Bitches brew

A day trip on youtube led me to look, and find, Bob Marley’s Redemption Song – one searches for what one needs.
Which, of course, led me to find a whole heavenly host of greats performing cover versions.
Which uncovered Sinead O’Connor, and then, Annie Lennox.
This is not so much about who did the best version (though Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder is there with a crazy take), but a reminder of the time when female singers could rely simply on the power of their vocals and some crazy angst.
Creative force did not have room for cheap sex appeal.

One for the sist’aa-hood

All of Tiger Woods’ women are white. Wonder what the black sist’aas feel about that. Them booty not good enough for Tiegah!
Actually, I remember Denis Rodman on a talk show saying he never bonks black women because when he was a nobody, them black women gave him the go by, but after he got rich, they flocked to him; as against white women who recognised him for who he was - a nigga with a giant cock! These by the way included Madonna and Carmen Electra.
Watch you gotta say sist’aas? Are you really just the money honeys?

Mangalorean Catholics

I know 100 girls that look as good or better than Freida Pinto. This is not to take anything away from her acting or looks, it’s just that in the ‘Western’ Indian Catholic community of Maharashtra (my book will one day explain this social grouping in Booker-winning detail, inshallah), girls, generally, just have the Pinto look, or even better.
Freida is Mangalorean however, and that’s the difference within this social subset. The Mangalorean Catholics are the Jews of the Indian Catholic Community. Mainly for their herd-ish mentality and fiscal prudence. But as you can see, their women are beautiful.
