"What's good?!"

Good question. In the next issue of BWLP which will be broadcast here on January 20th, we'll be investigating just, what indeed IS good. Love is the theme, and we need to flip the applique, so to speak: some issues need love.
Because we know what rage is for, don't we?




because...
as we ask,
when will there be justice for Oscar Grant?
we ask in the same breath,
when will there be justice for Chauncey Bailey?
we ask,
when will Israel stop treating Palestinians like concentration camp detainees?
and
when will Israel not have rockets rain down from their skies?
(And the answer can't really be.."when they stop...")

Oh, and you DO know that China is the largest financial investor to the Unites States- we've got a deficit and who do you think we owe?

Obama's grappling with an economy so thrashed from the gluttonous heyday that thrived under previous administrations (both Clinton AND the Bushes) and although we have love for the brother, he's going to need all the ethereal instance and aura that has blessed him to take this country UP.
We're hopeful. Because we have to be.
Some really crappy things go down. But as we breathe and pursue something better with focus and attention to detail...we will not only scratch the surface of solutions to reverse the turmoil in the hearts of humanity- but massage the psyche of our world for beautiful days ahead for future generations.

Come on y'all. Let's do this thing- the right way.
We try and bring about change by celebrating the things we love.
For your pleasure and healing. But for the other full range of emotions and states you go through as well. It's just that hip-hop is our thing.

The January 2009 issue of Birds Who Like Pomegranate Mixed Music Magazine will be our first hat to be thrown into the ring of positive expression using the tools we get down with: a camera, musical equipment, and the net coming straight to you.
It will be VERY VERY special indeed. Parts 1 and 2. Pulling out all the stops.
