Question of the Day (re: James Brown & Martin Luther King Jr) -- David Hinckley
In today's NY Daily News, David Hinckley offers a review of two documentaries airing this weekend. One being, "The Night James Brown Saved Boston" airing tonight on VH1 and the other documentary being, "King" airing Sunday night on The History channel.
The article points out something these two men--James Brown and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr had in common.
"If these documentaries did nothing else, they would confirm that both men, when they stepped to a microphone, got the attention of the room and knew what to do with it. " -- David Hinckley
For all those aspiring and reaching for the spotlight, I gotta ask, when that light shines on you, are you ready? Would you know what to do???

Rev Johnny Ray Youngblood -- Super Quote
“A Dialogue With Death” --Sermon delivered on Easter SUN 3/23/08.
In a service where he declared that Preacher Jeremiah Wright “is my friend”, Rev Johnny Ray Youngblood of The St. Paul Community Baptist Church delivered a dramatic Easter Sunday sermon entitled, “A Dialogue with Death”
When talking about Jesus’ resurrection, he explains
“when the S - U – N rose that morning, the S – O – N had already risen."
“Now, my brothers and sisters, I Johnny Youngblood, I am a spiritual snoop, and whenever I read the scriptures, I’m always looking for a spiritual scoop.”
“the spirit is gonna let us for a little while, dialogue with him who is known as the landlord of the household of the lifeless.”
Now those are some zingers! For those interested in the manuscript of "A Dialogue with Death" contact the church.

Walt Clyde Frazier = Deft Phrasing
Friday, April 4, 2008 -- by Wow Jones
Heard on the SUN 3/30/08 Knicks versus the Atlanta Hawks TV broadcast by
Color commentator Walt Clyde Frazier and Play-by-Play announcer Bob Wischusen (in for Mike Breen).
These are the phrases uttered by Clyde Frazier.
Coasting and toasting
Pizzazz, melancholy,
Propel him into stardom,
Matador D (defense) by David Lee
Swoop to the hoop,
rectify, thrive, pass was awry,
Jamal Crawford propelling the Knicks with his offensive prowess (3rd quarter),
A belated call,
Isiah always unflappable - - doesn’t raise an eyebrow (after a bad play or bad call)
Jamal and Lee becoming quite a tandem,
Knicks were a step short in coming back to Bibby, now the Hawks fans are becoming restless with their Hawks as the boos cascade down from the rafters.
Good aggression by Crawford. _______ is manhandling the Knicks now, seen some dubious calls, we’ve seen this from Crawford before--this type of offensive eruption,
Shakin and bakin,
Balkman with reckless abandon on offense or defense, splendid passes.
Picked apart, swarming about on defense without a purpose, uncanny ability to _______,
Resounding rebounding, the Hawks right there could not corral the ball,
you need an exquisite touch, you can’t unravel, too demonstrative,
one of Josh Smith’s forte’s – huffin and stuffin’,
you can see him exuding more and more confidence,
ball hangin and bangin in, they’re compelled to foul now.

Rev. Al Sharpton on Evil
Heard on The KISS-FM Radio “Open Line” show on Sunday Morning, March 30, 2008.
Al Sharpton said, “Evil comes in like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.”
Is that from the Bible?
“…the impact we’ve made on the world stage. Cause if you look at the political race in America, if you look at Liberation struggles throughout Africa including South Africa, ALL of that they say, very publicly and emphatically, they were studying the civil-rights movement and Dr. King. So a lot of times when we look at a parochial, narrow way, We underestimate our impact on world history and the world stage. And I think it is coming into being, those seeds that were planted, are now blossoming and blooming.”

