Lindsay Lohan - You're No Marilyn Monroe

then again, Marilyn was kinda wacked too. Lindsay Lohan, in her endless pursuit of the paparazzi and headlines, is edging her way into the pseudo-void created by Paris Hilton's jail controversy and Britney Spears' psycho meltdown. Lohan just did a photo spread for New York Magazine in a rendition of the famous Monroe "Last Sitting", so called because a week after doing this famous 1962 nude pose, Marilyn was found dead in her apartment in L.A. Lindsay is a tart of sorts, not as hot as she likes one to believe, and certainly no Marilyn Monroe (blond hair dye notwithstanding). But this pic of her is fashionaby nice. What the hell - go with it!

2050

I'm listening to this Professor Swain on Lou Dobbs tonight, talking about the (i think) now-worn logo about "by 2050, the United States will be a predominantly minority population", as if when that happens, blacks and whites will live together in harmony like ebony and ivory. Not tryin' to diss the sista (she is more knowledgable than me) but I ask: So What?? What does that mean for the sons and daughters of Africa in America? Nothing good, I say. Why??

Because the way we will get to such a population status (and more on why it may not mean much) is through the Hispanic American population. They are currently having children at 110% times the rate of white and black American families. More than 125% the rate of Asian Americans. There will also be an explosion of the Hindu-Indian American population, which already shows itself in its infusion into our financial, service and governmental industries. These 2 populations in particular will transform the way America looks and acts. The latter should concern you, as this will affect the attitudes towards black Americans adversely, because there is already some dissent, prejudice and indifference towards African Americans by these groups. Will their children expand the attitudes by their sheer numbers? Time will tell.

What is true is that the black population, barely growing 2-5% a year, with low birth rates rivaling whites and asians, will not be the new growth population with overwhelming influence on future events. Their population will be about 8% of the population by 2050, down from 11% today. More likely Hispanics will have a much stronger say on events, especially as they will inherit the native son argument over anyone from India or Pakistan. But the Hindu-Indians will be more respected in the business community, which will propel this group to a high status and visibility.

What world will they inherit? Probably a nation with more vigourous intents to protect civil rights, but also one with both whites and blacks feeling weakened in power and living with more anxiety about their future. As whites will undoubtedly still have more money than blacks at that time, they will be able to weather and adapt to survive, while being in a position to protect their culture and wealth to some extent. Blacks, with less of both, will probably lose more of what they had.

It's likely not an a cherries-and-cream future for all of us. If you're black, think about it.

Vancouver B.C.

I like the feisty yet serene view of Vancouver. A Canadian Seattle, if there is even a difference between the two entities. Plus I like the "dirty-stinky-thang" little look here:



and of course this is electric . . . . . .



especially love the silver blue eyes piercing at ya. not to mention the other 2 balls staring at 'cha as well. well, if they don't burst all over the floor first, of course....

Ode the The Ohio Players

Long before any of these 21st century music icons got crazy, there was a place and time in a not-so-far-off place not-so-long ago, that had the lock on the music. And the raunch. Perfect example is the 70s funk band the Ohio Players. Formed in 1959 in another music era, but inspired by the upcoming modern funk sound brought on by Sly & The Family Stone in the late 60s and early 70s, this group made some of the best funk and disco music heard in the 1970s. But they were notoriously known for their sexually explicit album covers.



One great thing about vinyl over CDs and MP3s, vinyl albums were larger, so their art covers were too. No little picture of the cover on my iPod, or 3 1/2" square CD jewlbox, these covers were 12" square, a foot-long hoagie of visuals. So with that you get covers like the one above. This is the cover of the album Honey, one of the Ohio Players best compilations. Oh, and the cover beauty covering herself with honey is October 1974 Playmate of the Month Ester Cordet, who at 28 years old then was a perfect (by mid-20th century standards) 36-24-26. She's 61 years old now, but with 50 being the new 30 she's no doubt still looking good.

Edo aka Tokyo 150 years ago

While wathcing this cool movie called Kwaidan (Jp. 1964) I heard about the great city of Edo. so i looked it up and wow, they had a million people in the 1600s. had to imagine that. anyway this movie is kinda a scary ghost movie (Coco finds it scary Japanese style and doesn't like it, go figure) that occurs in the townhomes of Edo.

this is a picture of Edo circa 1866. of course, this is the ancient name of Tokyo from 1457, when the Edo (now Imperial) Castle was built, to 1868, the end of the Tokugawa shogunate period:
