Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - "17th Street" (1976)

Here is a happy one from the master (and his long-time collaborator Brian Jackson) for the weekend. We should merit to get down.

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - "Here I Go Again" (live)

Here is a sweet song from the previous generation. Smokey (b. 1940) is the man! The Miracles did rock with him, after Smoke left they kinda feel off. I ain't upset though.

The Cop was Arrested and it was for Murder!

I'm still a little stunned. I just didn't expect this to happen. I figured that he'd (Johannes Mehserle) be charged and then immediately let out on bail (if the authorities ever got around to dealing with the issue). No handcuffs, no prison clothes, etc. But alas, our thoughts are not His thoughts, and our ways are not His ways.

Here is the media side.
