This is the poetry the lunatic, murderous, hypocrite right wing is bitching about.

The other day the rapper Common was invited to a poetry reading at the White House. Like most rappers with any cred at all, Common raps about things that make him, as well as anyone with a brain and a heart, angry. Apparently that's more than the right wing, and especially Bill O'Reilly can handle. In some of Common's poetry he talks about using a gun to make the cops run, and it has the pigs in a tizzy. In their opinions anything that comes into the Whit House should be censored thoroughly, therefore Common should have never let anyone into the White House.
I hereby challenge my reader(s) to find how many ways this is completely hypocritical, because, first off, they have automatically insinuated that killing Muslims is okay to talk/sing about, but not cops. That's bad. All the country music hillrods that had their own revolving door in and out of the Bush stolen White House were a bunch of racist inbred morons. How was that okay?
I think we all know that it wasn't, that is, it wasn't okay IF what Common's poetry said was not okay. Censorship sucks no matter what house it's in.

Sometimes, you just gotta chill, baby. Langston Hughes makes it easy.

I've never posted music on this blog before, but there's a first time for everything. I knew that it would just be a matter of time before I did, because sometimes we forget the old cliche that rather than simply hearing music, we need to listen to it. We need to feel what the musician feels and to take in the author's message. If you take the time to listen to any blues at all this year, listen to Langston.
