Those Editorial Meetings When I Was Glad There Was No Seat Available For Me


"Events are turning me into a radical skeptic. I no longer believe what I read,...The fact is that almost the entirety of what one reads in the paper or on the web is speculation. The writer isn't telling you what happened, he is offering an interpretation of what happened, or offering a projection of the future...the interpretations of current events, and prophesies of future ones, are merely the products of groupthink or dogma or emotions or wish-casting,...There was a time when newspapers printed astrology columns. They no longer need to. The pseudoscience is on the front page."

Well, it's so nice not to be alone, at last.

Now how do we get out of it?

"If Paul Mooney and Nina Simone had a baby, The Crack Emcee would be the result" - LA WEEKLY

The Crack Emcee
The Crack Emcee was born in Los Angeles. His mother had a thing with Jazz legend Charlie Mingus (producing a sister). Crack served in the Navy before settling into the Punk scenes of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He went on to join the Beatnigs (1988) Consolidated (1992) Broun Fellinis (1995) and then started his own band, Little White Radio (1998). The Crack Emcee has also been releasing a series of critically acclaimed solo mix tapes - starting with 1995's Newt Hates Me - that have solidified his reputation. This output morphed into his solo album, the anti-war Rap's Creation (2002) which was nominated for Album Of The Year (in, both, Rolling Stone and the Village Voice) and that year's list of Hip Hop's Best Anti-War Songs. Crack is listed (twice) as `an artist dedicated to integrity in Donnell Alexander's memoir, Ghetto Celebrity, and is featured on the CD, Just Payin' The Rent: The Amoeba Music Compilation, Vol. II.
