The Occupy Movement that has swept America and the world, had it's Occupy Oakland beginnings with the revelation of irrefutable evidence of the mass fraud and corruption of the Oakland City Attorney, Oakland Police Department, Alameda County District Attorney, Alameda County Superior Court, California State Appeals Court and California Supreme Court in an action to deny justice and cover up that denial of justice in the 20 year case of Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim vs CSAA, Rescue, et al.
The unrest caused by the exposure of the criminal actions of these law enforcement, legal and judicial individuals/bodies in this matter implored others to investigate the ongoing case revealing even more rampant corruption that has dramatically portrayed the sullied, sordid underbelly culture of corruption that Oakland and Alameda County has long been known for! This pattern continued even through the Oscar Grant murder debacle but lead to the people of the Oakland East Bay Area and beyond, standing up to that corruption and saying "NO MORE!!!".
The cry at ALL the Occupy events world-wide are echoing the frustration felt by the people of the East Bay Area, "We are ALL Oscar Grant!!" and most are reacting in solidarity and union with those whom have voiced their opinions with their frustrations in a varied manner of ways. The world witnessed as Oakland revolted and burned with the that cry and now the whole world is chanting the same tune and following Oakland lead as it did in the 1960-70's re-evolution!
The Minority and Occupy Communities ( #occupyoakland #OWS) are evaluating the elected officials, want-to-be-leaders, clergy and so-called power brokers that do not represent their interest, yet claim to bargain and speak for them! How can these self-perceived "influence peddlers" bargain away the rights and interests of people they do not talk to, know nor represent?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nowtruth.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8157163&amp;post=928&amp;subd=nowtruth&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

<h4>Pianist/M.C./Producer/Band-Director premieres excerpts from his new hip-hopera: The Chosen One</h4>
<div class="p_embed p_image_embed"><img class="alignright" title="Choice" src="http://nowtruth.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/1unknownname4.jpg?w=210&#038;h=210" alt="Choice" width="210" height="210" /></div>
<p>The theme for this special performance is &#8220;The Art of Composition&#8221; as Oakland M.C./Pianist/Composer Kev Choice and his dynamic Ensemble will focusing on compositions and instrumental works that he has written and compiled over the years. His compositions have a wide range of influence from Herbie Hancock to Maurice Ravel to J-Dilla. He will also cover select compositions from his favorite composers ranging from Stevie Wonder, Chopin, to Kanye West. In addition, Kev Choice will be premiering excerpts from his Hip-Hopera-&#8221;Electus Unus&#8221; (The Chosen One), which will feature the Ensemble joined by a string trio section and bassonist. &#8220;The Chosen One&#8221;, a concept project that Kev has been working on for the past year, is a mythological story of a child who was sent to the Earth, from the Heavens, to save a self-destructing world with his extraordinary musical talents. The story is told in a rap style over lush string arrangements and classic hip-hop drum patterns. Extended intros, codas, modulations, thick instrumentation, lays the foundation of this half-fantasy/half-reality tale that stretches the boundaries of the hip-hop genre. As &#8220;Keyboard Magazine&#8221; recently tweeted, &#8220;Anyone who doesn&#8217;t think real keyboard playing and rap dont mix, check Kev Choice&#8221;.</p>
<p>Pianist/M.C./Producer/Band-Director, Kev Choice is a multi-faceted artist poised to take the music world to dimensions it has never before seen. Never before has an artist grounded in the Hip-Hop tradition, had this type of musical prowess. Classically and jazz trained, schooled in the classic era of Hip-Hop, and influenced by genres from all over the globe, Kev Choice is a unique artist with the capabilities to blend musical elements in a convincing manner. With a resume that includes a Master’s Degree in Music, and having toured the world professionally as a keyboardist and M.C. with a diverse list of artist such as of Lauryn Hill, D.J. Quik, Too Short, Dwele, Zion I, Goapele, LyricsBorn, Martin Luther, and Michael Franti and Spearhead, it is hard to deny the extreme gift that Kev Choice brings to the stage. Having formed his band, Kev Choice Ensemble, in 2007, Kev Choice began to focus on giving the world his unique sound and vision while presenting a powerful stage show. Kev Choice has named &#8220;Best Musician&#8221; and &#8220;Most Multi-Talented Instrumentalist&#8221; by East Bay Express in the past few years and also nominated for &#8220;Best Soul-Funk Artist&#8221; by SF WEEKLY on 3 different occasions. An M.C. that can deliver conscious, witty, relevant lyrics, while playing keys with the skill of a seasoned pianist, is a sight to behold and a breath of freshness to the industry.</p>
<p>The Kev Choice Ensemble has been one of the most dynamic bands in The Bay Area over the last 5 years. The Ensemble features a diverse array and mix of talented musicians with a broad range of talents from the jazz elements of Howard Riley and Geechi Taylor to the soulfulness of Viveca Hawkins voice or Greggo Simmons on guitar. The foundation is held together by the super solid Hassan Hurd on drums, the funk-rock presence of Uriah Duffy on Bass, and the seasoned stylings of Mike Blankenship on keys. For this show they will also be joined by Ajayi Jackson on bassoon and percussion, as well as a string trio featuring violin, viola, and cello. The Ensemble has been heralded as &#8220;the most musical hip-hop group ever&#8221;.</p>

<p>Erykah Badu was born Erica Wright in Dallas, Texas, in 1972. By the age of 14, Erykah was free-styling for a local radio station alongside such talent as Roy Hargrove, who, incidentally, was a talented beat-boxer back in the 80&#8242;s and who is now a very successful session musician in his own right. In her early youth, she decided to change the spelling of her name from Erica to Erykah, as she firmly believed her original name to be her &#8216;slave&#8217; name. The term &#8216;kah&#8217; signifies the inner self, which, when translated from Muslim, means &#8216;can do no wrong&#8217;. Her surname, Badu, derives from an Arabic word which means &#8216;to manifest truth and light&#8217;. After completing her theatre studies at university in 1993, Erykah Badu decided to concentrate on her music. She began to teach children how to sing and dance, whilst also performing in a hip-hop act with her cousin entitled Erykah Free. The following year Erykah met Tim Grace, of Legacy Entertainment. He listened to a demo once and decided to sign the young hip-hop duo without further hesitation. He then successfully managed to book Erykah Free to open for such established hip-hop crews as A Tribe Called Quest and Arrested Development. Erykah began recording the Baduizm set in 1996 and worked with such talented producers as ?love and Richard Nichols of The Roots, James Poyser and N&#8217;dambi. February of 1997 couldn&#8217;t possibly have been a bigger year for Erykah. Her debut album was released and it achieved platinum status in under a month; her live shows received continual praise and her popularity increased dramatically. Erykah Badu had finally arrived on the big stage. Erykah Badu inevitably drew close comparisons to the legendary Billie Holiday. The formers blend of old soul, jazz and hip-hop, fused with a hypnotic flow is capable of stirring the deepest emotions, and Erykah&#8217;s place amongst today&#8217;s elite female soul artists of the world is already well and truly assured.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-13YKaqiik">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-13YKaqiik</a></p>
<p>Victoria Theodore received her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Classical Piano Performance and Computer Music from Oberlin College / Conservatory of Music (where she studied piano with Sedmara Zakarian Rutstein), and her Master of Arts degree in Classical Piano Performance from Stanford University (where she studied piano with George Barth and vocal accompaniment with Judith Bettina). As a teen, Victoria studied piano and voice in the UC Berkeley Young Musician&#8217;s Program (YMP) and sang (and began her accompanying career) with the Oakland Youth Chorus (OYC) , under the direction of Trente Morant. Through YMP, Victoria studied piano primarily with Eugene Gash (1920-1995), the first African-American concert pianist to perform a solo concert at Carnegie Hall, and a student of E. Robert Schmitz (1889-1949), a student of composer Claude Debussy. During her Stanford years, Victoria also studied Jazz Piano with Mark Levine, Bill Bell and Frank Martin.</p>
<p>While studying for her MA, Victoria performed with several San Francisco Bay Area ensembles and bands, including The Peninsula Symphony, Theatreworks, Hayward Little Theater, Oakland Youth Chorus, and jazz bands Victoria Theodore Quintet, Time Will Tell Sextet, LMNOP and 10BassT. Shortly after graduation from Stanford, Victoria toured nationally as a keyboardist for Captiol Records artists Oaktown 357 &#8211; produced by MC Hammer.</p>
<p>After Oaktown 357’s tour ended, Victoria moved to New York City to run a multimedia company. In 2000, Victoria returned to the Bay Area after several years running her company, GlobalDisc.com – a very successful venture which is still a market leader in same day media duplication.</p>
<p>Beginning in August, 2007, Victoria was hired to tour with legendary musical genius Stevie Wonder, playing keyboards and singing background vocals in his band. She has traveled around the world with Stevie and looks forward to more touring! (And yes, it&#8217;s as fabulous as you&#8217;d imagine!)</p>

