Deeply saddened to hear that Jimmy Cliff has died at the age of 81.

A truly magnificent singer and performer. He started out as a teenager in the early 60s recording future classics like this...

RIP lion 🦁🙏

Tubby’s. They (Jamaica) should honor him (Pat) posthumously.

Pat Kelly -- "It's Good Day"
YouTube video by TheGreenScorcher Pat Kelly -- "It's Good Day"

Scientist says in our forthcoming book Jamaica should honor Pat as a national treasure. I spoke with Pat on the phone once—while interviewing Scientist—and had hoped to interview him, but he passed soon after I spoke to him. This is one of my favorite Pat Kelly tunes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZcj...

Cloverdale Park, Part Three – Love After Death Revisited: A short story The following is a continuation of a short ghost story written by Stephen Cooper, who used to live in Montgomery near Cloverdale Park.

Hi everyone. There’s a lot of bad things going on in the world, but one good thing is: The Montgomery Advertiser—Alabama’s best & most historic newspaper—published “Cloverdale Park, Part Three—Love After Death Revisited: A short story.” Please give it a read! Thank you! www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

Not too many people are still thinking about this, but I forgot to mention my column (which you can find on my timeline), “Alabama savagely gas-tortured a 7th man to death,” was also published in The Tuscaloosa News & The Gadsden Times on Friday. The next gassing-execution date hasn’t been set. Yet.

🗣️ The Montgomery Advertiser—Alabama’s oldest and best newspaper—doesn’t have a presence (yet) on #Bluesky which is too bad. ICYMI this is my most recent opinion-essay just published by The Advertiser concerning last week’s execution in Alabama. Thank you. www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinio...
