Black History Month: Dave Chappelle

   Earlier this week I did a post about Jimi Hendrix, and I figured I would talk about another one of my favorite people. Everyone has watched Chappelle's Show, or at least heard of it. The show sold more DVDs than the Simpsons.  Below is a video of a bit called Kid's Cartoons. This video is NSFW!

  But what I want to talk about is his stand up. Many comedians talk about real issues that plague society, George Carlin probably being the most well known to do so. It's easy for me to just get depressed while listening to Carlin spit the unadulterated truth at me. But Chappelle is very subtle about it. He may slip it in, and if you're not paying attention you might miss it. Not only that but he keeps you laughing the entire time. He has the perfect mixture of thought provoking material, originality, and of course some doo-doo humor.

Black History Month: Jimi Hendrix

   In honor of Black History Month I'm going to talk about my favorite person ever. Many people would agree that Jimi is the greatest guitarist of all time. Whether you share the same sentiment, or not. It's hard to deny that his influence was greater than any single guitarist. Nearly any rock song you hear from 1970+ was influenced directly, or indirectly by Hendrix. And the fact that he did all this as a black man in the 60's, is an accomplishment in itself.




   Machine Gun is my favorite song. Every time I hear it, my mind is still blown away by the sheer badassery.If you are a fan of music, and you haven't listened to Jimi Hendrix, then what are you waiting for? Kick back and listen to some of the greatest sounds ever recorded.
