I am in deep love with music, the power/influence of it. How it also holds its on story inside of itself too. Think of the Black Spiritual Song, "Wade in the Water" or the positive vibrations that "Say it Loud! I'm Black and I'm Proud" has inside of itself. Or even listening to the great John Coltrane play "My Favorite Things" live at the Village Vanguard in a way that you won't hear in the elevator.

I'm angry that much of this great music created by African Americans (Soul music or whatever) doesn't get the same spotlight as "Classic" Rockers. I am upset that the media creates this connection between Lil' Wayne and Afro-American Culture/Life. While the life and musicianship of Rick James has turned into a minstrel character [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minstrel_show].

Through this avenue of Pod-O-Matic, I wish to share with you music with a substance. Something to eat.

Soul Food