<div>
<p><em>Fela!</em> is presented by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the first time they’ve produced a Broadway show. <em>Fela!</em> was created by Bill T. Jones. Jones choreographed, wrote the play book for, and directed <em>Fela!</em> Jones created his own dance company, has won a MacArthur Genius Award, a Harlem Renaissance Award, an Obie, and a Tony, among many other honors.</p>
<p><em>Fela!</em> documents the incredible true story of Fela Kuti, a musician from Nigeria who pioneered Afro beat music, and who fought for civil rights and against political corruption in his native country.</p>
<p>Fela was initially going to be a doctor, but decided to be a musician instead, fusing many different styles and the sounds of his native country into what eventually became known as his own distinct and complex style of music, Afrobeat.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h2>The Political Struggles of Fela</h2>
<p>Fela first started calling his music Afrobeat in the late sixties, and as his career progressed, his music got more political, much to the chagrin of the Nigerian government, who attacked the commune where Fela lived, destroying his studio, and beating him badly (Fela’s mother was killed during the attack).</p>
<p>But this didn’t quiet Fela or his music, which continued to infuriate the government. Fela also tried to run for President in Nigeria’s first elections in over ten years. When Fela died in 1997, over a million people came to the funeral chanting “Fela will live forever,” and a shrine was built in his honor.</p>
<p>It has been said that hip-hop would not exist without Fela’s music, and he was also described as a combination of James Brown, Muhammad Ali, and Bob Dylan. Eventually Fela’s music was re-released, and several musical shows showcasing his story and life hit the stage (recently a movie from Focus Features about the life of Fela was made for release in 2010).</p>
</div>
<p><em>Fela!</em> was first performed off-Broadway in 2008, and it was a huge success, hitting Broadway the following year, with the help of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jay-Z, and several other producers. The music of Fela has also been provided by Antibalas, a modern nine-piece afrobeat band. <em>Fela!</em> of course also features the incredible legacy of music he left behind, and his musical and political legacy still live on strong.</p>
<h2>The Triumph of Fela</h2>
<p>The musical <em>Fela!</em> is an incredible explosion of music, color and culture. The website <a href="http://www.felaonbroadway.com/">www.felaonbroadway.com</a> notes, “Please be advised that <em>Fela!</em> has loud sound effects, smoke and haze effects and strobe effects. &#8220;The Broadway experience can be like sitting with blinders on,&#8221; the creator of <em>Fela!</em> told Billboard. &#8220;This is a show you enjoy as much with your body as with your mind. It&#8217;s free and communal.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Fela!</em> is presented by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the first time they’ve produced a Broadway show. <em>Fela!</em> was created by Bill T. Jones. Jones choreographed, wrote the play book for, and directed <em>Fela!</em> Jones created his own dance company, has won a MacArthur Genius Award, a Harlem Renaissance Award, an Obie, and a Tony, among many other honors.</p>
<p><em>Fela!</em> has been nominated for 11 Tony Awards, and has won three: Best Choreography, Best Costume Design for a Musical, and Best Sound Design for a Musical.</p>

<p>An influential alternative rap quartet from South Central Los Angeles, the Pharcyde was formed by MCs/producers Tre &#8220;Slimkid&#8221; Hardson, Imani Wilcox, and Romye &#8220;Booty Brown&#8221; Robinson. Hardson, Wilcox, and Robinson were all dancers and choreographers who met on the L.A. underground club circuit in the late &#8217;80s, worked together for a while, and served a stint as dancers on In Living Color.  Under the tutelage of Reggie Andrews, a local high-school music teacher, the group learned about the music industry and the process of recording an album. They landed a deal with Delicious Vinyl in 1991, and a year later released their eccentric debut album, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, which went gold. After support slots for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest as well as a successful spot on Lollapalooza&#8217;s second stage in 1994, the group released its second album, Labcabincalifornia, which was calmer than their first but no less warped. After a five-year break which saw little action, the Pharcyde returned in late 2000 with their third album, Plain Rap.</p>

<h4>Celebrate the New Year with some Funk!</h4>
<p><strong><em> Parker talks with his sax, chatters away without a seeming care. It&#8217;s a musical antidepressant, an antidote to dark days. &#8230;.firmed my belief that the world would be a better place if we all funked together.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>-San Diego Reader</strong></p>
<p>Maceo Parker: his name is synonymous with Funky Music, his pedigree impeccable; his band: the tightest little funk orchestra on earth.</p>
<p>Everyone knows by now that he&#8217;s played with each and every leader of funk, his start with James Brown, which Maceo describes as &#8221; like being at University &#8220;; jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton; stretching out with Bootsy&#8217;s Rubber Band.  He’s the living, breathing pulse which connects the history of Funk in one golden thread. The cipher which unravels dance music down to its core.</p>
<p>His collaborations over the years performing or recording or both have included Ray Charles, Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. His timeless sound has garnered him a fresh young fan base.</p>
<p>It is almost impossible to separate which came first, Maceo or the funk. The amazing P-funk Parker has been at it with his legendary alto horn for some time dating back to the 1960’s. That’s when Maceo and his drummer brother Melvin climbed on board the James Brown funky soul funk train. It wasn’t long before James coined the solo summoning signature, “ Maceo, I want you to Blow!”. To most musicologists it’s the muscially fertile group of men from this period of James Brown&#8217;s band who are recognized as the early pioneers of the modern funk and hip-hop we still jump to today.</p>

<p><big>Zongo Junction embodies the wealth of Brooklyn’s musical diversity, by melding traditional West African rhythms with Funk, Jazz and Soul from the U.S. Heavily influenced by Nigerian superstar, political activist and afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the 13-piece ensemble gets audiences riled up and dancing at every show they put on.</big></p>
<p>The band was conceived in early 2007 by drummer Charles Ferguson and original keyboardist, Adam Coopersmith while the two attended the New School in New York City. When Charles returned from a six-month trip to Ghana, where he studied African highlife music and traditional xylophone technique, he teamed up with Adam and 11 other musicians to form Zongo Junction. The name comes from the bus stop from which Charles lived off of while living in Accra, Ghana.</p>
<p>The band was well received from the start. Their club debut at Public Assembly (formerly the Galapagos Arts Center) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in July was a huge success, and led to a monthly residency for the duration of the year. Since then, the band has performed at some of New York’s most illustrious venues including the Knitting Factory and Le Poisson Rouge as well as Williams College in Williamstown, MA and the Elbo Room in San Francisco where they played a sold out show the night before New Year’s in 2009.</p>
<p>The core of the band was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been playing music together virtually since they were all still in diapers. Five members of the band were part of the prestigious Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble (alumni include: Joshua Redman, Peter Apfelbaum, Will Bernard, Benny Green) and twice toured Europe. All members moved to New York after High School to attend music programs at The New School and New York University.</p>
<p>Turkuaz is comprised of Brooklyn’s funkiest and brightest. The two founding members, Taylor Shell and Dave Brandwein, met at Berklee College of Music in Boston. As members of the Galaxy Smith Digital Media Collective (Galaxysmith.com) they are now kicking things into high gear with their 8 – 13 piece (depending on the occasion) high energy funk band. Influences range from the Talking Heads to James Brown – P-Funk to Jamiroquai – creating a show which is an eclectic mix of funk influences and sounds from all over the board. When the group takes their party to the stage it certainly is a spectacle to be remembered.</p>

