Black Star - Respiration

Hey pals,

I'm posting a link to the Black Star song that I read a verse from the other day in class.  Mos Def and Talib Kweli are some of my favorite Hip - Hop artists.  Check it.

Poetry and Music

Hey gang,

I don't have a lot of time to write out a full post, but I wanted to share an example of a beautiful combination of poetry and music.  In 1965 the Jazz saxophonist John Coltrane, released an historic album titled A Love Supreme.  The last track consists of John Coltrane "playing" the words of a poem he wrote that is a praise of God.  There's too much to say about it right now, but it's a beautiful piece of music and poetry, and deserves your attention.
