpatrick’s mind, Jesus put him in that position and only Jesus will get him out.

That, my friends, is the disgrace of Detroit.