<h4 id="vt">Idle Warship &#8220;System Addict&#8221; feat. Jean Grae &amp; Jay Knocka</h4>
<h4 id="vt"><!--YouTube Error: bad URL entered--></h4>
<p>After four years of independently released tracks that spread like wildfire across the web, Idle Warship will release their first official collection of songs entitled Habits of the Heart on November 1st, 2011, viaBlacksmith/Element 9/Fontana. The 12-track album has Idle Warship storming the music scene with a bold and indefinable mash-up of influences, from soul to hip-hip to alternative to electronic. Idle Warship brought an incredible range of musical sensibilities into the studio and we’ll venture to say that the output will completely blow your mind.</p>
<p>Idle Warship is a perfect example of how a whole can become greater than the sum of its parts – and that is saying quite a lot given the musical components of this project. A collaboration between longtime friends and collaborators, hip-hop luminary Talib Kweli and critically acclaimed soulful singer and songwriter Res, Idle Warship was born out of sheer experimentation in the studio. But some of the best things in life happen when least expected. When fans of Talib and Res heard and reacted to some online MP3s of what these two had created during their off-the-cuff sessions, it became clear that that something much bigger was brewing. Since making a huge splash at SXSW in 2009 and completing a successful European tour, Idle Warship made Party Robot – their mixtape with master DJ Mick Boogie and singer/songwriter Graph Nobel – available for free download in 2010. It only left the fans craving more, and now the wait is over!</p>
<p>With an obvious chemistry, a dedication to free creative expression and now a new album, Talib and Res’partnership has become a musical force to be reckoned with. Habits of the Heart effortlessly shifts from the rhythmic hand-clapping blast of “Laser Beams” (stream or embed the song here) to the off-kilter futuristic track “Driving Me Insane” to the unbridled, heartfelt piano ballad “Beautifully Bad.” With guest spots fromChester French and John Forte on “Covered in Fantasy,” and Michelle Williams on “Katya,” Habits of The Heart takes you on one thrilling journey.</p>

OCCUPY OAKLAND! OCCUPY WALL STREET!!!
Oakland City Attorney Resigns! FORCED OUT!!! Can't Dodge Fraud, Corruption Charges!

    The Occupy Movement that has swept America and the world, had it's Occupy Oakland beginnings with the revelation of irrefutable evidence of the mass fraud and corruption of the Oakland City Attorney, Oakland Police Department, Alameda County District Attorney, Alameda County Superior Court, California State Appeals Court and California Supreme Court in an action to deny justice and cover up that denial of justice in the 20 year case of Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim vs CSAA, Rescue, et al.

    The unrest caused by the exposure of the criminal actions of these law enforcement, legal and judicial individuals/bodies in this matter implored others to investigate the ongoing case revealing even more rampant corruption that has dramatically portrayed the sullied, sordid underbelly culture of corruption that Oakland and Alameda County has long been known for! This pattern continued even through the Oscar Grant murder debacle but lead to the people of the Oakland East Bay Area and beyond, standing up to that corruption and saying "NO MORE!!!".

    The cry at ALL the Occupy events world-wide are echoing the frustration felt by the people of the East Bay Area, "We are ALL Oscar Grant!!" and most are reacting in solidarity and union with those whom have voiced their opinions with their frustrations in a varied manner of ways. The world witnessed as Oakland revolted and burned with the that cry and now the whole world is chanting the same tune and following Oakland lead as it did in the 1960-70's re-evolution!

    The Minority and Occupy Communities ( #occupyoakland #OWS) are evaluating the elected officials, want-to-be-leaders, clergy and so-called power brokers that do not represent their interest, yet claim to bargain and speak for them! How can these self-perceived "influence peddlers" bargain away the rights and interests of people they do not talk to, know nor represent?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nowtruth.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8157163&amp;post=920&amp;subd=nowtruth&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

<p>Orgone Los Angeles?Funk / Soul / Afro-beat??or·gone (ôr’gon) ?n. A universal life force, a cosmic unit of energy, the creative force in nature.</p>
<p>Los Angeles based band Orgone is many souls with a cosmic connection, a natural creative force and musicians who have played together for years. They are self schooled and continue to shape their musical voice as a solid unit of guys who hang, spin records and jam out their shared inspirations. With a rooted sense of funk, soul, afrobeat, deep rhythms and an intimate understanding of dj culture as well as each others’ individual talents, Orgone seamlessly slides through multiple styles and dynamic performances. The group continuously injects whatever they play with a heavy brand of raw funk power.</p>
<p>At the core of the band is a rhythm section comprised of close friends who have played together for more than 10 years. Having grown artistically as a unit they function as one organic and intuitive whole. The orginal 5-member band started out by putting their own gritty takes on tunes by the likes of the JBs, the Meters, Booker T. and the MGs, Grant Green and Funkadelic among many others. They quickly gained underground respect and die hard fans. With their searing live sets and original instrumentals, Orgone soon released their debut self titled CD, “Orgone,” in 2002. The result was a collection of all original down home, transcendental, tough and gritty funk instrumentals.</p>

Erykah Badu was born Erica Wright in Dallas, Texas, in 1972. By the age of 14, Erykah was free-styling for a local radio station alongside such talent as Roy Hargrove, who, incidentally, was a talented beat-boxer back in the 80&#8242;s and who is now a very successful session musician in his own right. In her early youth, she decided to change the spelling of her name from Erica to Erykah, as she firmly believed her original name to be her &#8216;slave&#8217; name. The term &#8216;kah&#8217; signifies the inner self, which, when translated from Muslim, means &#8216;can do no wrong&#8217;. Her surname, Badu, derives from an Arabic word which means &#8216;to manifest truth and light&#8217;. After completing her theatre studies at university in 1993, Erykah Badu decided to concentrate on her music. She began to teach children how to sing and dance, whilst also performing in a hip-hop act with her cousin entitled Erykah Free. The following year Erykah met Tim Grace, of Legacy Entertainment. He listened to a demo once and decided to sign the young hip-hop duo without further hesitation. He then successfully managed to book Erykah Free to open for such established hip-hop crews as A Tribe Called Quest and Arrested Development. Erykah began recording the Baduizm set in 1996 and worked with such talented producers as ?love and Richard Nichols of The Roots, James Poyser and N&#8217;dambi. February of 1997 couldn&#8217;t possibly have been a bigger year for Erykah. Her debut album was released and it achieved platinum status in under a month; her live shows received continual praise and her popularity increased dramatically. Erykah Badu had finally arrived on the big stage. Erykah Badu inevitably drew close comparisons to the legendary Billie Holiday. The formers blend of old soul, jazz and hip-hop, fused with a hypnotic flow is capable of stirring the deepest emotions, and Erykah&#8217;s place amongst today&#8217;s elite female soul artists of the world is already well and truly assured.</p>

445 Geary St<br />
San Francisco, CA 94102</p>
<p>Fela! is presented by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the first time they’ve produced a Broadway show. Fela! was created by Bill T. Jones. Jones choreographed, wrote the play book for, and directed Fela! Jones created his own dance company, has won a MacArthur Genius Award, a Harlem Renaissance Award, an Obie, and a Tony, among many other honors.</p>
<p>Fela! documents the incredible true story of Fela Kuti, a musician from Nigeria who pioneered Afro beat music, and who fought for civil rights and against political corruption in his native country.</p>
<p>Fela was initially going to be a doctor, but decided to be a musician instead, fusing many different styles and the sounds of his native country into what eventually became known as his own distinct and complex style of music, Afrobeat.</p>
<p>The Political Struggles of Fela</p>
<p>Fela first started calling his music Afrobeat in the late sixties, and as his career progressed, his music got more political, much to the chagrin of the Nigerian government, who attacked the commune where Fela lived, destroying his studio, and beating him badly (Fela’s mother was killed during the attack).</p>
<p>But this didn’t quiet Fela or his music, which continued to infuriate the government. Fela also tried to run for President in Nigeria’s first elections in over ten years. When Fela died in 1997, over a million people came to the funeral chanting “Fela will live forever,” and a shrine was built in his honor.</p>
<p>It has been said that hip-hop would not exist without Fela’s music, and he was also described as a combination of James Brown, Muhammad Ali, and Bob Dylan. Eventually Fela’s music was re-released, and several musical shows showcasing his story and life hit the stage (recently a movie from Focus Features about the life of Fela was made for release in 2010).</p>
<p>Fela! was first performed off-Broadway in 2008, and it was a huge success, hitting Broadway the following year, with the help of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jay-Z, and several other producers. The music of Fela has also been provided by Antibalas, a modern nine-piece afrobeat band. Fela! of course also features the incredible legacy of music he left behind, and his musical and political legacy still live on strong.</p>
<p>The Triumph of Fela</p>
<p>The musical Fela! is an incredible explosion of music, color and culture. The website www.felaonbroadway.com notes, “Please be advised that Fela! has loud sound effects, smoke and haze effects and strobe effects. &#8220;The Broadway experience can be like sitting with blinders on,&#8221; the creator of Fela! told Billboard. &#8220;This is a show you enjoy as much with your body as with your mind. It&#8217;s free and communal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fela! is presented by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the first time they’ve produced a Broadway show. Fela! was created by Bill T. Jones. Jones choreographed, wrote the play book for, and directed Fela! Jones created his own dance company, has won a MacArthur Genius Award, a Harlem Renaissance Award, an Obie, and a Tony, among many other honors.</p>
<p>Fela! has been nominated for 11 Tony Awards, and has won three: Best Choreography, Best Costume Design for a Musical, and Best Sound Design for a Musical.</p>

