Bhythm and Rules
A day after Pazz and Jop, some real news:
Blacklash Alert! It may have taken a budget of millions to push Justin onto less-white fans, but all it takes is fear of bad publicity for it all to go awry. Can't truss him.
Tokenists Beware! Thanks to Jeff Chang for this link to an in-progress discussion on Pazz/Jop, race, Outkast and affirmative action.
Calling All Nude Ivy Leaguers! Ah, the H-Bomb. Besides being a weapon of mass destruction, "the H-Bomb" also refers to the effect one gets when one mentions the name Harvard to someone on the outside looking in. Here's a story about Bush dropping said bomb on Kim Jong-Il (it's fake) and here's a news piece about a new campus porn magazine that will be named "The H-Bomb" (it's true).
