On this project I got to work with some of the most amazing artists and musicians. I thought I would tell you just a little about some of the guests whom were gracious enough to record with me. Two of the songs are already out…so you might know about them! LOL. I was joined by my friend Musiq Soulchild on the single “Chocolate High.”

Give Obama a break…

1

bagley_1-27_09-5The conservatives are looking out for Obama to fail at his stimulus plan and watching his every step for him to fail. Of course George W Bush is not under scrutiny on their part for initiating this crisis, the instead blame it on the Clinton years. What a burden Obama has as in incoming presidents only to have the conservatives forming a senate block against him and criticizing every move before he makes it. They must be bitter that they are responsible for the worst president to ever enter the oval office. Let’s see what a trillion does…

The divas of Barack Obama…

divasMary J. Blige, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Alicia Keys are all set to be part of the Obama inauguration. He is more of Sheryl Crow fan, who might be there. I don’t know what happened to Aretha Franklin. But, the line up is looking tight and I can’t wait to watch it, probably on Youtube. I’ll keep you posted.

Madame Tussauds kicks George Bush out…

Obama supports another homophobe…

I don’t know what to make of this. I am excited about an Obama presidency, but this is the second time he does that. I mean, I could use the freedom of opinion card and say it is not representative of Obama, but I know that had it been a racist pastor his name wouldn’t have even been mentioned.

Must Watch: The Corporation (2003)

1

I heard about it when it came out and I thought I should miss it since I already what corporations are up to and how “evil” they are. I was wrong. This documentary shines a light on many other aspects, with many luminaries of our time commenting and pitching in. I recommend this to everyone with a conscience.