Super Quote -- (re: Farrah Gray)
SUPER QUOTE – Farrah Gray
The article, “Making Bank: Self-made millionaire turned author Farrah Gray shares secrets to getting rich” by Georgette Roberts synopsizes Farrah’s tale of growing up poor on the south side of Chicago and his transition to becoming at 22, a famous and rich man.
When discussing how he opened an office on Wall Street at the age of 13, Mr. Gray remembers,
“It was a very interesting experience. I choose Wall Street because I knew that if Wall Street coughs, the rest of the world sneezes. I also wanted to be in the heart of the financial center that drives not just America but the whole world.” -- Farrah Gray

How To Boost Your Stage Show Performance (Rick James vs. Prince PART 2!!!)
Saturday, March 29, 2008 -- by Wow Jones
In an earlier post, I wrote about an interesting anecdote from the Rick James autobiography regarding Rick James' and Prince's rivalry.
In a post on a Prince website message board, a member wrote about his/her experiences watching Prince open up for Rick James. What he/she revealed is just as insightful as Rick James' account.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PDogz (wildgoldenhoney from Prince.org) account at a Rick James concert, check it out:
1979: Attended a Rick James concert in Charlotte, NC. Prince was the opening act - Blew EVERYONE away! Rick James could not compare when he followed Prince's act. In fact, about 20 minutes into Rick's set, people in the audience started walking out. It wasn't that Rick James performed poorly, it was just that after seeing Prince - there was no where else to go! Prince wore everybody out! I feel like I was a part of history that night. May Rick James be resting peacefully.
His entire set was about 45 minutes or so of complete mayhem and frenzy!
When you first entered the Coliseum, there was no curtain and everything was setup at the front edge of the stage: mic-stands, keyboards, and very few other props. The drum set was in the middle of the stage placed up on a little riser with an oval-shaped sign over it (which was first covered in canvas) that had "PRINCE" spelled out in lights, as in the logo on his 1979 "Prince" album. Everybody was just standing around, jamming to the pre-concert music that they play over the system, smoking joints, grooving, and basically waiting for Rick James.
No one really knew who Prince was yet. In fact, I thought we were about to see a band called "Prince For You" (the title of his first album). I didn't know yet that Prince was an individual and not just the name of a band. I thought certainly that no one would be actually named "Prince".
Then… BAMM! The lights went out, and you could make out 3 shadowy figures move onto the stage, and then stood with their backs to the audience. The rest of the band took their place, and all you could hear over the sound system was someone speaking in a low, sort of foreboding tone:
"Charlotte, are you ready for me?" -- Prince
The drum roll hit, the stage lights came up, and Andre, Prince, and Dez turned and all charged about 4 or 5 steps toward the audience – and everybody freaked the Hell out! These guys looked scary as shit! The one in the middle (who I soon learned was Prince) had this spiky hairdo, full make-up, a pink leather motorcycle jacket, panties, black stockings, and pumps! The audience reaction was pure fright! Then Prince reached around to his back, pulled his guitar around to the front, then the whole band started jamming “Sexy Dancer”, and the crowd quickly got over their fright and started rocking to the music and jamming along - all hands were in the air. By the end of that first song, everybody was like: “Oh shit! This guy AIN’T playing!” The party was ON full blast!
Their play list consisted of songs from his first two albums, but the song they did that most sticks out in my mind is when they played “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?”, because Prince was ad-libbing a lot. Like:
Why you wanna treat me so bad? Is it the clothes I wear?
Why you wanna treat me so mean? Is it the style of my hair?
But what completely blew people away was when they played their encore: “I Wanna Be Your Lover”.
Prince went mad, threw off that cool ass pink leather jacket, peeled off his stockings, threw them at the audience, and was running around the stage jamming to the beat with nothing but his guitar, bikini underwear, and high-heeled boots (with little stars on the side). And then once he was done jacking-off the microphone (as if he were giving it head - Prince was a real whore on stage back then), tossed his guitar to the side, reached his hand down into his panties to cover his dick, and pulled his panties all the way down to his knees, gyrating toward the audience with only his hand covering his dick! WTF!!! The audience was going crazy! At the end of his set, Prince said “Damn Charlotte, we’re gonna have to come back here again soon!”
And that was it! I was a stoned-cold Prince fan! I started telling people about Prince the next day!
At that point, everybody was standing around like they had completely forgot about Rick James. But the roadies came out and moved all of Prince’s stuff off stage, the sign over the drums came apart into two pieces and they removed that. But what really tripped me out was once all of Prince’s equipment was off stage, they removed the backdrop that was behind Prince’s set, and you could see that the stage was actually HUGE and that Prince had only been setup right up at the front. There was a giant curtain hanging behind all of that. After several more moments of getting everything set up, the lights dimmed again, the music started, the curtain opened up, and there you could see that this stage was about a mile wide and a mile deep! This was Rick James’s stage!
Rick came out, and The King of Punk Funk reminded you of what you came here for! His show was awesome, but I’ll save it for another thread. But it was interesting to note that many people in the audience started moving out, because at least initially, Rick was no comparison to what we had all just seen out there! Don’t get me wrong, Rick tore the roof off that sucker, but it was hard to stop thinking about what we had just seen Prince do out there.
Rick’s show was about 2 hours long, and the Stoned City Band succeeded in funking us to death! The show was actually exhausting! I remember thinking “How in the Hell can they do this every night, and from town to town?” Ahh, the memories!

