Where did all of the Real Leaders and Legends Go..
This Hip Hop thing started in 1973, to tell the World that "We Want To Be Heard!" I started the Hip Hop Hall of Fame in 1992 while working on the highly publicizes L.A. Gang Truce during the L.A. Riots, providing jobs, opportunities, and...

Let's face it, you do not care unless it profits you. It is true and it is ok...but please accept it. I have had more contact and guidance from past physicians, friends from years ago and current colleagues than my son has had from all of his coaches of 11 years.

Okay, this is a petty sort of triumph, but I'm going to wallow in it because darnit, one must take one's triumphs where one finds them.

Justin Bieber? Well at least his name isn’t recognized by spell check… yet anyways. Why is Bieber so famous? It’s easy. He is living the American dream. We all want success that we don’t deserve and he is getting it. Once he hits puberty will have to change his tune pun intended because he...

This is an excerpt from 'The Fatal Farewell' - a Hollywood mystery. The last two sentences pretty much sum up my thoughts on 'fame'.
“Okay, you poor, poor rich little famous rock star, adored by millions,” Louise’s acidic voice cut through the group. “I’m going to stop you right there. Do you think...
