“Window Seat Thoughts..
…Okay it seems that people are totally missing the message of the song and video, listen to the message at the end of the video and make your own decision ……what I took away from it was that she is evolving and had to leave her old self behind to find herself, she evolved and I find it funny that people are missing the message and are focusing on her nudity and it being the area where JFK was assasinated….you know what…. sometimes you have to speak loudly so people can hear you, you have to touch people so people can feel you….and sometimes you have to communicate in a visual manner so people can understand you
Toast 2 Window Seat!!
true art is always enjoyed best by having a free mind

U.L.O Quote……
……sometimes you have to drop in to see….. “what condition your condition is in”……think about it…
—–from Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
so what are they going to say next…..
…..alright damn enough come on leave Mike alone….you heard him the first time when he made the song…..I have heard so many stories that it really proves that the media is way out of control…..why release stories that aren’t even true…they like to use the word speculate….so in way that creates doubt in ones head ….just because you speculatesomething doesn’t even mean it’s true….ahh but I heard it on the news….I thought for sure the internet would be worse but so far there has been plenty of fan support….and even people who aren’t fans they all feel the same way….leave the guy alone…….and if one more person comes up to me at work and says …did ya hear about Micheal Jackson??!..?… I have actually had to tell people I am not interested in hearing anything negative or any other wild rumors you may have overheard…..granted the biggest star in the world is going to be the most talked about person the world but damn….and to all the magazines & 30 minute tabloid shows they aren’t helping either, now I know they are getting huge ratings because people are curious and want to her the latest….these are usually the people who are coming up to you at work…..now the world is waiting to hear the final toxicology reports….the media will get another several weeks just off of that….so I’m just wondering….. what are they going to say about Mike now…….

U.L.O…… 4 Cool People
Hello everybody these are 4 people who are cool…..really cool check em out!!
Marsha-Marsha-Marsha
…….she is so cool you have to say her name 3 times Marsha “The Songstress”Ambrosius, she was one half of the funky duo Floetry……notice I said was…..the group reportedly broke up sometime ago, but Marsha continues to move forward….she is one of the best kept secrets in the music industry……..her credits include singing and writing songs with artist such as Macy Gray,Alicia Keys,Jazmine Sullivan,Outkast, Jamie Foxx,Justin Timberlake…..and even the great one Micheal Jackson…..that was her voice on Butterflies…..actually it was her song Mike liked it and wanted to use it and the rest is history, be on the look-out for her new album coming out hopefully really soon……
The Magnificent
…….he is the hottest rapper in the game right now his name Rick Ross…..it kind of just rolls of the tongue….Rick Ross…Mr. Ross has no doubt the best rap album of the summer, and if you talk to some hip-hop fans they will say his latest album “Deeper than Rap” is a classic……I have to agree….it’s the only rap album I have really enjoyed this summer, actually it’s probably going to end up as best rap-album of the year….Ross is very gifted when it comes to lyrics and clever metaphors….and some good beats don’t hurt either….if you are a fan of rap then this is definitely an album you need in your collection…..
A splash of Color
……David Bromstad is his name and color is his game…….he is the host of HGTV’s “Color Splash”…….this guy is very talented and in my opinion has the best show on HGTV, he has a knack for putting together some really incredible vibrant designs…..Mr. Bromstad is an artist, and he displays his talents by creating original art-work for each episode, whether it’s a table with 5 legs or a huge mural of a goose, he knows how to make it blend in and stand out!!…I wish he would re-do my place….
Hello Family
………some would say he is single handily keeping radio alive…..grown folk topics and grown folk conversations that is what you will find on “The Micheal Baisden Radio Show”…..he keeps his audience on their toes with his quick witt and his brash style of comedy……his sidekick Mike Willboughn will leave you in stitches, they are a match made in radio heaven….Mr. Baisden is also a very talented and successful writer, he has several popular books, and two of them have been turned into stage plays….eventually they will no doubt hit the big-screen one day….wait there’s more he is also a host of a late night talk show on the TV-One Network……it’s self-titled…. and I have to say I have even enjoyed watching the re-runs because the topic of conversation is always provocative, and the musical guest are always very special!
Toast 2 the Cool

Micheal Jackson takes his place with the Greats……
……..those are the thoughts that are going through my mind right now,I know everyone is in shock,some in dis-belief, maybe even some in denial, we all have our personal memories of Micheal Jackson, I will share mine with you……..I am fortunate to have worked as a radio disc-jockey,I got to host my own tribute show to Micheal Jackson last year,and I re-call that it was my most popular and favorite show to date (the post is still up on this site)……spending 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon just playing and talking about Micheal and his music, his accomplishments, his awards,etc….and sharing memories and hearing stories from the listeners…..it was a magical day, it really was……there is something special about his music that has touched so many and if you happen to be around my age then you realize most of his music shaped our child-hoods, so in a way you kind of feel that you have lost a friend even though I never meet him, I sure spent alot of time listening to what he had to say and watching him move across my t.v screen…..I am so glad I took the time to expose his music and videos to my 9 year old daughter,she actually said to me (after watching his videos) “I get it, I get why you guys like him, he is really cool” …. I was shocked and happy at the same time when she said that, her favorite song was”The Girl is Mine”….I thought to myself wow I wasn’t expecting that to be her favorite, don’t get me wrong I love the song also, but I was expecting her to say Billie Jean or Thriller or even P.Y.T, but she also turned out to like ABC and Rockin Robin….(kids will always surprise you)…..my favorite song is “Off the Wall”……..When the world is on your shoulders Gotta straighten up your act and Boogie down, I f you can’t hang with the feelin’ then there ain’t no room for you this part of town “Cause we’re the party people night and day Livin crazy that’s the only way………So tonight gotta leave that 9-5 up on the shelf and just enjoy yourself, Groove, let the madness and the music get to you Life ain’t so bad at all……..If you live it off the wall………Words to live by that is my Friday song, I play that when I need that little extra boost, or I wanna feel good…….
Toast 2 Micheal

10 Things I learned about Shalamar!!
Finally the TV One special about the group Shalamar aired, and I have to say I learned some interesting things about the group……..
10. Shalamar started off with just having session singers from LA
9.They went through a phase where they were known as just a Disco group
8.Howard Hewitt was the 3rd lead singer, eventually there would be a 4th
7.Jeffery Daniels created the Backslide (AKA the Moonwalk)
6.Howard Hewitt & Jody Watley just never really hit it off, Jody felt disrespected most of the time
5.Shalamar was huge overseas, actually sold out Wembely Stadium in the U.K.
4.Howard Hewett had a huge ego
3.Jeffery Daniels and Jody Watley actually dated
2.Jody Watley felt pressure from the group to not have her first child
1.There will probably never be a Shalamar re-union
Toast 2 Shalamar!!
