Good music is good music.
We thought it would be great to see if you could put pop music back into musical theater.
And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent.
There's a constantly applicable nature to soul music, whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.
That's one wonderful thing about country music - it shifts, ebbs, and flows stylistically, unlike pop music.
I asked her if I was black or white. She replied "You are a human being. Educate yourself or you'll be a nobody!
Calling Michelle 'Obama Barack's baby mama?' Tell me, is that acceptable? But the Obamas aren't the only targets. Fox's pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people.
You know, I don't play the race card a lot. I'm half-black, half-white, and I'm proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didn't raise me as a black man. She didn't raise me as a white guy.

It's very lonely being a prominent black intellectual at an institution where you're the only prominent black intellectual. That was the model that was followed in the late 60s when black studies started. You'd get one here and one there and one here...
I got into my very theatrical phase. I wore only black: a big black hat and wild hair and wild black clothes, and I carried a sword stick. I went there still looking like Miss Florida, and I came back looking very different.
Black holes provide theoreticians with an important theoretical laboratory to test ideas. Conditions within a black hole are so extreme, that by analyzing aspects of black holes we see space and time in an exotic environment, one that has shed import...
The media love to cover black people on the front page. After all, when you live in a society that will lock up about 30 percent of all black men at some time in their lives and send more of them to prison than to college, chances are a fair number o...
If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we h...
[after Super 61 crashes] Harell: We got a black hawk down, we got a black hawk down. Matthews: Super 61 is down. We got a bird down in the city. Super 61 is on the deck now.
It seems that our politicians see the world in black and white, so why not our artists? Did Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' have to be in black and white? No. But is it fantastic that it was? To see New York like that? Yes!
Even though I dislike being kicked by others, I do enjoy the feeling of kicking others
Cherchez la femme, Bucky. Remember that.
Who would you be but who you are?
