She was Ray Charles' half sister and an even better pianist in my opinion. She was great during those early 90's Pepsi commercials with the Uh Huh Girls

Tell me this isn't good, about a kid who is called to office in school after his 4 year old brother was killed by a car.
Quote
Mid-Term Break by Seamus Heaney
I sat all morning in the college sick bay
Counting bells knelling classes to a close.
At two o'clock our neighbors drove me home.

In the porch I met my father crying--
He had always taken funerals in his stride--
And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow.

The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram
When I came in, and I was embarrassed
By old men standing up to shake my hand

And tell me they were "sorry for my trouble,"
Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest,
Away at school, as my mother held my hand

In hers and coughed out angry tearless sighs.
At ten o'clock the ambulance arrived
With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses.

Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops
And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him
For the first time in six weeks. Paler now,

Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple,
He lay in the four foot box as in his cot.
No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.

A four foot box, a foot for every year.

There is an old Skool saying, "words are like bullets"
So, shooting with words, is using the words as bullets.
There is term used sometimes "a cutting glance". So, you are giving a look at someone like you want to cut them, harm them.

And, you have to think about the time, it was published in 1978 (And Still I rise) during the Black Empowerment era (Afros, etc).
It was written in free verse. So that is the reason why  the rhyme scheme is diff. But, the imagery is there. Especially for those who had to live during the Civil Rights era.

For pure talent: Cosby.  Amazing comedian.  He could tell me about waiting in a checkout line and put me in stitches.  I didn't like his scripted show but when he's live he's damn live.  He's right there, seamlessly.  So much so you forget he's performing, he's so smooth.  For my money, even the other greats look like they're just calculating when to proceed with their programed material.  For timing and audience awareness, he's second to none.

Post by: Tapeworm on May 28, 2014, 11:42:26 AM
Only one?

You only asked for one, ya greedy bastard!  

I think that you think that Bill Cosby is an oreo because his material isn't about race, like so many other black comedians, and you think I picked him to be a wise ass.  Maybe not, wtf do I know.  I mentioned him because he's the most talented comedian I've ever seen.  I think Carlin's later material was better because it had way more straight balls than Cosby's.  Martin, Kaufman, maybe Gottfried were bolder and pushed the envelope without getting political.  Moderns like CK and Burr are very watchable but formulaic, and lack Cosby's charm.  Connoly is the nearest parallel I can draw for someone who lends a conversational tone to performance but Cosby is in a league of his own when it comes to holding the room in his hands.

I don't particularly admire anyone from the rights movement.  I'll stop short of trashing a recently dead woman, especially since I don't know anything about her life's work, but I think a lot of them were simply self serving.  I admire the courage of a lot of unnamed people who fought a fucked up system, but the rhetoric of the movement ought to have changed with the movement's progress.  It didn't, and still hasn't, which makes it antiquated and divisive in 2014.  My understanding is that the whole point was to end segregation.  You've read Malcolm's book.  What conclusion did he come to?

So lose the chip.  It's as silly on you as on the chippy white guys that you come here to battle. When's the last time you had a laugh here?  You gotta find a way to let dickheads be dickheads when there are no consequences, like here.  Your ego doesn't always have to be avenged.  Try it, it's liberating.  

Forgive the rant but what, finally, is the point if you're not having any fun?

The funny thing is, I have never been called a Tom, except once, and it was from a old black man. And was looped in the head to begin with.

It's Unfornate that if people knew, Uncle Tom was the first advocate of "Stop Snitching".
When a few slaves ran away, he wouldn't tell the master where they went, even when tortured.

Here at GetBig we are not racist, we hate everybody equally.

Are there certain individuals that resort to derogatory racial remarks? Yes.

Do we take an active stand and try to remove them? Yes.

Parker, G-Thang, BayGBM, Lobstah and Vincenzo Goodrum are all African Americans and we have no problems whatsoever with any of them.

I purposely left out Wiggs, because he isn't African American. He is Hebrew.

Read a great James Baldwin story in college called "Sonny's Blues." About jazz, not race, but he was black. And gay.

Don't you ever laugh as a hearse goes by,
 for you may be the next to die.
 They wrap you up in a big white sheet,
 And cover you up from your head down to your feet.
 They put you in a big black box,
 And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
 All goes well for about a week,
 And then your coffin begins to leak.
 The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
 The worms play pinochle* on your snout.
 They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
 They eat the jelly between your toes.
 A big green worm with rolling eyes,
 Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes.
 Your stomach turns a slimy green,
 And pus pours out like whipping cream.
 You spread it out on a slice of bread,
 And that's what you eat when you are dead.

As we take this time to honour the great Maya Angelou, let us also take time to give thanks for Getbig's own honorary Wegro Poet Laureate, Toka Swola who dazzled us with such verse as "You've got to B swol to Cswol". But also admonished us to never cupcake, nor lolipop.

Have you ever fired your weapon?

I was in my house in North Carolina. It was fall. I heard someone walking on the leaves. And somebody actually turned the knob. So I said, “Stand four feet back because I’m going to shoot now!” Boom! Boom! The police came by and said, “Ms. Angelou, the shots came from inside the house.” I said, “Well, I don’t know how that happened.”

I met her when I was 17.  Even then I recall her poetry being just mediocre.  Seemed like a lot of the praise she received was because she was a black woman. 

Langston Hughes OTH was a true American poet genius.

''I was so sick last night I
Didn't hardly know my mind.
So sick last night I
Didn't know my mind.
I drunk some bad licker that
Almost made me blind.''
