Truer Words Were Never Spoken While Intoxicated?

‘I was in London the night of Jimi’s death and together with some old friends ...we went round to Monika’s hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth ...then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe. ‘I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I’d lose everything.’

So dig it. A former assistant to James Marshall Hendrix, James "Tappy" Wright, claims in his "tell all this ish now" book enitled Rock Roadie that Jimi's manager, Michael Jeffrey, drunkenly confessed to murdering the musician. The year was 1971, one year following the Sept. 1970 death of Hendrix and two years prior to the tragic 1973 death of Jeffrey in a plane crash.

First of all why didn't Tappy speak up in '71 if this confession was indeed valid evidence in unconvering the hints of mystery surrounding Hendrix's cause of death? Second of all, I don't know about ya'll but why is that many of these legendary musicians' deaths go hand in hand with skepticism and one's own outlandlish beliefs? Jim Morrison never had an autopsy, and plenty of folk think that dude is alive. Not to mention, Pac and Elvis are chillin WHO KNOWS WHERE...SUPPOSEDLY!

Third of all, mad people seem to let greed for green overcome their lives especially when it comes to one's life insurance, so if this really did happen, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised... but I ain't buying it until proven otherwise!!!

Washing Out My Dandruff Thoughts: Rinse 9

I don't know about the rest of the world, but this has to be one of the best sitcoms of the 20th century. I have been an avid watcher and enthusiast since I was a kid when I didn't get half of the suggestive punchlines and subject matters. However, over time I find myself cracking up more and more whenever it's on the tube. I talk about men with my crew and I LOVE CHEESECAKE!!! Call me old, who cares! The show is amazing!

Hallmark Channel= Golden Girl Central

My Favorite Character= Dorothy (R.I.P to my homie Bea)

Movie Time With Eye D. vs Mel O.

- Insightful much: I knew of the illuminati but not too much so I gained a few pounds of insight


- Pinches of Wit in regard to Tom Hanks' role as a "symbologist" and the overall quest to locate the 4 elements


- Not long/boring and inundated with pointless material!


* However I'm thinking that I must read the book because my friend who accompanied me said it was way better


I say check it out!

Digital Archeological Digs: Discovery # 3

I am supposed to be typing up these two essays for my Social Action class but I'll get back to my regularly scheduled program in a bit.

Now... I'm on this all expense paid Roy Ayers excursion at the moment and I don't think I wanna return for quite awhile. As my mind gazes at his jazzy pictures created with deep xylophone strokes, I came across one Dope song out of many.
Who would have thought that the M*A*S*H theme could undergo a soulful jazz lift? This track is off the album, Change Up The Groove (1974). "Suicide is Painless" is still my ish, but this track is sooo SCRUMPTIOUS!

Give it a listen!

Mel. O's Thoughts and Views

1. The movie was horrid!!! I don't care how much it made in the boxoffice!
2. The background music and plot would even make Lifetime cringe
3. Further proves my point of how Beyonce CANNOT act... and they thinkin of casting her as Angela Davis?!
Get THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!

PS- Me and my buddy knew the movie would suck so don't get it twisted that we had high hopes for it! If anything, it was more of a comedy than a suspense
