Okay, I am researching some of the schools I talked to at the New Visions School Job Fair and I am in front of the tv watching HBO. To my delight, the Chris Rock show comes on right after the Zone plays Ciara and Missy Elliot's new video -- very very hot, btw. Anyhoo, who should come as Chris' musical guest, but LL Cool J!
Me and Ll Cool J and Salt N Pepa and Run DMC and Russell Simmons n dem, we all from the same hood, same generation. The Fat Boys, too, but they died choking on a chicken bone in jail -- at least that's what everybody said. So everytime I see one of them, I heave a contented sigh of nostalgia for what the 80's produced in Hip Hop's most diverse heyday. Anybody remember PM Dawn? Hip Hop to meditate by? Remember when they played Tracey Chapman and Madonna on the black radio stations?
Well, tonight LL Cool J was splendid in white short overalls with a (I kid you not) silver lame t shirt underneath, and, I think, sort of silvery shoes. He looked real crazy. I loved it! He also had some sun glasses on top of his head and was wearing what looked like a silver shower cap. Gorgeous!
Sigh.

I really miss the hiphop artists and the diversity of the 1980s and early 1990s. I'm glad LL is still around, though. He just gets thicker and phiner every year.
Don't he though? I find his arms abnormally long, too. Kinda freaky.
