  Artist You Enjoy, Now That They're Dead

  by prophecor in

  it's sad but it's true, when an artists death occurs, they often become more famous post humously ( after they've died ), than the fame they experienced when they were alive.

  two that immediately come to mind for me are,

  a. stevie ray vaughn (legendary blues guitarist)

  Anyway mine are (even if I was too young or not even born when they died) -
  Donny Hathaway
  Bobby Womack
  Gram Parsons

  Bobby Womack ain't dead! In fact, he was in concert in Huntsville, AL a few weeks ago. I heard it was a great show.

  I see this has been a hot topic since I've been away.

  Flower:

  If your theory is correct then kids should also do drugs, have sex, cheat on tests, drink alcohol ect ect since there is peer pressure to do these things also. If they shouldnt cave in and do these things just to 'fit in', why should they lower themselves to poor language just to 'fit in'?

  Understandably, for kids in school fitting in is very important but there comes a point where they should know that its not THAT important. In these neighborhoods it starts with acting 'dumb' to fit in by talking like an idiot and it ends with robbing someone for the latest $200 shoes to fit in and ending up with a criminal record.

  I've been teased for 'talkin all proper' too but I joke about it and go on being who I am. I was raised in a normal mixed middle class area by black parents but it just so happened that I wasnt around the type of people who spoke in ghetto slang so I didnt pick it up. Its not part of who I am and I wouldnt add it to my speech just to fit the black american profile of who I should be.

  "Fit in" is probably the wrong term. My "theory" is some kids do what they have to do to be less conspicuous.

  You kinda answered your own question. There DOES come a point where fitting in is just not worth it when it comes to doing drugs, having sex, and committing crimes. I would hardly suggest that crime and poverty in the inner cities started from slang and poor grammar.

  And we're not talking about "normal mixed middle class areas" with TWO black parents. Generally, these are single parent homes with no education beyond high school at best.

  but I end up forcing myself to talk ghetto since I'm the only person talking like a "white guy". I

  this sums up the whole problem in one sentence. people who care more about what their 'homeys' think of them than they care about themselves, their future, their family ect.

  all that matters is being "cool". if being stupid is 'cool' then even smart people will act stupid as your statement implies. all that matters is what other people think.

  Flower:

  I don't think people, and this kid in particular, necessarily care more about what their 'homeys' think than themselves. Sometimes, at best, it is a matter of acceptance and at worst, a matter of survival that he "fit in."

  I, too, have been accused of "talkin' like a white girl." And if I had to choose between adding "who dat" and "what it is" to my speech and being accepted or getting my a** kicked and being ostracized for "ackin' white," .......guess what I'd pick!

  There was a real soulful r&b version of "Do you hear what I hear" that I really liked when I was a JW, it came out about 1984 but I cant remember the who sang it, very good female vocalist and groovy music but I've never been able to trace who sang it.

  Whitney Houston did a good version of this song, maybe it's her you're thinking about.

  My fav's are Donnie Hathaway's version of "This Christmas," The Temptations version of "Silent Night," everything from the Charlie Brown special, and drumroll please........................

  "Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto" by the Godfather himself, James Brown.
