This is about moxie, music, and a little inspiration from Jem and the Holograms.
Thank you for letting us know, chasingcharlie. Folks need to give credit where credit is due, especially for excellent work like this!
I totally took this photo. : )
I love seeing brides with natural hair, they always look so regal like queens.

I’m an old, so I hadn’t heard of last’s year’s Cooking Dance craze until about an hour ago. I posted a video of it with incredulous commentary for my old stuffy friends to laugh at on Facebook, but then I realized that this Lil B dude is obviously doing something right. Whether I’m wanting to be a Master Chef (???) or not, I still need dude to put me up on game:
Recently he’s been pushing the slang term “cooking” … and an accompanying dance, and the people in the audience came prepared. One fan wore a T-shirt that read, “Master Chef.” Another wore a droopy chef’s hat. Another waved a spatula in the air. Most of the rest did the cooking dance. Toward the end of the night Lil B invited the crowd to crash the stage, shouting, “We having, like, a 10-man cookout!”
And this cacophonous tragedy got two million views on YouTube??
I can’t even hate on the lil bro because I need to build a fan base like his. Will I find out how if I buy Lil B’s book, which apparently consists of a bunch of text messages?
I want the ginger kid from Disney to rap in one of my singles
I’ve gotten close enough to fame to know that I’d go totally bald-headed-Britney-insane once the attention got to be too much to handle. I definitely want my music to be known, but I don’t want to be a paparazzi target. I also wouldn’t want people digging through my past and putting up old pictures of me on Behind the Music while speculating about if I’ve had a nose job.
But I also want to be well-known enough that it would be embarrassing if I had to go back to Regular Work World. I’m pointing at you, whichever Jackson 5 brother that was who ended up working at Home Depot. Even if I end up with only one hit, a la Gregory Abbott or Kim Zolciak, I hope I can end up with enough to show for it so that I can support myself and not have to get a nine-to-five. Besides, I want to entertain because I think that’s what I’m cut out for, as opposed to cubicle dwelling.
I always figured that I wanted to achieve a Lisa Kudrow level of fame. She’s obviously well-known, she’s been in some high-profile projects, and she’s still working. Yet you never see a bunch of paparazzi photos of her in the checkout aisle. When was the last time you saw Lisa Kudrow with her vag hanging out in front of a camera?
So I’d gladly accept a main fan base that comprises those hipsters who hoard their indie music and want to keep the cool shit underground so that lame people don’t ruin it. If there are enough of them to get me nominated for a Grammy even while my name stays off of the Wikipedia, then rock on, you esoteric audio connoisseurs.
Speaking of esoteric, I finally heard the sample song for A Tribe Called Quest’s “Get A Hold.” The original song is quite awesome, and I’d have to say that this is one of the most innovative samples I’ve ever seen.
This post came out way sloppier than I had hoped, but I have to blame the wine for that. I’ll give my thoughts on creativity under the influence next time.