ZONGO JUNCTION/ TURKUAZ</p>
<p>Day: Thur, Dec 29, 2011<br />
Showtime: 9:00 PM<br />
Doors open: 8:00 PM<br />

<p>Zongo Junction embodies the wealth of Brooklyn’s musical diversity, by melding traditional West African rhythms with Funk, Jazz and Soul from the U.S. Heavily influenced by Nigerian superstar, political activist and afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the 13-piece ensemble gets audiences riled up and dancing at every show they put on.</p>
<p>The band was conceived in early 2007 by drummer Charles Ferguson and original keyboardist, Adam Coopersmith while the two attended the New School in New York City. When Charles returned from a six-month trip to Ghana, where he studied African highlife music and traditional xylophone technique, he teamed up with Adam and 11 other musicians to form Zongo Junction. The name comes from the bus stop from which Charles lived off of while living in Accra, Ghana.</p>
<p>The band was well received from the start. Their club debut at Public Assembly (formerly the Galapagos Arts Center) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in July was a huge success, and led to a monthly residency for the duration of the year. Since then, the band has performed at some of New York’s most illustrious venues including the Knitting Factory and Le Poisson Rouge as well as Williams College in Williamstown, MA and the Elbo Room in San Francisco where they played a sold out show the night before New Year’s in 2009.</p>
<p>The core of the band was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been playing music together virtually since they were all still in diapers. Five members of the band were part of the prestigious Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble (alumni include: Joshua Redman, Peter Apfelbaum, Will Bernard, Benny Green) and twice toured Europe. All members moved to New York after High School to attend music programs at The New School and New York University.</p>
<p>Turkuaz is comprised of Brooklyn’s funkiest and brightest. The two founding members, Taylor Shell and Dave Brandwein, met at Berklee College of Music in Boston. As members of the Galaxy Smith Digital Media Collective (Galaxysmith.com) they are now kicking things into high gear with their 8 – 13 piece (depending on the occasion) high energy funk band. Influences range from the Talking Heads to James Brown – P-Funk to Jamiroquai – creating a show which is an eclectic mix of funk influences and sounds from all over the board. When the group takes their party to the stage it certainly is a spectacle to be remembered.</p>

OCCUPY OAKLAND! OCCUPY WALL STREET!!!
Oakland City Attorney Resigns! FORCED OUT!!! Can't Dodge Fraud, Corruption Charges!

    The Occupy Movement that has swept America and the world, had it's Occupy Oakland beginnings with the revelation of irrefutable evidence of the mass fraud and corruption of the Oakland City Attorney, Oakland Police Department, Alameda County District Attorney, Alameda County Superior Court, California State Appeals Court and California Supreme Court in an action to deny justice and cover up that denial of justice in the 20 year case of Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim vs CSAA, Rescue, et al.

    The unrest caused by the exposure of the criminal actions of these law enforcement, legal and judicial individuals/bodies in this matter implored others to investigate the ongoing case revealing even more rampant corruption that has dramatically portrayed the sullied, sordid underbelly culture of corruption that Oakland and Alameda County has long been known for! This pattern continued even through the Oscar Grant murder debacle but lead to the people of the Oakland East Bay Area and beyond, standing up to that corruption and saying "NO MORE!!!".

    The cry at ALL the Occupy events world-wide are echoing the frustration felt by the people of the East Bay Area, "We are ALL Oscar Grant!!" and most are reacting in solidarity and union with those whom have voiced their opinions with their frustrations in a varied manner of ways. The world witnessed as Oakland revolted and burned with the that cry and now the whole world is chanting the same tune and following Oakland lead as it did in the 1960-70's re-evolution!

    The Minority and Occupy Communities ( #occupyoakland #OWS) are evaluating the elected officials, want-to-be-leaders, clergy and so-called power brokers that do not represent their interest, yet claim to bargain and speak for them! How can these self-perceived "influence peddlers" bargain away the rights and interests of people they do not talk to, know nor represent?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nowtruth.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8157163&amp;post=913&amp;subd=nowtruth&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

<p><span class="popup_span">One of the nation&#8217;s greatest young performers and writers performing live at the legendary Yoshi&#8217;s Jazz Club. Paying homage and adding his twist to the classic and powerful music of Fela Kuti, Nina Simone, Gil Scott Heron, Tupac Shakur, and Billie Holiday.</span></p>
<p>&#8220;Essentially, these five artist best represent the core of my artistic inspiration and embody a standard of both content and    skill that I am always aspiring for. I&#8217;m excited to be performing back in myhometown at such a great venue to honor these giants.&#8221;<br />
- <strong>Ise Lyfe </strong></p>
<p>Recently appointed Commissioner of Arts and Cultural Affairs in his hometown of Oakland, CA, Ise Lyfe is one of the nation’s premier Spoken Word Artist and Emcee’s. His 2006 debut album, ”spreadtheWord” allowed him to mettle with a national audience, and the release of his second LP, “Prince Cometh” received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Unaffected by the sophomore jinx theory, it’s safe to say the response across the board was nearly 100% positive…</p>
<p>Ise first gained national recognition competing in national poetry slam competitions in his late teens. In 2001 he won the National Poetry Slam Competition, skyrocketing his popularity amongst the ever growing Spoken Word/Hip-Hop Theatre audience.  He has been featured on Russell Simmons&#8217; Def Poetry Jam on HBO. He has also shared the stage with Gil Scott-Heron, Dave Chappelle, Lauryn Hill, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, E-40, Harry Belafonte, Mos Def, Malcolm Jamaal Werner, KRS-One, Martin Luther, Saul Williams, Ben Harper, Erykah Badu, Zion I, and The Coup to name a few.</p>
<p>However, Ise Lyfe is simply different than anyone else in his genre or league of peers. Period.</p>
<p>Just in his twenties with nearly ten years of national and international stage performing and recording experience, he transcends the common narrative on and off stage. An award winning poet, emcee, performer, and educator, this young man is sure to be the impact we all speak of wanting, but rarely see realized&#8230;.</p>

