"If Killer of Sheep were an Italian film from 1953, we would have every scene memorized." — MICHAEL TOLKIN, SCREENWRITER
"Killer of Sheep caught the lives of the children with a fidelity to how kids really do fight, play, and cry — and how they can sometimes be cruel simply because they're so scared." — ROGER EBERT
"What the Italian neorealists accomplished in the years after World War II... Burnett— a one-man African-American New Wave—achieved with [Killer of Sheep]: he gave a culture, a people, a nation new images of themselves." — NELSON KIM, SENSES OF CINEMA
Killer of Sheep examines the black Los Angeles ghetto of Watts in the mid-1970s through the eyes of Stan, a sensitive dreamer who is growing detached and numb from the psychic toll of working at a slaughterhouse.
Frustrated by money problems, he finds respite in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a coffee cup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife in the living room, holding his daughter. The film offers no solutions; it merely presents life — sometimes hauntingly bleak, sometimes filled with transcendent joy and gentle humor. Killer of Sheep is definitely a must see!

You always need a fresh pair of whites for the spring.
Once upon a time, not too long ago, there was a small band of fly brothas who all possessed an impeccable sense of style, as well as a love for all things cultured - art, fashion, literature, music, history, and especially women. Set out on a mission to make the world a flyer place, their leader Bliss Coltrane, also made a vow, to give a very special gift to all the classy ladies of the world. Determined to give them something of immeasurable value - he gave to them something more precious than even gold - he gave them, an endless supply of the world's sexiest shoes.
Report Signature is a line of designer footwear that mixes the playful, ready-to-wear sensibility of its sister line, Report, with a more haute couture design aspect.
I would start off with a pair of solid dark blue denim. A slimmer cut jean would look real clean, especially since this is a narrow fitting sneaker. But unless you have a thin build you should avoid this style of jean. What ever fit you decide to wear, try to keep them as close to your appropriate size as possible (but do you). You definitely don't wanna get to crazy with the leg width, so save the boot-cut jeans for boots.

Scott-Heron's confrontational, no-nonsense street poetry and songwriting skills have inspired the modern Hip-Hop generation.
From Watergate to Apartheid, the Bicentennial to Reaganomics, and the Gulf War to gang wars, Scott-Heron has framed the issues for fellow political activists around the world. Indeed, for nearly four decades and over sixteen albums, Gil Scott-Heron has been a poetic conscience for America. (The album above, Pieces of a man, was Scotts' second album released in 1971)

Pops loved all sorts of music. When asked his thoughts on country-and-Western and folk music, he replied, "All music is folk music. I ain't never heard no horse sing a song."
Many blacks criticized him for the way he spoke, and his habit of rolling his eyes, and flashing his toothy grin while performing. Misunderstood, he was labeled by some as a Uncle Tom and a minstrel. But in actuality he was none the like. Pops loved all people unless they gave him a reason not to. He never wore two faces. His personality was just as colorful off stage, as it was on.For many years, he refused to perform in New Orleans, his hometown, in protest of segregation laws. In 1965, on learning of the violence taken against black freedom-marchers by police in Selma, Alabama, he told an interviewer:
"They would beat Jesus if he was black and marched. Maybe I'm not in the front line, but I support them with my donations. My life is music. They would beat me on the mouth if I marched, and without my mouth I wouldn't be able to blow my horn."
Reflecting on his more than 50 years as a musician, Mr. Armstrong said, "There ain't going to be no more cats in this music game that long."