Director Stephen Chow delivers a WOW of a movie and rockets audiences to movie heaven with CJ7!
Monday, March 10, 2008 -- By Wow Jones
Director Stephen Chow delivers a WOW of a movie and rockets audiences to movie heaven with CJ7!
A close-up of hands are the first thing we see in Stephen Chow’s new movie CJ7. Calloused, dingy, leathery and weather-beaten - - some would say that those hands are evidence of someone who “works hard for a living.” These hands are involved in the tender act of sewing-up the toe point of a tattered pair of cast-aside shoes. It’s this act, along with the subsequent shot of Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce hood ornaments atop cars that are shown dropping off rich-kids at an elite private school that poetically announces Stephen Chow’s awareness of the worlds he’s chronicling. For those folks unfamiliar with Stephen Chow’s movies, these shots merely hint at the continued astonishment this masterpiece affords. How could they know that Stephen Chow (whose hands are the hands which open the movie) would craft and present such a gift to audiences worldwide? 
As in movies filled with feeling like Robert DeNiro’s A Bronx Tale and Chen Kaige’s Together, Stephen Chow dramatizes, through the role of a poor construction worker, the task of imparting values like character and integrity to his son Dicky (Xu Jiao). As the shot at a construction-worksite that introduces Stephen Chow illustrates, it’s a task that’s both daunting and dizzying. While it may initially appear that CJ7 will be a dour treatment of a serious drama, Stephen Chow quickly introduces the verve that distinguishes CJ7 from the DeNiro and Kaige movie comparisons.
In response to Dicky being taunted by rich classmates at school for not having the latest toy (a CJ1 robot),
Stephen Chow (with his salt-and-pepper colored hair) brings home a discarded toy that he finds at the garbage dump he frequents and gives it to his son. Turns out that this toy is an alien from another planet, and this toy becomes the perfect pet-toy-gift -- one that’s capable of limitless love and companionship. As in movies like Brad Bird’s The Iron Giant and Steven Spielberg’s E.T., CJ7 also examines the special relationship between a child and his toy/pet—humorously evoking the electric thrill of having a new friend. When this pet-toy (whom Dicky names CJ7) is brought to school, it also presents an opportunity for Dicky to get schoolyard-style redemption. Rapturous mayhem ensues and surprises abound. 
In CJ7 Stephen Chow generously surrenders the spotlight to the child performers in the cast – particularly when he plays straight-man to son Dicky, played by actress Xu Jiao in a gut-bustingly funny, unrestrained and nimble debut (!!!) performance. I also suspect that Xu Jiao isn’t the only performer in CJ7 engaging in a bit gender-bending casting. In any event, upon the hint that this toy is not what it appears to be, Dicky’s scream (and his raised elbows bent, hands-up, semi-Alfred E Neuman ‘What Me Worry?’ gesture) to his dad is at once filled with fear, anxiety and yes, excitement. 
In another scene, Dicky stomps away from his discarded pet-toy and is at first disappointed and angry. Then, as the extent of his lapse in judgement registers, he’s ashamed, regretful and contrite. Folks, you don’t often see this level of accomplished acting. 
But it’s in Stephen Chow’s staging of detailed slapstick where his verve is unmistakably evident. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice (and chortle at) the subtle touch of a Physical Education teacher whose bit of business consists of constantly pulling up the waistband of his shorts to his sternum. Nor will sensitive viewers miss a child being tossed the length of a football field leaving skid marks in his wake. Whether it’s a back-alley brawl between CJ7 and a scruffy dog, a mishap at the construction site where Stephen Chow works, or a miracle at a soccer field, the action here is kinetic, inventive, funny and, most importantly, tied to emotion and a compelling narrative.
With the movie’s twists and turns, my seat got quite a workout when I alternately doubled over in laughter and leaned back as I gasped in astonishment. Chuck Jones is smiling down from heaven knowing this movie is in the world. I’d also guess that fellow comic hyphenate Tyler Perry is psychically sending a high-five in approval and appreciation. Gag-by-gag, stunt-by-stunt, and miracle-by-miracle, Director Stephen Chow delivers a WOW of a movie-gift to the world and rockets worldwide audiences to movie heaven with CJ7!

