The Great White Hope
Johnson flouted conventions regarding the social and economic "place" of African Americans in American society. As a black man, he broke a powerful taboo in consorting with white women, and would verbally taunt men (both white and black) inside and outside the ring. Johnson was not shy about his affection for white women, nor modest about his physical prowess, both in and out of the ring. Asked the secret of his staying power by a reporter who had watched a succession of women parade into, and out of, the champion's hotel room, Johnson supposedly said, "Eat jellied eels and think distant thoughts."

EV1
I'll bet GM wishes they'd been honest with us about the EV1.Los Angeles – November 18, 2008 -- Former California State Senator and Los Angeles City Councilman Nate Holden is holding a news conference, speaking out against American auto manufacturers and in support of mass-production of the electric car. The Honorable Nate Holden believes that the taxpayers should not bailout the auto manufacturers without The Big Three agreeing to mass-produce the electric car as an incentive.
Nate Holden states the following points:
In 1990, the State of California enacted a zero-emissions mandate, forcing auto manufacturers who sold their cars in the State of California to require that at least 10% of the automobiles that are sold here have zero-emissions.
In 2002 the Bush administration sided with the automakers to fight the zero-emissions mandate. The Bush administration, General Motors, other U.S. automakers and the oil companies committed sabotage against the American people and the environment. Because of the lawsuit, California will not make any strides in improving our air quality. To continue to build internal combustion engines will result in more photochemical smog and will cause more lung cancer and respiratory disease.
At about that time, General Motors embarked on a program to deceive the public and the lawmakers. They introduced the EV1 as a revolutionary concept car. The EV1 had all the whistles and bells and if mass-produced, could have saved the automobile industry from its financial woes. At the beginning, General Motors and the other auto manufacturers never intended for the electric vehicle to be a successful program, specifically the EV1.
It turned out to be nothing but a hoax when General Motors built 1,100 EV1s and allowed the public to lease and road test them. Without a doubt, the EV1, as a prototype vehicle, met the test acceptance program. In fact, in many circles there are those who are of the opinion that it exceeded the testing program. The consumers who leased the EV1 offered to purchase the EV1 vehicle from General Motors. They knew the EV1 was a zero-emission, cost effective automobile. General Motors said "no" and evoked the terms and conditions of the lease requiring that those vehicles be returned to General Motors and they were subsequently destroyed.
General Motors has had at least ten years notice to develop and mass-produce an electric vehicle and they have failed to do so. They have continuously brainwashed the public and the elected officials, claiming that they were on our side and they are not! Here they are again, demanding that the hard-working taxpayers bail them out. (Them being the automobile manufacturers) They are demanding the bailout funding without any pre-conditions. Shame on them!
Congress should not give auto manufacturers another dime until the commitment is made that they will build the electric vehicle as a top priority. We must stop importing our oil from the Middle East. The mass production of the electric vehicle can be our way of achieving that goal.

Sleeping In The Forest
I thought the earth remembered me,she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky (1988)
The Floyd is, hands down, the best concert that I have been fortunate enough to have ever attended... music, the sound of the soul.
After having attended The Division Bell tour, all I can say is that it was indescribable. Whenever I ran into other people who had also seen the concert, the response was always, invariably, the same, "it was awesome" ... then, silence, while staring into one another's eyes, trying to find more words, when there simply were no others to describe the experience. Just... awesome.
I was touched by the fact that there was no generational barrier... music, to stir the heartbeat... lyrics, to stir the mind. There was my generation, my father's generation, as well as my son's generation... all come together.
While watching a bit, recently, on the making of The Dark Side of The Moon, it was shared how Clare Torry (the first one up) came to be on, here. She was told, simply, to think of pain, desperation, loneliness (can't remember all the descriptive words, you get the point)... and this was the result. The best part, when she came out of the recording room, she apologized for what she thought had been a big fuck up... while everyone else had been in awe and dumbfounded.
Perhaps this is the sound of our universal consciousness, in response to the sad state of this world.
This past September, Richard Wright, who was one of the co-founders, as well as keyboardist, lyricists, and vocalist, passed on to that great gig in the sky. I think that things will never be the same.
I truly believe that music is one of those universal connectors, that ties to the heart strings of humanity... further, to the universe... and that music can change things, for all time.
Pink Floyd has certainly been that, for me. Music, for all time.

Without conceptual conflict
Each man is like all other men;
Each man is like some other men;
No man is like any other man.
And yet, there is no paradox.
Each man is like some other men;
No man is like any other man.
