Politics: Matt Damon Says We Need To Stop Being So ‘Obedient’ (Video)
November 23, 2013
That’s it! Blockbuster movie star and humanitarian Jason Borne Matt Damon is sick and tired of putting up with this political bullsh!t… and he wants you to revolt, too. Actually, Matt has been walking his talk for a long while – tasking satellites to get eyes on tragedies in Darfur when nations (including the U.S.) would not… taking President Obama to task when he was dragging his feet… Of course, Matt isn’t the only one who has called for revolution…
“Our problem is not Civil Disobedience, it is Civil Obedience!â€
– Matt Damon, quoting Howard Zinn (November 1970)
Politics/Economics: The ‘Haves’ Have A Lot More Than The ‘Have Nots’… Way More Than You Think (Video)
November 23, 2013
This is INSANE! A short video with so much to say about how wealth is distributed in the U.S. – you know, the country that tells the world “give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses” … so we can ‘huddle’ them some more… and not give them sh!t but plenty of company. What we have a lot of in the U.S. – POOR PEOPLE. Surprisingly, we also have optimism (still) and a belief in fairness. What we don’t have is f**king ECONOMIC FAIRNESS man! Watch this clip; and try not to get mad. Instead get informed, get motivated, and get involved (to help yourself and your people)!
“The poorest Americans don’t even register. They’re down to pocket change. And the middle class is barely distinguishable from the poor.”
Keep checking here on the site. We keep the conversation going and the information flowing…

Sports/Opinion: Charles Barkley Speaks On The Use Of The N-Word (Video)
November 18, 2013
Interesting. I agree with Charles Barkley (above) & I agree with Michael Wilbon (after the jump). What came up around recent discussion/debate regarding the NFL’s Richie Incognito’s alleged bullying of Miami Dolphin Jonathan Martin has jumped the fence… from the National Football League to commentary from one of the greats of the National Basketball Association… to [once again] a national conversation. Ernie had Shaq chiming in near the end of the clip, too. Watch.

You know it’s “Hard Out Here” for a … b!tch. That’s how the song goes, right? Lily Allen taking some tongue-in-cheek shots at the entertainment industry’s treatment of women using cute pop music (and a video with sprinkled with some eye candy) as a delivery vehicle.

R&B: Ab x 14KT – “Saturn Return” (LP)
November 16, 2013
It’s out. Following the link below takes you to “Saturn Return” – a collaborative effort by singer Ab and producer 14KT… but it’s much more than that.
“Saturn Return” is more than an album… It’s a story that was developed by two friends, while they were individually working their way through one of the most grueling transition periods of their lives. This period left them both questioning their purpose in life, what they wanted for themselves, what made them happy, as well as who they were.
Their conversations and the continual support of each other led soul singer Aaron “Ab†Abernathy and beat-smith 14KT to co-produce a progressive soul album focused on a love story between characters Ab and Lalah. However, it is an experience that anyone can relate to.
– Ab & KT