How To Have Your Audience Begging For More (Re: Garth Brooks)
Wednesday, March 12, 2008. -- by Wow Jones
Country Star Garth Brooks' quote made at the end of his Kansas City concert special broadcast on GAC TV, “Garth Brooks: One Man, One City, One Night” was one whopper of a quote.
I saw the concert in early February after getting a pal to Tivo the concert during the Christmas holidays. After performing his heart out (despite showing some rust after not performing regularly in 7-8 years), he did something unique. At the end of his show, he acknowledged his situation and said something profound--with emotion.
“You guys came back to me for this music.” His voice cracked as he declared, “I promise you, if you wait for me, I’ll be back!” -- Garth Brooks to fans
Tantalizing and beguiling. Heartfelt promises tend to do that.
P.S. By the way, It sure was nice to see Garth Brook Band mainstays like Dave Gant, Mike Palmer, Jimmy Mattingly, Mark Greenwood, Stephanie Davis again.

How To Boost Your Stage Show Presentation (re: Bruce Springsteen)
Clive Davis“I took over a theater in L.A. called the Ahmanson. It had a huge stage - - bigger than Radio City. I put Anthony Newman with the chamber ensemble. I put Miles Davis on with Johnny Mathis and Springsteen. “
“Bruce gets on, I’m sitting in the audience. He’s singing ‘Spirit In the Night,’ standing on this big fucking stage, and not moving. I go up and say, ‘Listen, it’s one thing when you’re in Max’s Kansas City or in a small club where there’s no room. But Bruce - - when you got on a stage like this, you’ve got to move!’ " -- Clive Davis on early Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen in the 70s
“I said, ‘Go to this side of the stage, go to the other side. Make use of the stage!’ “
"Segue to 1975. Bruce calls me and says, ‘I’m playing at The Bottom Line. You’ve gotta come.’ I go with Lou Reed, who’s never even heard of Bruce at this time. The show begins. I can’t even recognize Bruce. He’s a dervish, jumping over tables, going all over the room."

"I go backstage, and before I say anything, Bruce says, ‘Did I move enough for you?’ ” -- Clive Davis

Abraham Lincoln
Here's a super quote by Abraham Lincoln regarding his Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. In it, he explains how much Stanton meant to him during the Civil War.
Edwin M. Stanton
“He is the rock on the beach of our national ocean against which the breakers dash and roar, dash and roar without ceasing. He fights back the angry waters and prevents them from undermining and overwhelming the land. Gentlemen, I do not see how he survives, why he is not crushed and torn to
pieces. Without him I should be destroyed.” -- President Abraham Lincoln On Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton
