Hidden Gem: Wild Belle “It’s Too Late”
The lyrics:
I’m not asking for lots of fancy toys
I don’t need a lot of fancy toys

This Wednesday Kobe will play his final NBA game. No other player since Jordan has defined Sinatra’s My Way:

Illuminated Chronicles: O Pioneers! (Levi’s Commercial)
Sammy Younan
Girth Radio Presents…
This 2009 Levi’s commercial stays with me…I’m always on the hunt for creative and visual ways to communicate poetry. I’m a poet as much as I am a prophet…the free verse poem is my weapon of choice to confront a cold calculating culture. Yet in this modern society of guns and rough violence it’s almost like I am walking around with a sword. En Garde isn’t Avant-garde. Or is it?