<p>Five-time GRAMMY-nominated composer and pianist Omar Sosa returns to Yoshi’s Oakland with his regular rhythm section of Childo Tomas from Mozambique on electric bass, and Marque Gilmore, now from Stockholm, on drums and electronics, plus special guest saxophone and flute player from Cuba, Leandro Saint-Hill.  Leandro was part of the groundbreaking recording sessions at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City in 2008 that resulted in two GRAMMY nominations for Omar’s genre-bending CD release, Across The Divide.</p>
<p>At Yoshi’s Oakland, Omar will be featuring new material from his current recording-in-progress, entitled Afri-Lectric.  This CD project is loosely inspired by the music of Miles Davis’ Kind Of Blue recording, and evolved from a commission Omar received from the Barcelona Jazz Festival to prepare a tribute to the famous CD on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you interested in growing your business? We are offering a FREE Business analysis and will discuss your needs for an overall Strategic Plan including a Website upgrade with a national media campaign, after you have completed the Strategic Planning Client Questionnaire on our website and schedule a meeting to contract our services and move forward to SUCCESS!
We can mount a media campaign for you with events and advantages your business offers to potential clients as the centerpiece of that effort. This could not only provide exposure and build your new brand, but could also build your business development with corporate sponsors, business partners, non-profit organizations and donors.
You could be your own special BRAND within and without the business campaign! This will not detract from the business campaign in any way and inevitably lead to other business opportunities, and a very effective social position that will allow you to achieve more business goals!
We will be integrally involved in creating the campaign concept with you as both a separate branded entity and the business brand. We would develop them within the overall brand platform and defining a tangible brand experience across the myriad offerings of the business services and social activities. Our work will touch on all aspects of the business as a brand, and the brand's physical presentation; client offerings; programs; events; promotions; Web site; marketing; advertising; publicist; social media managements; sponsorship vehicles; and creation of "your business Community" through multi-channel strategies for both traditional and new media to engender an engaging, interactive and sustainable customer experience.
We will to develop and create expedient, viable, replicable solutions to optimize your bottom line, raise your public profile and social perception while increasing the satisfaction quotient for your customers.
From the great success that we have had with our Free Food Programs established in the 1950's by my Parents, Aaron and Margaret Wallace, we have since been instrumental in the founding and supplying of other free food service organizations around the country.
With the demand for our help in creating these organizations being driven by the skyrocketing need for the services, we have decided to open up our efforts to all interested in starting a food pantry for the needy.
We can provide access to the training necessary to qualify your organization and partner you with the local organizations and businesses that can support your efforts. Contact us and we will help you through the RED TAPE and push your program to success!
We were honored in Miami, Florida and Port Au Prince, Haiti last month for the Relief Missions that we have sent to Haiti since the earthquake and are currently up for an EMMY with "OUT. The Glenn Burke Story", have already won several honors for it and expect more.
Special "Thanks" to all that have supported our efforts over the years!

<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s not without some measure of fear and trepidation that gospel music puts checks and balances on reverse crossover artists. After all, for every general-market hopeful with pure, Christ-honoring motives, there’s always a controversial artist—good-intentioned, but ultimately far from the integrity, character, and value system required to represent Jesus to the church and to the world.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;">Four-time GRAMMY®-winning R&amp;B/Pop songstress Regina Belle is a different story. Even as the New Jersey native rode high in the urban charts throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s with such urban classics as <em>“Baby Come to Me,” “Make It Like It Was”</em> and <em>“What Goes Around,”</em> faith, churchgoing, and gospel music remained at the very core of her life in the spotlight.<br />

<p>Five-time GRAMMY-nominated composer and pianist Omar Sosa returns to Yoshi’s Oakland with his regular rhythm section of Childo Tomas from Mozambique on electric bass, and Marque Gilmore, now from Stockholm, on drums and electronics, plus special guest saxophone and flute player from Cuba, Leandro Saint-Hill.  Leandro was part of the groundbreaking recording sessions at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City in 2008 that resulted in two GRAMMY nominations for Omar’s genre-bending CD release, Across The Divide.</p>
<p>At Yoshi’s Oakland, Omar will be featuring new material from his current recording-in-progress, entitled Afri-Lectric.  This CD project is loosely inspired by the music of Miles Davis’ Kind Of Blue recording, and evolved from a commission Omar received from the Barcelona Jazz Festival to prepare a tribute to the famous CD on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;text-decoration:underline;">Branford Marsalis</span></span></strong></p>
<p>NEA Jazz Master, renowned Grammy Award®-winning saxophonist and Tony Award® nominee composer Branford Marsalis is one of the most revered instrumentalists of his time. The three-time Grammy Award® winner has continued to exercise and expand his skills as an instrumentalist, a composer, and the head of Marsalis Music, the label he founded in 2002 that has allowed him to produce both his own projects and those of the jazz world’s most promising new and established artists.</p>
<p>Marsalis made his Broadway debut as the composer of original music for the Tony Award® winning Broadway revival of August Wilson’s play “Fences”. Marsalis received a Tony nomination in the category of “Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre” and a 2010 Drama Desk Award® for “Outstanding Music in a Play” for his participation.</p>
<p>Leader of one of the finest jazz Quartets today, and a frequent soloist with classical ensembles, Branford has become increasingly sought after as a featured soloist with such acclaimed orchestras as the Chicago, Detroit, Düsseldorf, and North Carolina Symphonies and the Boston Pops, with a growing repertoire that includes compositions by Copland, Debussy, Glazunov, Ibert, Mahler, Milhaud, Rorem and Vaughn Williams. His propensity for innovative and forward-thinking compels him to seek new and challenging works by modern classical composers such as modern Scottish composer Sally Beamish who, after hearing Branford perform her composition “The Imagined Sound of Sun on Stone” at the 2006 North Sea Jazz Festival, was inspired to re-conceive a piece in progress, “Under the Wing of the Rock,” which he premiered as part of the Celtic Connections festival Beamish’s home country of Scotland in January 2009.</p>
<p>Making his first appearance with the New York Philharmonic in the summer of 2010, Marsalis was again invited to join them as soloist in their 2010-2011 concert series where he unequivocally demonstrated his versatility and prowess, bringing “a gracious poise and supple tone… and an insouciant swagger” (New York Times) to the repertoire.</p>
<p>In 2011, the National Endowment for the Arts conferred the prestigious Jazz Masters Fellowship on the Marsalis Family, a celebration and acknowledgement of a family described by the New York Times as “jazz’s most storied living dynasty”, who have made an indelible mark, collectively and individually, on the history and the future of jazz, America’s art form.</p>
<p>Songs of Mirth and Melancholy</p>
<p>On Songs, the mutual admiration between Marsalis and Calderazzo is expressed through music that is the result of close listening, cooperation, and continuous adjustment to one another’s musical ideas. Branford says,“The duo is more like classical chamber music. You have to listen to each other or it doesn’t work.” Joey adds that they challenge each other to step up their playing; “I put myself out there now, painting myself into corners to see if I can figure out the puzzle.” The musicians both treat the duo performance as an opportunity for something completely unique from their performances together in the Branford Marsalis Quartet.“… the object is not to play in the same way that you play in other situations. You have to change the conversation as well as the setting. Once you know the form, you can just react to each other, which you can’t do when a group gets larger.”</p>
<p>Songs includes three original compositions from Marsalis, four from Calderazzo, a cover of a Wayne Shorter’s “Face on the Barroom Floor,” and Brahms’s “Die Trauernde,” which Marsalis identifies as “the inspiration for how we approach everything as a duo.” Marsalis and Calderazzo recorded Songsclose to home at Durham, North Carolina’s Hayti Center. Marsalis describes the room as having qualities that “studios and concert halls pay millions to achieve. The sound is incredibly intimate,and very naked.”</p>
<p>The same could be said of the sounds that Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo have brought forth on Songs of Mirth and Melancholy. Neighbors, golf buddies,teaching colleagues, longtime band members and friends, Marsalis and Calderazzo share with their listeners a passionate and profound duo collection.</p>
<p>Whether on the stage, in the recording studio, in the classroom or in the community, Branford Marsalis embodies a commitment to musical excellence and a determination to keep music at the forefront.</p>

<p>Few young singers from the nascent&#8221; new school&#8221; of conscious soul possess the grace, maturity, strength and determination of amel larrieux, whose epic solo debut infinite possibilities places her in a musical niche all her own.</p>
<p>Drawing on a wealth of influences from jazz, hip-hop, gospel and funky r&amp;b, and with flashes of middle eastern, west african and indian ethnic styles, amel has crafted a veritable concept album that explores an endless range of promise and potential&#8230;lyrically, musically and personally. reflecting the title she chose, infinite possibilities symbolizes a challenge, not only to herself but to the self-limiting and thus incomplete definition of what is commercially identified as black music and art today.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not worried about labels,&#8221; amel says when asked about the term &#8220;progressive r&amp;b,&#8221; which has been applied to many of today&#8217;s artists. &#8220;some folks need them for clarity. but the definition of &#8216;black music&#8217; should be looked at. if everyone knew how many kinds of music could technically fall under this category, its use would be more justifiable. but most people just don&#8217;t know.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s really disturbing is that many artists are making forms of black music blues, rock &amp; roll, jazz, soul, but for some reason their music is not categorized as &#8216;black music.&#8217; so i wonder, does your skin color determine what category you&#8217;re in? in the end, it doesn&#8217;t really matter what anyone calls it. label it, that&#8217;s fine&#8211;i just keep makin&#8217; &#8216;amel&#8217;s music.&#8217;&#8221; Watch her video &#8220;For Real&#8221; on YouTube here.<br />

