Michael Jackson: the day the music died

Posted in AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Entertainment, Life, Michael Jackson, Music, News on June 25, 2009 | 6 Comments »

I remember as a child, I first became aware of Michael Jackson with his song “Ben”. I was around 10 years old at the time and I remember thinking this is the sweetest song I’d ever heard about friendship.  I remember when Off the Wall came out. I was 18 years old, full of “piss and vinegar” and was [...]

Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman got caught making offensive remarks on an audio taped phone conversation he was having with his son, who is dating a Black woman. Below is a part of the [...]
