I want a biopic on Big Mama Thornton. Four years before Elvis Presley released Hound Dog, she sang it. It was her hit! Then he imitated her and made millions. She never saw a dime. Later she would introduce Hound Dog to crowds as “this is the record I made Elvis rich on.”

I’m heartbroken to learn of the passing of a NYC legend. Alice Tan Ridley sang in the NYC subways for many years and competed on America’s Got Talent. She is also the mother of actress Gabourey Sidibe. To hear her sing was to know you were in the presence of greatness.

Ho boy. I’m seeing a trend of “pet raccoons”—yes, people taking in raccoons in their homes. An attorney cannot save you from that! You’ll lose that coop or apt in a heartbeat. You can be CRIMINALLY punished. Raccoons carry rabies a DEADLY disease. Y’all know that right?