<p>&#8220;Z-Trip is the original Girltalk; only better. The best (DJ) show ever&#8221; Spin Magazine</p>
<p>Z-Trip is not just a DJ. He is more than a producer. He is a musical pioneer. And sits at the helm of the highest echelon of DJ royalty. As a performer, Z-Trip is revered as one of the best live performance DJs in history, by both fans and peers. Its no surprise fans voted him Americas Best D in 2009, beating out over 100 other DJs in DJ Times highly acclaimed annual readers poll. His worldwide sold out shows continue to set attendance records while drawing critical praise. One of the great musical moments from Coachella (2002) was the frenzied set by turntable wizard Z-Trip. He had fans howling and bobbing, closing his set with a surprise appearance by Beck, wrote the Los Angles Times. Its a fact that many call him the godfather of mash-ups, as he is one of the originators of the genre.</p>
<p>His lengthy career has seen him crisscross the globe numerous times, chalking up rave reviews along the way. He returned to Coachella 2010, for his fourth appearance at the festival headlining the Sahara Tent, where the OC Register noted: Even against two of the biggest draws on the schedule, Z-Trip raked em in, filling the Sahara with over 15,000 revelers. His 2009 Detroit Electronic Music Festival performance to over 10,000 stole the festival receiving the lions share of press: &#8220;Z-Trip lit up Saturday night, first by jamming with RJD2 then following with a Detroit-saluting mash-up set, beamed Billboard.</p>
<p>At the vanguard of dance music culture, he is at the heart of the DJ Hero video game series. Appearing as an avatar and providing several scorching remixes, Z-Trips relentless vision even defied the advanced technology. An 8-bar scratch that he wanted to incorporate into the game was too much for the games memory to handle. Beyond being immortalized as a playable character and his contribution of three exclusive tracks to the first installment, he remained a consultant, as well as executive producer, for DJ Hero 2 and created an additional two tracks.</p>
<p>Worldwide sold out shows would be enough for most artists, but not Z-Trip. His career brims with myriad milestones, starting from the now legendary mixtape, Uneasy Listening, which the Phoenix, AZ native put together with Missouris notorious DJ P. Back in 2001, the idea of pitting classic rock tracks against hip-hop into a seamless mix that could find the Pharcyde rapping over the Eagles or Metallica grinding it out under the righteous bark of Midnight Oil was unheard of. But instead of hating it as expected, enraptured fans disseminated the initial run of only 1000 CDs across the internet. By years end, Uneasy Listening had made Z-Trip a burgeoning DJ star. It went on to receive critical acclaim and helped propel Z-Trip to national attention in 2002. It made album of the year lists in Spin, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Wired and XLR8R. More importantly, it also inadvertently created an entirely new genre of music.<br />
Then, on top of being a world-class DJ, Z-Trip established himself as a formidable producer and his major label debut in 2005, Shifting Gears, was given 4 stars by Rolling Stone, and featured appearances from many of Z-Trip&#8217;s friends: Chuck D, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Murs and Soup of Jurassic 5. It spawned numerous Top 10 singles in the US and abroad.</p>
<p>A lifelong political activist, Z-Trip was a strong supporter of the Barak Obamas successful campaign to become the President of the United States and released Party For Change and Victory Lap in 2009. Both exceeded 500,000 downloads and favorably reviewed by Wired, Urb, BPM, and XLR8R to name a few. Z-Trip&#8217;s longtime friend and collaborator Shepard Fairey supplied the art.</p>
<p>After 14 months of sold-out shows at his Friday night headlining residency at Rain inside The Palms, Las Vegas, Z-Trip is taking a rest from his crowd-thrilling stint, Z-Trips Revolution. Upon displaying his genre bending skills and sharing his stage with many A-level guests including Three 6 Mafia, Common, Rev Run, Too Short, and De La Soul, Z-Trip is taking a rest from stage to focus on his next chapter of recorded music.</p>

<p>Glenn Burke’s journey through baseball began and ended in Oakland, California. His sports career had many stops along the way, starting as a multi-sport star at Berkeley High School, followed by a brief stint at the University of Nevada, Reno as a prized basketball recruit, and then moving into professional baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers, being hailed by one coach as “the next Willie Mays.”</p>
<p>Early in his career, Burke felt he had to hide his true self from his teammates.  Later, when he began to reveal glimpses into his sexuality the baseball establishment began to close him out.  Out. The Glenn Burke Story, a one-hour documentary produced by Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, tells the dramatic tale of Burke’s legacy as the first openly homosexual Major League Baseball player.  From his Major League debut in 1976 and starting Game One of the 1977 World Series for the Dodgers to subsequently being traded to the Oakland Athletics the next season, and then walking away in 1980 from the game that he deeply loved, Comcast SportsNet follows one of baseball’s most dramatic arcs.</p>
<p>Many of Burke’s teammates were aware of his homosexuality during his playing career, as were members of management. And many of those teammates believe that his sexuality – and the reaction it provoked – led to the premature derailment of his baseball career.</p>
<p>Out. The Glenn Burke Story tells the tumultuous story of the wedge that was driven between Burke and the Los Angeles management, the ensuing similar situation in Oakland that led to Burke’s abrupt retirement, and the hero’s welcome that Burke received in San Francisco’s Castro District after he left professional baseball.</p>
<p>Comcast SportsNet’s narrative follows Burke through his public announcement of his homosexuality in a 1982 Inside Sports magazine article (‘The Double Life of a Gay Dodger’) and on The Today Show with Bryant Gumbel, to his subsequent downward spiral to drugs, prison, and eventually living on the same San Francisco streets where he was once hailed as an icon.</p>
<p>Burke’s story took on another level of tragedy when he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1994.  Yet at the end of his life, the game that he claimed abandoned him so many years before reached out to one of its own. The A’s found Burke and provided him with constant support in his final months, as did some of his former teammates.</p>
<p>Glenn Burke passed away on May 30, 1995 at the age of 42 of AIDS-related complications.</p>
<p>Out. The Glenn Burke Story documents the extent of Burke&#8217;s courage, strife and friendship throughout his life, and the compassion and callousness of the sport of baseball.  The program weaves together insights from Burke&#8217;s teammates and friends, including Dusty Baker, Davey Lopes, Sports Agent Abdul-Jalil, Reggie Smith, Rick Monday, Manny Mota, Rickey Henderson, Claudell Washington, Mike Norris, Shooty Babitt, Tito Fuentes, and former Major Leaguer and gay rights activist Billy Bean. Out. The Glenn Burke Story Narrated by Dave Morey, Bay Area Broadcasting Icon and Member of the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame&#8217;s Class of 2010</p>
<p>I have attached the links to a short video documentary about a radio conversation, the live radio broadcasts on November 20, 2010 over ABC Networks&#8217; KGO 810 FM Radio Show and on December 4, 2010 over KNBR- The Sports Leader, 680 AM and ESPN Radio &#8220;The Ticket&#8221; 1050 AM, of the discussion of the film &#8220;OUT. The Glenn Burke Story&#8221; The ABC- KGO Radio broadcast was with Shooty Babbitt, John Lambert and myself. The KNBR show was with Doug Harris, the producer of &#8220;Out. The Glenn Burke Story&#8221; on the show &#8220;Law and Sports&#8221; with host attorney Ivan Golde, whose also a legal analyst for CNN, Warner Bros- KRON, and CBS-KPIX, among others.<br />
The on-air discussions were about Glenn, the film, society and sports. I think you will be very moved with the overall content and how Glenn&#8217;s impact has becoming a serious topic of discussion around the country. Glenn lives on!!!<br />

