As a POC, our skin color is not GOD, ok? This:

I also make a statement with my hair. That statement is “I am 80% bald.” It doesn’t say much, but you gotta work with what you got.

Almost every one of her songs is the same tempo and the same boring moody backing sounds and the same slow delivery before either shouting or belting. She stumbles into a few good songs here and there (Brain is awesome), but she’s so transparently trying to be an artist that fits into a Weeknd themed playlist that she…

She was in Tampa, blond, white, and has appeared in movies that appeal to middle America. The audience probably didn’t even know she was a democrat.

Really? She makes racist jokes all the time and she looks like a cornfed white chick from the Midwest (even though she’s not). Seems right up their alley.

I feel like Mary’s the big loss there. I like Mel and Sue but I feel like they could be replaced by any number of relatively charming comedians.

Nowadays, Nick Cave

Kevin Shields, Kevin Parker. The Kevins.

She did a bad ass version(bad as in good) with My Morning Jacket. I knew Jim James had a bit of soul in him. But I didn’t know he had funk too. The entire band in fact.

I met Liz Frasier of the Cocteau Twins in New Orleans and I totally fanboyed out. She was very gracious and didn’t give me the brush off. We talked a couple of minutes and then I got out of her way. I’m sure after the show she wanted to do nothing more than go back to her hotel room and get some sleep.

I’ve met a good number of musicians over the year, but the one who made me lose my shit was Peter Gabriel.

I’ll never forget this charming ditty of his.

Erica Badu. When I see her I see a badass feminist. I posted the video that made me fall in live with her in the greys...”Call Tyrone”.

Met Bryan Ferry. Lovely guy. Got a pic. Brett was on another label, but I hear he was charming from my friends at Sony.

They’re both very flawed. Team Darryl & White Josh 4 Lyfe!

Stevie Nicks. I’ve seen her in concert several times (solo and with Fleetwood Mac), have all her albums, and cosplayed her at Dragon*Con. If I met her I would never stop crying and then I would die.

Not true. “Wow, I can’t believe you didn’t flake on the performance” will always be appropriate at a Lauryn Hill show.

This is the only appropriate reaction when meeting the Ms. Lauryn Hill of East Orange, New Jersey, of course. And Ms. Hills “Bitch, yas./I know.” reaction makes this all the better.
