TALK IT OUT THURSDAYS

Like Dis Man?

He says he's FREE and from the way he's pushing out songs it also seems like Murphy Lee is busy doing what he does best...Music...His Way. This new song features Nelly and Jermaine Dupri but it's clear that Murph is the star with his lyrical style.

E. LYNN HARRIS dead at 54

He sparked a new energy into book clubs when he hit the scene in the 90's with one famous football playing bi-sexual character, John BASIL Henderson. If you've ever read a E. Lynn Harris book you either love or hate Basil and from the great illustrations that Harris would draw with the words in his books, you felt like you knew all about the life of Basil. Harris sparked life into many as they rushed to get his books the moment his faithful readers knew it stores. The man who gave life to characters through his dynamic writing skills, was found dead at the age of 54 in Beverly Hills, CA. Details on how Harris died have not yet been made public but I'm sure folks already coming up with their own story on how this openly gay author some call the "author of bisexual books" died. We are saddened by this news and will keep his family in our prayers.

We recently did a post about his latest book "Basketball Jones" and it was dynamic read for sure. What was your favorite E. Lynn Harris book of all time and what was your take on the infamous Basil?

who is HOT in STL?

I saw this flyer on facebook and it got me thinking, who really is HOT in St. Louis. It seems that the majority of our comments lately have been all about hate and folks telling us who they DON'T like. So we gotta ask is there anybody in this great City that is getting respect? And why can't we just come out and say that "this person or that business" is doing a great job. 

zWHO DO YOU THINK IS HOT IN STL

WHITE ONLY

Between The Sheets: Pleasure

I was somewhat nervous about reading this book when it first came out. Not because the title or anything scared me, but more because lately Eric Jerome Dickey and I weren't seeing eye to eye on his books. I guess I was searching for that rush I felt when I read Friends and Lovers. However last week I was searching for something to read at the book store and Pleasure just kept jumping out at me. Maybe it's the woman in me and we all seek to have that Pleasure that is not easy to always find. Let me say this book did not dissapoint. I was wrapped in Nia Simone's story and in a way I felt connected to her. Just like she, I have searched desperatel to find the euphoric feeling that makes us feel complete and whole as a woman. But you should always be careful what you wish for, it may be more of a bite than your small mouth could chew. My suggestion is to find a quiet spot in your home, light some candles, cut Maxwell's Blacksummernight on low, and just let this book have its way with you.
