I swear this song has been stuck in my head for two complete days. It is a live cover of Curtis Mayfield's song, "We People Who Are Darker Than Blue." It is very political and soulful at the same time. Makes you wonder what ever happened to music like this.....

Here is some music that I would like you to listen to. Enjoy
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim/In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 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. At this current junction of life, I am terribly upset at the fact that Rock & Roll is considered "white people's" music along with Jazz (Black Classical Music) and Blues. Or how it seems out of the ordinary in this day and age that a person of African heritage plays European style Classical Music. To put it plain, I am upset that Lil' Wayne is related to the essence of current "Black Culture" while the life and musicianship of Rick James has turned into a catch phrase and a minstrel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minstrel_show]. Through this avenue of Pod-O-Matic, I wish to share with you music that touches and inspires me. Enjoy All Praises are due to Allah