<div align="center"><strong>REVIEWS ON &#8220;OUT. THE GLENN BURKE STORY&#8221;</strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Pop Matters.com – </span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">‘Out. The Glenn Burke Story’: That Macho Thing</span></span></strong><strong></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">By <a href="http://www.popmatters.com/pm/archive/contributor/72" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;padding:0;">Cynthia Fuchs</span></span></a>, PopMatters Film and TV Editor, December 1, 2010</span></span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;"> </span></span></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">“You were concerned of being stereotyped or typecast, that to know him must mean that you’re one. So you kept your distance.” A former Dodgers outfielder and coach, Reggie Smith remembers Glenn Burke as a player and friend. But still, he “kept his distance,” as Smith puts it, because Burke was out. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Smith’s concern was typical during the 1970s, when Burke played for the Dodgers, a time recounted in <em>Out. The Glenn Burke Story</em>. The documentary, produced by Doug Harris and Sean Madison, re-airs 1 December on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, and is available as well on DirecTV’s sports pack channel 696 and Dish Network’s multi-sports package channel 419. It tells a story that is remarkable for a number of reasons, not least being Burke’s courage and determination: to this day, he remains the only Major League Baseball player to come out during his professional career. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">The only one. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><em><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Out</span></span></em><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> makes clear that Burke’s decision to come out was costly: as teammates struggled with their own feelings (Smith: “At that time, we were a little homophobic about people that were gay”), management was less ambivalent. The Dodgers dealt him to the As in 1977, where manager Billy Martin notoriously called him a “faggot” in front of his teammates. That same year, the A’s sent him down to the minors. Burke retired then, at age 27, despite good stats and an unfinished career. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">As the film remembers, Burke didn’t talk about the trade or his retirement until 1982, in an interview with <em>Inside Sports</em> magazine (“The Double Life of a Gay Dodger”) and then an interview with Bryant Gumble on <em>Today</em>. The film includes a clip, with Gumble asking, “Were you traded from the Dodgers to the A’s because you were gay?” Burke shifts in his seat, tries not to answer, and then, prodded again (“What do you think?”), he nods, “Yeah.” </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><em><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Out</span></span></em><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> is compelling not only because of Burke’s story, but also because it is still such a difficult story to tell. The images of Burke, once a basketball and baseball star at Berkeley High School, are culled from archival game footage and stills (as well as headlines and baseball cards), and the narrative is structured mostly through new interviews with former teammates, associates, and Burke’s sisters. Repeatedly, the film offers nearly abstract shots of fences, the camera panning low or peering through chain-link obstructions. Sometimes the fences show blurred traffic behind them, sometimes road signs or baseball facilities, and sometimes they’re adorned with a photo of Burke, flapping in a breeze. Always, the fences serve as poignant, ominous emblems of his experience, ever outside. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">The scanty information on his post-MLB life isn’t helped by the fact that Burke <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/18/sports/boy-summer-s-long-chilly-winter-once-promising-ballplayer-glenn-burke-dying-aids.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;padding:0;">died of AIDS at 42</span></span></a>, following a broken leg (when he was hit by a car in the Castro), drug use, jail time, and homelessness. And, if the film doesn’t narrate the point specifically, it does reveal in interviews the raced split in his life: the majority of his MLB teammates here are black, while his post-professional associates, say, softball teammates he met in San Francisco, are white. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">The film’s visual structure—rudimentary, sometimes awkward—is likely dictated by a lack of available images. But it also makes a compelling point regarding the agonizing, persistent invisibility of gay athletes in the MLB (and the <a href="http://www.asylum.com/2010/01/08/nfl-playoffs-football-first-openly-gay-nfl-player/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;padding:0;">NFL</span></span></a> and the <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dailydime_070210-11" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;padding:0;">NBA</span></span></a>: in each professional league, players only come out after they’ve retired). How is it, the film asks implicitly, that homophobia can remain so standard in 2010? </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Explanations are familiar. In the ‘70s, Oakland A’s right fielder Claudell Washington says, “Being ballplayers, we all had that macho thing going on.” Dusty Baker notes that he considered Burke a friend, but recalls, “Some of the guys on the team, especially some of the Latin guys, would act funny in the shower.” Pondering Burke’s fate in 1977, Davy Lopes observes, “If everybody knows the story, I think, there were other reasons why he was traded.” Smith adds, “I certainly didn’t want to accuse him of that, because one thing’s for sure, at that time period, it was a kiss of death for a ballplayer. He would’ve been excused from the game, so to say.” </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">So to say. Such lack of language shapes <em>Out</em>. Interview subjects share stories of their suspicions or their sympathies, mostly by innuendo: Washington remembers, “Glenn had some guys picking him up in pink Cadillacs” and Oakland Athletics infielder Shooty Babitt reports, “He had a red jock.” Smith says he wondered when he heard Burke “cooing” on a phone call with a man (“I didn’t know if this person had put a woman on the phone, I didn’t know what was going on”). Not everyone is so elusive. Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim remembers a story Burke told in his autobiography, <em>Out at Home: The Glenn Burke Story</em>, when Dodgers management offered him $75,000 to get married. The story is that Burke responded with a question: “I guess you mean to a woman.” Jalil adds, “Glenn took exception to that, refused to do it, and openly dated Tommy Lasorda’s son.”  </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">It’s a funny story, and telling. As the film goes on to underscore Lasorda’s terrible homophobia (he insisted even after his son Spunky’s death that he was not gay), it also marks this moment of resistance as a point of no return for Burke. He lost his job and a certain, important sense of achievement, even as he found another sort of community in San Francisco. Billy Bean, an MLB player who came out after he retired, in 1999 (and is the only other player to be out at all), notes the fear that defines “male team sports.” He also makes clear the price Burke paid. “The closet hurts people forever,” Bean says now. Being forced to leave the game “because you don’t feel like you belong there when you’ve proven that you do, is damaging. And it affects everything.” </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">As U.S. official bodies rethink <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/dont-ask-dont-tell" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;padding:0;">Don’t Ask Don’t Tell</span></span></a> and <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/2010/01/08/the-conservative-case-for-gay-marriage.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;padding:0;">gay marriage</span></span></a>, individual bodies, bodies living real lives, are still feeling the effects of oppression, prejudice, and fear. Glenn Burke’s story helps to expose those effects.</span></span></p>

<div><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">AOL Fan House – </span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Glenn Burke, First Openly Gay MLB Player, Well-Portrayed in Documentary</span></span></strong><strong></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">By <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/staff/milton-kent/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">Milton Kent</span></span></a>, National Reporter, December 1, 2010</span></span></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">The professional life of a general manager of a regional sports channel is likely a quiet one, bordering on being nondescript. Basically, you welcome in programming that is already made available to you through corporate means, like games or infomercials or syndicated shows. Or you hire reporters and producers to air about three or so hours of daily news. Nothing exciting to see or do there.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> And then, there are execs like Ted Griggs, the vice president and general manager of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. Griggs, who runs the San Francisco Bay Area channel, gave the green light to a superb documentary, &#8220;Out: The Glenn Burke Story,&#8221; that airs on the channel Thursday at midnight ET (or 9 p.m. Wednesday PT).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> &#8220;Out&#8221; chronicles the life of Burke, who played for the <a href="http://mlb.fanhouse.com/team/dodgers" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">Dodgers</span></span></a> and the A&#8217;s in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Burke is presumed to be the first openly gay Major League Baseball player, and the hour-long film deals with Burke&#8217;s struggles in aching and painstaking detail, with haunting interviews from noted former teammates like Dusty Baker, Reggie Smith, Davey Lopes and Claudell Washington. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> Filmmakers Doug Harris and Sean Maddison, both Bay Area natives, brilliantly use the words of Burke&#8217;s friends and family, as well as snippets of interviews with Burke conducted a year before his 1995 death of complications from AIDS, to tell his story. Included in the piece is a segment of his groundbreaking talk with then-Today Show anchor Bryant Gumbel, who interviewed the outfielder after Burke revealed his status in a 1982 story in the now-defunct <em><em><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Inside Sports</span></span></em></em> magazine.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> To the lasting credit of Griggs, Harris and Maddison, Burke is portrayed sympathetically, but not as a martyr; a subtle distinction, to be sure, but an important one, and one that raises &#8220;Out&#8221; from the status of a talking-head movie to an Emmy-quality film worthy of national distribution on Comcast&#8217;s outlets. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"> As it is, viewers outside Northern California can find Comcast SportsNet Bay Area on Direct TV at channel 696 and on Dish Network at channel 419.

