Majestic Cancels Buju
I don’t usually repost PR type emails, but I thought I would in this case as somebody is trying to do what they believe is the right thing.
from: Dave Zainea
The Buju Banton concert that was to be held at the Majestic Theatre on Wednesday, September 30th has been cancelled. This was an incredibly tough decision for us both philosophically and economically. If we had known that there...

EAST SIDE!!!!!
Why you getting down on Urban Agriculture? Weed and gator meat/leather are growth industries fools.
Roll me a joint, grab me a gator kabob and slip those sweet boots on my feet! Economic diversification is upon us yo!
Also, I’m kind of serious. Are we really above legalizing pot bars at this point?
I think not.

How to write a story about Detroit
When writing about Detroit it’s important to start at the beginning.
No, not the beginning beginning with Native Americans and French people. Or the beginning after that with lumber barons and streetcars.
The beginning with the stuff everybody already knows about.
-Did you know Detroit has a long standing relationship with American Automotive Manufacturers?
-Did you know those Auto...

Things Money Can Buy
Another entry in a continuing series of things available for sale on the internet. Correction have been made, because obviously I can’t read.
Gordy Lupo of Gordy’s Guitars in Ferndale (Hilton and the I-696 service drive) has put this guitar up for sale on eBay.
At least online, it looks like a late model Les Paul jr. — a cool little guitar, but nothing that unusual.
But...
Set the Artist Free
Detroit jazz musician Scott Gwinnell has started a facebook group for musicians to discuss healthcare reform and current options.
If you are a musician, I encourage you to join.
I know that many times, particularly for indie rock folks who are even more unlikely to have a steady paying gig than some of the jazz folks, the notion of health care is either completely non-existent or tied to a...

Save Gorilla →
In honor of my birthday the Uganda Wildlife Authority is taking $1 donations to allow you to friend a Gorilla and help make up their funding deficit.
Gotta protect those Gorilla’s y’all.
Were Peaches and Herb Right?
Does it in fact, “feel so good?”
Considering Herb has performed with 6 different Peaches over the years and the original one is dead, he may not be the leading expert on the emotional impact of reuniting.
But with Pavement fans hoping their one off turns them at least into a touring act a la the Pixies and or even a real band again a la Dinosaur jr. — it seems fitting to ask...

Brown and Leckie on the Stone Roses Reissue →
Forkers love it.
By the way, nice resume.
Bump goes "Hollywood," on set of "Little Murder"
If Detroit can be New Orleans then Bump can definitely be creole.
I can’t wait until they get renamed the Terrance Howard Experience and then get in a rumble outside the House of Blues with the Billy Bob Thornton Surprise.
Actually, that’s scene two in my unfilmed script, Billy Bob Thornton Hears the Who… but a boy can dream.

Changes?!
I know that guy, I interviewed him for my book, “How I Became a Hobo: Life and the Pursuit of Homelessness.”
growingpangs:
My father once told me a story about a creative director that once responded to a client’s request for more changes by kicking the artboards down a flight of stairs and yelling, “Changes?! There are your fucking changes!”
That man is now my hero.
