Billie Holiday

I am not black, but I too­ — am tired. As a person of color in this country, from a background that may not scream Rockwell and apple pie, I am tired of explaining and trying to coherently lay out what it is to be the “other” to people who have not had the experience of having a background story, and destiny written for and about you ‑ before you are ever met.

The history of pop music, and of black pop music in particular, has always been gay history.

Wonder of wonders: this week's edition includes FOUR dancing robots!

Got to love foreign talent shows.