<p><big><strong>Excerpts from Out. The Glenn Burke Story:</strong></big></p>
<p>Abdul-Jalil al-Hakim (Childhood friend and sports agent):<br />
On Burke’s homosexuality and the homophobia in Major League Baseball:  “It was uncompromising on both ends.  Glenn was comfortable with who he was. Baseball was not comfortable with who he was.”</p>
<p>Claudell Washington:<br />
On Oakland Athletics manager Billy Martin introducing Burke to his new teammates in spring training:  “He was introducing all the players and then he got to Glenn and said, ‘Oh, by the way, this is Glenn Burke and he’s a faggot.’”</p>
<p>Davey Lopes:<br />
On Burke’s trade to the A’s:  “You don’t break up, disrupt a team going as well as it was going to make changes.  I didn’t feel it was going to make us a better ball club.  Billy North was not going to make us, at that time, any better of a ballclub.  Probably not the real reason why things happened.”</p>
<p>Dusty Baker:<br />
On the rumors of Burke’s sexual preference and his trade to the A’s:  “I think the Dodgers knew; I think that’s why they traded Glenn.”</p>
<p>Reggie Smith:<br />
On the suspicions on Burke’s sexuality:  “I certainly didn’t want to accuse him of that, because one thing’s for sure &#8211; at that time period, it was a kiss of death for a ballplayer.  He would’ve been excused from the game, so to say.”</p>

On Dodger management and their suspicions:  “Al Campanis and Walter O’Malley had called him into the office and offered him $75,000 to get married.  And Glenn, being his comic self, said, ‘I guess you mean to a woman?’”</p>
<p>On the Dodgers’ controversial trade of Burke to the A’s:  “He was hurt because they traded him not for his baseball ability but for his life choice.”</p>
<p>Lyle Spencer (MLB.com, former Los Angeles Dodgers beat writer):<br />
On the reaction of Burke’s teammates the day he was traded:  “I was shocked that he was traded&#8230; I walked into the clubhouse…and guys were visibly distraught over the trade, and that told me that my sense of how important he was to them internally was accurate.  I even remember a few players crying when they found out about it at their lockers, which is stunning.”</p>

<p>Herein below is a YouTube video from the Santa Fe Elementary School&#8217;s Peace March that was done for <span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">the <a href="http://amwftrust.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aaron &amp; Margaret Wallace Foundation</a></span></span></span>that you can take a look at in it&#8217;s rough form. We want to do several of these for the sponsors, including SemiFreddis, Trader Joe&#8217;s, Little Caesar&#8217;s Pizza, among others.</p>
<p>The day long program began at 9:00 am with a free community breakfast. After breakfast there was a rally, then a march through the neighborhood culminating in a gathering at the school. There were corporate, food and vendor booths with lots of fun things for the children and adults alike at the school yard. The event had the support of <span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">Santa Fe Elementary Alumnus, </span></span></span><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">ALL-Americans, NFL All-Pro, NBA World Champions, North Oakland residents, Oakland Tech High School and U. C. Berkeley classmates Marshawn Lynch, Leon Powe</span></span></span><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;"> and</span></span></span> <span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">Josh Johnson.</span></span></span></p>
<p>We have some very exciting, great footage with sponsors&#8217; banners proudly and prominently displayed as there was local media coverage throughout the day and a television crew that filmed the entire event for a special broadcast! The real value here is there are PRICELESS shots of the kids walking, running and playing while eating sponsors food, bread and pastries!!! There are several public &#8220;Thank You&#8217;s&#8221; announced during the celebration as well.</p>
<p>We also have more footage taken from other community events that we were involved with that display sponsor banners as well. We did Marshawn Lynch&#8217;s &#8220;Fam1ly F1rst&#8221; Football Camp July 9, 2011 and will do Leon Powe&#8217;s &#8220;Fresh Start Oakland&#8217;s Powe Folk&#8217;s Basketball Camp&#8221; <span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">August 19-21, 2011 at Merritt College in Oakland. </span></span></span><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">Both these two day camps which hosts over 600 youth, are an integral part of a continuing effort to reach and offer alternatives to the under served youth of color in the Oakland- Northern California region to combat some of the maladies that afflict and compromise these youth. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">    As an example of this need, the North Oakland Gang Injunction that was recently passed at the behest of ousted former Oakland City Attorney John Russo is a &#8220;civil&#8221; lawsuit that imposes criminal restrictions on uncharged, unnamed, unknown youth of color whom only alleged &#8220;future&#8221; crime would be that they live in a certain area of Oakland. If this gang injunction were in place when Marshawn, Leon and Josh were kids, they would be classified as &#8220;Gang Members&#8221; today just because they live in a certain neighborhood and &#8220;know&#8221; each other. This &#8220;criminal activity&#8221; of living in a certain area is intolerable.</span></span></span></p>
<p>All this establishes a corporate presence in the community that evolves organically and spontaneously, that they could not buy! This is a great PR opportunity that they really considered in their Corporate Community Service and Marketing/Promotional efforts. We utilize these banners at other events we support to put something together special for them that will knock their socks off, that will be national in scope and penetration. They will have to approve the use of anything that capture the corporate banners in or create from using the images.</p>
<p>Please give us your opinion.<br />

<p><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">    These camps are an integral part of a continuing effort to reach and offer alternatives to the under served youth of color in the Oakland- Northern California region to combat some of the maladies that afflict and compromise these youth.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">    Next is a brief note about the North Oakland Gang Injunction that was recently passed at the behest of ousted former Oakland City Attorney John Russo. This &#8220;civil&#8221; lawsuit imposes criminal restrictions on uncharged, unnamed, unknown youth of color whom only alleged &#8220;future&#8221; crime would be that they live in a certain area of Oakland. If this gang injunction were in place when Marshawn, Leon and Josh were kids, they would be classified as &#8220;Gang Members&#8221; today just because they live in a certain neighborhood and &#8220;know&#8221; each other. This &#8220;criminal activity&#8221; of living in a certain area is intolerable.<br />

<p><em><strong>A&amp;MWF Founder </strong></em><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;"><em><strong>al-Hakim, Marshawn Lynch and Leon Powe to Help Poor, Under Served Youth</strong></em></span></span></span></p>
<p>The recent Oakland Gang Injunction passed because City Attorney John Russo had the support of the ACLU whom has mobilized organizers to support, not fight it, to the peril of this North Oakland Community!</p>
<p>It has been established through research that this is nothing but another tool for developers to continue exercising gentrification of the Black Community unopposed because of the apathy and lack of leadership in defending the rights of the uncharged and unknown youth! Where is the National Action Network, NAACP, CORE, Rainbow Coalition, or any other national group that alleges to stand for Civil Rights when these youth are being trapped and &#8220;Okey Doaked&#8221; by the defenders of the public trust?</p>
<p>Every defendant &#8220;served&#8221;, and I use that term without any credibility under the legal process, with the unconstitutional injunction that has an attorney has been dropped from the matter! But those that were unrepresented were &#8220;convicted&#8221; in a civil proceeding with criminal implications because they do not have legal representation provided as in a criminal matter! If just one defaults, the system will entrap the rest of the youth population for ever.</p>
<p>Conveniently these liberal civil rights organizations will not represent theses people while filing an Amicus Brief yet venturing into the community with liberal organizers that will benefit from the demise of the youth punished by the injunction to advocate and pre-sell it&#8217;s inevitability and lobby for it&#8217;s acceptance as a needed measure to fight crime.</p>
<p>Forget about the &#8220;double jeopardy&#8221; that these youth face in a civil/criminal legal web cast by a deposed City Attorney whom has fabricated and planted that fabricated evidence in a case file, gave the case file to the defendants for nearly a year, and gave the case file to a judge for trial without notifying the court!</p>
<p><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">    </span></span></span>A&amp;MWF founder Abdul-Jalil <span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="color:#330000;">al-Hakim has mobilized attorney&#8217;s to represent poor, under served youth and secured ALL-Americans, NFL All-Pro, NBA World Champions, North Oakland residents, Santa Fe Elementary, Oakland Tech High School and U. C. Berkeley classmates Marshawn Lynch and Leon Powe along with several native Oakland celebrities to join national celebrities in this fight! Through the collaboration of the individuals, Powe&#8217;s &#8220;Fresh Start Oakland&#8221; August 19-21, 2011 at Merritt College in Oakland, Lynch&#8217;s &#8220;Fam1ly F1rst&#8221; July 7-10, 2011 at Oakland Tech High School, the <a href="http://amwftrust.org">Aaron &amp; Margaret Wallace Foundation</a>, and others, we will provide the much needed alternatives to these profiled youth to succeed in life and not be eliminated from it because some developers want their families property and them out the neighborhood.</span></span></span></p>
