First of all, RIP to Billy Preston, veteran r&B singer and "Fifth Beatle":

The great ones have been leaving like crazy. Lou Rawls, Gordon Parks, and now Mr. Preston. There's a big void in terms of African-Americans and artistic impact right now, in my humble opinion.

Second, Justin Timberlake is supposed to revive the Stax Record label:

Now, love him or hate him, somebody needs to revive the label, however I hope the emphasis is still on soul and not commercial acts.

These were just some things that caught my eye, I hope you enjoy them. Be easy, readers.

PS I haven't filmed since Friday, I had to find something to blog about!
