Sasheer! They've got to put her in. She's free of SNL commitments now, at any rate.

I only watch a few clips of these sketches online most Sundays. I prefer the curated versions post-broadcast to get the killer and no filler, so thanks, AV Club! Anyway.

I haven't seen any images of him in a while, and uh… wow.

Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" and Jeff Baxter's ending solo on Steely Dan's "Bodhisattva" are taken already, so:

There has to have been a part of him that didn't want to do this to his family, but there must have been a hell of a lot of pain he was carrying inside.

Jaw has literally dropped upon getting this news. Man! His voice was absolutely gorgeous.

Aw, I'll have to see this. Letting my family know I was no longer Pentecostal was fraught, indeed. I didn't switch denominations, but told them I was an atheist. Yeah, that was a record skip. Black people in the US are supposed to believe in Jesus, and I didn't. It hurt my family a lot when I left the church, and to…

That's good Photoshop, to get you focused on Paul's eyes. They're pretty here. I'm not going to see this movie, though. I've not seen any of the others, so why bother now?

His new song bored me. I get that he's not doing the June-moon-spoon thing, noted. But there was no there there. It didn't seem introspective or honest like the works of actual adult performers like Joni Mitchell or Bob Dylan, hell, or even Prince. This was fluff, platitudes strung together.

He was a last-minute guest on a talk show I interned for, but no one except the lowest level building staff wanted to interact with him, which upset him a lot. He had no desire to talk to "the little people". When he did speak to anyone, it was to 1st AD-type staffers about where he was to wait, or that he had to go…

Whoops, I meant "stage", and not "form" or "onset".

When I was working on an internship during college 25 years ago, I happened to be in the same room as this person. We didn't interact at all (I was much too black, short, and non-model-looking to catch his notice, thank Bowie), but I was able to observe him and hear him talk for about an hour. While he was as…

She's also super-evangelical, so someone in her position wants the platform to proselytize to the nation. People in her flavor of Christianity are "compelled" to convert as many as they can. That's why she's so dangerous, she's going after the children, more or less. And she's also looking to line her pockets by…

Ha! Of course they are. I'm so old, I can't tell the age of any of these boys anymore.

Oh my gosh, though, there's all these browny/blondy-haired 20-something white dudes with high cheekbones, square jaws, and blue eyes in superhero movies that, no, I can't tell them apart. Sorry, Chris. Whichever Chris you are.

Modern Love. Ever since I was a teenager, when it came out, something about that song has stuck in my noggin. It's nowhere near my fave (and don't ask, that changes every week. This week, it's Beauty and The Beast).

If I end up having to go to McDonald's, which is rare, I'll get a shake. I used to work there as a kid, so, eh. But once I was in Florida and all that was nearby was a Checkers/Rally's and I had one of the worst simulated food experiences of my life with a supposed "chicken sandwich". How is that place in business?

I've actually read this article before, and a major part of this tragedy is that Mrs. Nesbit was none too skilled at making a life, so when her husband died, she could barely keep her children housed and fed, she had no real work skills, and she apparently wasn't worldly enough to protect her young daughter from these…

I CANNOT STAND Eric Clapton. He and I would definitely not see eye to eye on politics, let's put it that way. And while I'm sure in the 60s, he was a dynamic live performer with Cream, well, there was also Hendrix.

Ja Rule! Ja Rule! And Billy's on fyre!
They don't need no models, let the MF'ers burn!
