Inspired to listen to #Soundgarden’s ‘#SuperUnknown’ on a short fall day.
Both 90’s Peers STP,& Alice In Chains chose to cont’ on with a Replacement Front Man.
Props to Kim, Ben,& Matt Cameron in saying Chris Cornell’s irreplaceable.

Have few limitations of what I listen to-Black Music is the backbone, extrapolating that Soulfulness to other genres.
But in the Gym, Rock/Metal is the go to.
Discovering #ChadGray’s Brilliance late.
#Mudvayne’s L.D. 50, ‘The End of..’, #HellYeah, guy deserves his flowers.

Homer's #Illiad, although the gods choose to allow these Armies to go to war, they decide not to intervene. But w/ the adaptation of #Troy, We should've at least seen them.
Nolan's #TheOdessey? without the Greek's arcing mythos, these narratives are made to feel like history?

#AHouseOfDynamite did a great job of allowing you the viewer to use your own imagination as to what takes place.
Folks bellyaching in it not having an ending?
We See what’s coming next,..doesn’t have to be spelled out for Kids!!!🤷🏾‍♂️

Usher bumping at a Waffle House in Rural Alabama in 2025, my Mom spoke on how the R&B of James Brown’s Era broke down racial barriers.
The human condition, irrespective of race, creed is united through the Power of Music.

Watching this review of the upcoming Yargos Lanthimos project #Bugonia, the heir apparent to David Lynch, makes me wonder what happened to Charlie Kaufman, writer of Adaptation,& Eternal Sunshine is the Spotless Mind? Not enough room for the Weird in Hollywood?

Watching this Man in Irvine get robbed at gunpoint by 3 dudes for his $600,000 Watch on Youtube.
Mos Def's lyrics from #Got come to mind,.."..there's hunger on these streets that is hard to defeat,..many steal for Sport,..but more steal to eat,.." #ObserveLA

#FrancisTiafoe splitting w/ his team so soon after parting with Wayne Ferreira is sad to see. Many of these Pro's look for an unlock from the box, it's his limitations technically that's the real culprit. Can't see him ever hitting the Top 10 again as he gets older. #TennisTalk

Listening to #Deftones latest for the nth-tenth time. You gotta give Chino Moreno his Props. Gwen Stephanie, Alabama Shakes’s Brittany Howard, Lionel Richie are small examples of Vocalists who took Solo paths upon achieving celebrity. #PrivateMusic

Wally Lamb’s #IKnowThisMuchIsTrue, the longest time I’ve spent reading a novel-picked up during the Great Recession.
Very similar writing style as Jeffery Eugenides, namely ‘Middle Sex’..the screen really affects one’s ability to lock in to the written page.

Like Tarantino’s Ultra Violence, #Outkast’s Big Boi’s overt misogyny won’t allow the material to Age Well, Dre should’ve made that split after the success of the first Album.

Watching the son of the great #BjornBorg lose to Shapovalov in Stockholm, you have to feel bad every offspring of great Champions who'll inherently live in the Shadow of their sir name.
Wisdom in Graf,& Agassi keeping a Tennis Court at a distance from the kids. #stockholmopen

Who’s most popular in the modern era in the genre?
As the Night consumes the Day I’m reminded of my Love of #Danzig’s Music, those Four LP’s, Rick Rubin producing the 1st two?
Halloween Season, #SamHain, Glenn deserves an Annual Celebration.

For those of Us who remember in real time the Neo Soul era of the 90’s was a Magical Moment for everyone.
To have Lauryn, Maxwell, #DAngelo , Musiq Soulchild, Groove Theory emerge from the ether birthed by 70’s Inspiration is a testament to the Power of Art. #RIPDAngelo

Don’t have the macro view on it #WB #WarnerBrothers has been under a lot of scrutiny in 2025.
Many comparing it to Paramount’s debacle.
Seeing how frenetic #TheMatrix w/ the younger Gen. underscores how well the studio could do with a Proper Reboot over a continuation. #RedPill

Being a Black Man at Life's midpoint, I've had a Colonoscopy, get blood work every six mnths. Seeing the early demise of Chadwick Boseman, #DAngelo is both a reminder that our time is ephemeral but We have some agency in our health outcomes. #RIPDAngelo #PublicHealth

Rain Patter. Seeing these Men masked robbing a stranger in broad daylight days ago.(in my Mind)
Another Man fending off a home Invasion with Gun Fire.

Mother Nature cries tears for the transgressions We make a/g each other as Brothers,..Kindred Souls. #ObserveLA #LARain

Anniversary release of SoundGarden's seminal #BadMotorFinger happened days ago.
Chris Cornell penned many tracks on our decline into dystopia,".a New Damage comes, it's a faceless poison..the wreck is going down, get out before you drown.." He's been gone yrs. but knew the times.

Watching these bashes on #TronAres you feel bad for the Cast. Jeff Bridges, Jared Leto are sitting on serious Paper-could retire easily. But with Actors being threaten by A.I.,having to take a check,& stay stone faced about mediocrity that Disney's profiting from is Meta?

jomo02.bsky.social @jomo02.bsky.social · 22d

#OneBattleAfterAnother, Coogler's Sinners, Jordan Peele's 'Get Out' growing up Southern but in L.A. two decades, interesting to see how even our entertainment is being decried/exalted in this Culture War.
You'd hope Art inspires dialogue, empathy,& understanding in trying times.
