*There is nothing like turning on one of Barry White’s songs and hearing that bellowing bass voice. We loved his music and some of us were even conceived to it.

*We’ve all been to a funeral, but raise your hand if you’ve been to a Homegoing Celebration. There’s a distinct difference between the two.

*The college experience has changed a lot over the years.

*It seems that having HIV/AIDS nowadays is no less taboo these days than it was when it started gaining worldwide attention in the 1980s.

*Has Dave Chappelle lost his umpf? The comedian had a hard time getting through his show in Austin, Texas Tuesday night because hecklers couldn’t help but interrupt the guy.

*If you think church is just for saints then you need to see “Church Folks … Will Send You To Hell!” This stage play will make you laugh, it will make you cry and most of all it shows that between the thin line of saint and sinner is a lot of personal growth that [...]
*It just so happened that interviews for “Men in Black 3” and TNT’s reboot of “Dallas” were held on the same day earlier this month, and who knew that Will Smith is not only a huge fan of all things South Fork, but actually viewed the show’s characters and their extreme wealth as inspiration. The [...]
*In some strange way, it’s hard not to feel a little bit of sympathy for Lamar Odom – even after the messy no-show he put up with the defending world champion Dallas Mavericks, ending with an ugly divorce last week. There’s a great bit of sympathy there resulting from his rough upbringing and from a [...]
*(Via CBS News) – Tornadoes tore through the Dallas area on Tuesday, tearing roofs off homes, tossing trucks into the air and leaving flattened tractor trailers strewn along highways and parking lots.
