what a woman who could have joined the D.A.R. has learned about the socially-constructed, political notion of "race" by just paying attention and NOT keeping her mouth shut...

Carlos Andres Gomez
Black Amazon tipped me to this man recently, causing me to order his cd, "Live From New York," winner of the 2006 L.A. Music Award for Spoken Word Album of the Year. Receiving that cd, while I wait to purchase the upcoming dvd of his one-man show, "Man Up!", is now causing me to post this example of his work. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Carlos Andres Gomez performing "All We Have."

C'est brillant!
I think so.
Incidentally, PZ, I guess you can tell I finally figured out how to add YouTube videos to my blog. Now, the trick will apparently be stopping. :^D
Il est magnifque en mes yeux.
If you go to my blog I am plugging him again.
I am a happy shill.
Now if only my other friends would get a move on....
He's going to get a LOT of attention over the next few years, for sure. And he so totally deserves it. I just wish I was getting a little more play on the blog these days so he'd get more here. Once you let your blog go underground, it's tough to climb back up.
In fact, I truly appreciate you dropping by, BA. Some days, I feel like I'm all dressed up with no where to go, if you know what I mean.
hee i knwo the feeling
i just dance in my room
is there a dvd of man up coming out? that show is so amazing. everyone should see it.
Anonymous: His website doesn't list it as available yet. I'm surprised. I wish it was. I TOTALLY want it when it comes out. Thanks for reminding me. You can google his name and go to his website, which is approximately as cool as he is. :^)
He speaks with so much passion as if to call one to the immediacy of his message. I have chills.
This is one of the best things about blogs. They allow folks to come along later and find wonderful surprises. Yes, Patrick, he does. And he affects me the same way. Plus he's a very nice man who ought to be a big star but probably won't be because he's a very nice man.
