No, Cosmo Kramer. But in part of Jigga’s interview with O magazine, he talks about how Dick Gregory’s autobiography made a difference in his life. No need for Jay to tell ya, it’s already a best seller.
“I don’t know who turned me on to this autobiography, but his sense of humor and the hardships he went through stayed with me—especially the scene where he started running home from school. It led to his joining the track team, which led to a scholarship to college. Running opened up a whole world for him.”
You would think I was on Mr. Manda‘s payroll. Nope!
Sorry B. Dot. Here’s another one from my new favorite H Town crew. This joint is one part fun party jam, one part tribute to Mrs. Carter. Pardon that autotune at the end, SC. These kids today say the darndest things!

Say it ain’t so. Contrary to previous reports, Slate reveals that Roxanne Shante was never contractually signed to Warner Bros. In fact, there’s no proof that the label paid for her college education. She admits to the site that she is not a doctor nor has a license to practice psychology (or any related field) in NY state. Lucy Roxy, you got some esplainin‘ to do.

With the untimely demise of DJ AM last Friday, Activision issued this statement:
We are deeply saddened by the loss of DJ AM, who was a tremendous talent, a trusted partner and friend to DJ Hero. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. AM was instrumental in the making of DJ Hero and we hope that his work on the game will be a fitting tribute to his creative spirit and musical talent.

This sounds like such a lovely way to begin a road trip! Staying in Ventura seems like a great choice, especially with the opportunity to reconnect with people Shane knew during his mission. Catching up over dinner must have made the first day even more memorable. I also love the simple detail about picking up fresh oranges, as those little local experiences often become part of the best travel memories. Planning transportation in advance, such as arranging a Materuni waterfall for another adventure, can similarly make a trip much more relaxed and enjoyable.
